Hello,

I have been using quickpdf for a while now to create pdf files. Now I would like to be able to convert a pdf file to a tif file. Can quickpdf do this? If so, what function call would be needed?

Thanks,

Reagan

Hello Reagan,

As far as I can tell, you can't save PDFs directly to TIFs. You can http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/RenderPageToFile.php - save them directly as BMPs, PNGs, GIFs, and JPEGs . You can also use http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/RenderingAndPrinting.php - one of the other render options to render it into memory and then use the TIFF library to save it yourself.

Hope this helps,

Wesley

Thanks. What exactly is the "TIFF Library"? Is that something that is built in to quickpdf?

Hi Reagan,

Wesley is right, you can't currently save PDFs directly to TIFs using Quick PDF Library, however, we will investigate what's required to add support for TIFs in a future version.

Cheers,
Rowan

P.S. a TIFF Library would simply be an additional third party library that gave you the ability to create TIFs programmatically. I think the library which Wesley was referring to is > http://www.libtiff.org.

My apologies for not being clear. You could use http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/ - libTIFF , as Rowan mentions, for C or C++, any image-writing support from your GUI library, or a variety of third-party libraries for any language.

ok. Thank you both for your help. I will look into third party tools to accomplish this.
