Create a PDF from a TIFF file

The code below shows you how to use the ImagePrintProvider class to convert a TIFF file to a PDF.

This sample requires a Tools license.

using System.IO;
using SolidFramework.Plumbing;
using SolidFramework.Pdf.Creators;
using SolidFramework.Pdf;
using SolidFramework.Pdf.Creators.Plumbing;

namespace TIFFtoPDF
{
    class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Call your Solid Documents License
            SolidFramework.License.Import(@"C:\MyFolder\license.xml");

            // Set the location of your the file you want to convert
            String pdfPath = @"C:\YourFolder\yourpdf.tif";

            //*TIFF to PDF*//
            using (ImagePrintProvider imagePrintProvider = new ImagePrintProvider())
            {
                // Set the type of Image Optimization
                imagePrintProvider.Optimize = Optimize.Professional;

                // Add the source file
                imagePrintProvider.Print(pdfPath);

                // Create a PDF document object
                PdfDocument document = imagePrintProvider.PdfCreator.PdfDocument;

                // Set the output path and the file type
                document.Path = Path.ChangeExtension(pdfPath, ".pdf");

                // Convert and Save the file
                document.Save(OverwriteMode.ForceOverwrite);
            }
        }
    }
}
