This article explains how to convert TIFF image files to PDF.
You’ll learn how to convert the image to a PDF document without optical character recognition (OCR). This means that the text in the image isn’t recognized, and you cannot search in the output PDF file. For more information, see the guide on converting images to searchable PDFs.
For more information on using mixed raster content (MRC) compression during the conversion, see the guide on hypercompression.
Creating a PDF from a TIFF File
To create a PDF from a TIFF file, follow these steps:
-
Create a
GdPictureDocumentConverter
object. -
Load the source document by passing its path to the
LoadFromFile
method. Recommended: Specify the source document format with a member of theDocumentFormat
enumeration. -
Save the output in a new PDF document with the
SaveAsPDF
method.
The example below creates a PDF document from a TIFF file:
using GdPictureDocumentConverter gdpictureDocumentConverter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter(); // Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile(@"C:\temp\source.tiff", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatTIFF); // Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF(@"C:\temp\output.pdf");
Using gdpictureDocumentConverter As GdPictureDocumentConverter = New GdPictureDocumentConverter() ' Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile("C:\temp\source.tiff", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatTIFF) ' Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF("C:\temp\output.pdf") End Using

Optional PDF Configuration Properties
Optionally, configure the conversion with the following properties of the GdPictureDocumentConverter
object:
-
PdfBitonalImageCompression
is a member of thePdfCompression
enumeration that specifies the compression scheme used for bitonal images in the output PDF file. -
PdfColorImageCompression
is a member of thePdfCompression
enumeration that specifies the compression scheme used for color images in the output PDF file. -
PdfEnableColorDetection
is a Boolean value that specifies whether to use automatic color detection during the conversion that preserves image quality and reduces the output file size. -
PdfEnableLinearization
is a Boolean value that specifies whether to linearize the output PDF to enable Fast Web View mode. -
PdfImageQuality
is an integer from 0 to 100 that specifies the image quality in the output PDF file.
The example below creates a PDF document from a TIFF file with a custom configuration:
using GdPictureDocumentConverter gdpictureDocumentConverter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter(); // Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile(@"C:\temp\source.tiff", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatTIFF); // Configure the conversion. gdpictureDocumentConverter.PdfColorImageCompression = PdfCompression.PdfCompressionJPEG; gdpictureDocumentConverter.PdfImageQuality = 50; // Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF(@"C:\temp\output.pdf");
Using gdpictureDocumentConverter As GdPictureDocumentConverter = New GdPictureDocumentConverter() ' Load the source document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.LoadFromFile("C:\temp\source.tiff", GdPicture14.DocumentFormat.DocumentFormatTIFF); ' Configure the conversion. gdpictureDocumentConverter.PdfColorImageCompression = PdfCompression.PdfCompressionJPEG gdpictureDocumentConverter.PdfImageQuality = 50 ' Save the output in a new PDF document. gdpictureDocumentConverter.SaveAsPDF("C:\temp\output.pdf") End Using
