Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

I dont think its possible without doing a lot of code or using third party tools, but if you are looking for a free tool you can try a combination of

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

Download the Open Source Library called as PDFSharp then put this code in, for creating, drawing and saving the pdf file.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
     doc.Pages.Add(new PdfPage());
     XGraphics xgr = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(doc.Pages[0]);
     XImage img = XImage.FromFile(source);

     xgr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0);
     doc.Save(destinaton);
     doc.Close();

I hope this works.. If you get any other solution pls do post.

Best Wishes

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

This was not working for tiff files.Then I had to generate a jpeg and import to the pdf and delete the jpeg.Here is my class code.Waiting for your comments.This works.Thank you.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Drawing;
using WebsiteThumbnail;
using PdfSharp.Pdf;
using PdfSharp.Drawing;
using System.IO;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for cls_pdf
/// </summary>
public class cls_pdf
{
    public cls_pdf()
    {
        //
        // TODO: Add constructor logic here
        //
    }

    public void PdfGen(string URL, string pageWidth, string pageHeight, string savingPath, string fileName)
    {
        string address = URL; //"http://" + txtWebsiteAddress.Text;
        int width = Int32.Parse(pageWidth);
        int height = Int32.Parse(pageHeight);
        //Bitmap bmp = WebsiteThumbnailImageGenerator.GetWebSiteThumbnail(address, 800, 600, width, height);
        Bitmap bmp = WebsiteThumbnailImageGenerator.GetWebSiteThumbnail(address, width, height, width, height);

        string jpegSource = savingPath + "/ " + fileName + ".jpg";
        string pdfSource = savingPath + "/ " + fileName + ".pdf";
        bmp.Save(jpegSource);//bmp.Save(Server.MapPath("~") + "/thumbnail.tif");

        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
        doc.Pages.Add(new PdfPage());
        XGraphics xgr = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(doc.Pages[0]);
        XImage img = XImage.FromFile(jpegSource);

        xgr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
        doc.Save(pdfSource);
        doc.Close();

        FileInfo delimg = new FileInfo(jpegSource);
        delimg.Delete();
    }
}

Do remember to "Mark as answer" for above post or the post that helped you solve the issue like my issue.

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

You will need to use a 3rd party tool to get the job done easily. There is a very good open source library called itextSharp. Try it out, it is real good, fast and reliable. I've used it in many projects.

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

There is no a direct method to use iTextSharp.PdfSharp is an opensource .dll. Look at my previouse thread using PdfSharp codings.I have tested it.

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

Thanks to Srikanth Kasturi. PDFSharp code worked fine for me. Here is the code.

using PdfSharp.Pdf;
using PdfSharp.Drawing;

TiffImageSplitter tiff = new TiffImageSplitter();

 public void tiff2PDF(string fileName)
        {
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

            int pageCount = tiff.getPageCount(fileName);

            for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++)
            {
                PdfPage page = new PdfPage();
                
                Image tiffImg = tiff.getTiffImage(fileName, i);
                
                XImage img = XImage.FromGdiPlusImage(tiffImg);
                
                page.Width = img.PointWidth;
                page.Height = img.PointHeight;
                doc.Pages.Add(page);
               
                XGraphics xgr = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(doc.Pages[i]);

                xgr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0);
            }

            doc.Save("C:/CJT/PDF/34326.pdf");

            doc.Close();
            
        }

To make this work you need Tiff related code also. Here is the Tiff Image Splitter code.

 class TiffImageSplitter
    {
        // Retrive PageCount of a multi-page tiff image
        public int getPageCount(String fileName)
        {
            int pageCount = -1;
            try
            {
                Image img = Bitmap.FromFile(fileName);
                pageCount = img.GetFrameCount(FrameDimension.Page);
                img.Dispose();

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                pageCount = 0;
            }
            return pageCount;
        }

        public int getPageCount(Image img)
        {
            int pageCount = -1;
            try
            {
                pageCount = img.GetFrameCount(FrameDimension.Page);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                pageCount = 0;                
            }
            return pageCount;
        }

// Retrive a specific Page from a multi-page tiff image
        public Image getTiffImage(String sourceFile, int pageNumber)
        {
            Image returnImage = null;

            try
            {
                Image sourceIamge = Bitmap.FromFile(sourceFile);
                returnImage = getTiffImage(sourceIamge, pageNumber);
                sourceIamge.Dispose();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                returnImage = null;                
            }

            //       String splittedImageSavePath = "X:\\CJT\\CJT-Docs\\CJT-Images\\result001.tif";
            //       returnImage.Save(splittedImageSavePath);

            return returnImage;
        }

        public Image getTiffImage(Image sourceImage, int pageNumber)
        {
            MemoryStream ms = null;
            Image returnImage = null;

            try
            {
                ms = new MemoryStream();
                Guid objGuid = sourceImage.FrameDimensionsList[0];
                FrameDimension objDimension = new FrameDimension(objGuid);
                sourceImage.SelectActiveFrame(objDimension, pageNumber);
                sourceImage.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Tiff);
                returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                returnImage = null;                   
            }
            return returnImage;
        }

Hope this helps.

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

This works for me too.

But can we convert the whole folder containing tiff's? i.e, i have a folder tree containing tiff's in all different folder, so can we just give the root folder and convert all tiff's to pdf's?

something like recursing all the the folder structure and converting with them to same file name.pdf..

Thanks.

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

Try to use PDF Vision (for c#, asp.net, vb.net). Trial version is unlimited.

It adds only a small piece of text from which it is easy to get rid of.

Re: How to convert .tiff image file to .pdf file without using any 3rd party tool using C#.net

Hi,

Thats very nice. The solution saves the converted PDF document on harddisk. I wonder, if anyone knows how to download the converted file (PDF) from an ASP.NET page.

Thanks.
