PDF is a page description language. TIFF is purely graphical. I think you have to use a commercial print to TIFF solution (I use Peernet, but there are other very promising looking products). IIRC, another possibility is using Ghostscript with special commandline parameters.

Or output to JPEG and roll your own with libtiff, but this seems like a lot of work.

You can use GDI Plus library for converting to TIFF.

Hi bsaf!

Why not use RenderDocumentToFile?
For each documentpage a new tiff... This should work.

Best regards,
Ingo

Tiff is not an option mentioned in the documentation for RenderDocumetToFile. Is there an undocumented option that will allow for this?

Sorry. You're right. No tiff.

Best regards,

For my imaging work, I use ImgX ActiveX controls from Atalasoft. (they also have .NET controls). While their control will not read PDF, it can read many other formats. I used RenderDocumentToFile to render the PDF to PNG format. From there, I read in the PNG files into ImgX and export to tiff.

Use RenderPageToStream or RenderPageToFile
Load into GDIPlus (See MSDN for example) and save as tiff.
