Codecs: How to convert PDF to TIFF?

In This Topic

SDK renders PDF page (draw text, images and graphics on PDF page) when converting PDF document to a TIFF file.

By default SDK:

Renders PDF page with 96 dpi resolution.
Searches external font in directory "$ASSEMBLY_DIRECTORY$\Fonts\" and in fonts directory of the operation system.

You need override algorithm for searching external fonts if PDF document contains not standard external fonts. This can be done using the FileFontProgramsControllerWithFallbackFont class.
More info about fonts in PDF document can be found here.

Here is an example that shows how to convert PDF document with default resolution (96 dpi) to TIFF file using ImageCollection and TiffEncoder classes:
