Convert TIF to PDF

[sten2006]

Hi,

What is the best way (using any of your tools) to convert TIF files to PDF ?

I would prefer to do this without using the virtual printer driver.
Can the XChange Viewer SDK do this ?
Do you have any sample code (VB6 or VB.Net) ?

I could convert the TIFs to bitmaps first if this would help.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

You shoukld use the functions available in the PDF-Tools SDK (evaluation freely available with examples) - TIFF is a supported direct conversion format via the DLL methods provided (i.e. non print driver)

Hi,
I downloaded the SDK and have just browsed through all the examples. Lot's on them. Great.

But unfortunately I couldn't find the example that takes a tif-file and convert it into a pdf-file - with ocr character recognition. Did I miss something?

Best regards

Using Viewer's simple SDK, you can get bitmap of the page, and you can write it into any format you want (you can use Image-XChange, or, say, GDI+). But our OCR engine is still in developming and no available for public access, so, I'm afraid you need to use for now another library to handle this.
