Converting PDF to TIFF

In my current project I have a requirement to convert pre-existing PDF documents to TIFF documents as part of a process in a Windows Service. I've seen and demo'ed a few third party tools such as EasyPDF and PDFRasterizer. I was wondering if anyone knew of any open source or other solutions I should consider.

    Frank did you ever get an answer on this one. I am trying to do the same thing to Fax pdf documents out.... my software that does the faxing only accepts tiff's

    Thanks for any help

    We're still evaluating which product to use. Since our first group of users don't need the TIFF functionality, we didn't include it in our current release but we'll need to have it later.

    If Adobe Acrobat is installed on the computer you can use the Acrobat Interapplication Communication library to export it as a series of TIFFs.

    Any hints on how to user the Acrobat interapplication Communication library

    When I tried converting a PDF to tiff images in a background process using the Adobe Acrobat API they all came out as 96dpi, which is completely useless for printing as everything is fuzzy.

    There must be a way to programatically do this. Or maybe there isn't.

    i cant believe how hard this is to find code to do a conversion from a pdf to a tiff.... seems like it would be easy in .net. I just dont know how to read a pdf into a image class.... do you

    Hi,

    Someone on here maybe able to automate this process.>>

    1) Open PDF file in a maximised window.

    2) Select FIT TO WINDOW option.

    3) PASTE the window to the clipboard.

    4) Open PhotoShop ( or a package that can save TIFF's )

    5) PASTE into Photoshop or similiar.

    6)a) Ask the user for a base file name for each page like myLecturePDF01.tif

    6)b) Advance the file number e.g. myLecturePDF02.tif, myLecturePDF02.tif and so on....

    7)a) Advance the page in the viewer if not at the last page.

    7)b) If already on last page then finish the process.

    8) Go to step 3) but skip step 4)

    Regards,

    S_DS
