C#: Convert PDF to TIFF or TIFF to PDF

PDF files are widely used for sharing and viewing documents across different platforms, while TIFF files are preferred for storing high-quality images with detailed graphics or photographs. Converting a PDF file to TIFF can maintain the quality of images within the file. Similarly, converting a TIFF image to PDF ensures that the image can be easily viewed, shared, and printed without compatibility issues. In this article, you will learn how to programmatically convert PDF to TIFF or TIFF to PDF in C# using Spire.PDF for .NET.

Install Spire.PDF for .NET

To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.PDF for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.

PM> Install-Package Spire.PDF

Convert PDF to TIFF in C#

The TIFF format allows multiple images to be stored in a single file. With Spire.PDF for .NET, you can convert each page of a PDF file into a separate image, and then call the custom method JoinTiffImages() to combine these images and save them as a single TIFF image.

The following are the steps to convert a PDF into a multi-page TIFF file using C#.

  • Create a PdfDocument object.
  • Load a PDF file using PdfDocument.LoadFromFile() method.
  • Call custom method SaveAsImage() to convert each page of the PDF to a separate image.
  • Call custom method JoinTiffImages() to merge the converted images into a multi-page TIFF image.
  • C#
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using Spire.Pdf;

namespace SavePdfAsTiff
{

            //Load a PDF document
            pdf.LoadFromFile("Report.pdf");

            //Convert PDF pages to images
            Image[] images = SaveAsImage(pdf);

            //Combine the images and save them as a multi-page TIFF file
            JoinTiffImages(images, "result.tiff", EncoderValue.CompressionLZW);
        }

C#: Convert PDF to TIFF or TIFF to PDF

Convert TIFF to PDF in C#

To convert a multi-page TIFF image to a PDF file, you need to convert each frame of the TIFF image to a separate PDF image. Then draw each image at a specified location on a PDF page through the PdfPageBase.Canvas.DrawImage() method.

The following are the steps to convert a TIFF image to a PDF file using C#.

  • Create a PdfDocument object.
  • Load a TIFF image using Image.FromFile() method.
  • Call custom method SplitTiffImage() to split the TIFF image into separate images.
  • Iterate through the split images, and then convert each into a PDF image.
  • Add a page to the PDF document using PdfDocument.Pages.Add() method.
  • Draw the PDF image at a specified location on the page using PdfPageBase.Canvas.DrawImage() method.
  • Save the result PDF file using PdfDocument.SaveToFile() method.

C#/VB.NET: Print Excel Documents

Excel documents are easy to print, but it would be a bit tricky if you have some special printing requirements. For example, printing only selected range of a sheet, repeating the header row on each page, or fitting a worksheet on one page. This article covers how to set Excel print options via page setup and how to send an Excel document to printer in C# and VB.NET by using Spire.XLS for .NET.

Install Spire.XLS for .NET

To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.XLS for .NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.

PM> Install-Package Spire.XLS

Set Excel Print Options via Page Setup in C# and VB.NET

Excel Page Setup provides options to control how a worksheet will be printed, such as whether to print comments, whether to print gridlines and specify the cell range to print. Spire.XLS offers the PageSetup object to deal with these things. The following are the steps to set Excel print options through PageSetup using Spire.XLS for .NET.

  • Create a Workbook object.
  • Load an Excel file using Workbook.LoadFromFile() method.
  • Get a specific worksheet through Workbook.Worksheets[index] property.
  • Get PageSetup object through Worksheet.PageSetup property.
  • Set page margins, print area, pint title row, print quality, etc. through the properties under PageSetup object.
  • Save the workbook to another Excel file using Workbook.SaveToFile() method.
  • C#
  • VB.NET
using Spire.Xls;

namespace PrintOptions
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create a workbook
            Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

            //Load an Excel document 
            workbook.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\sample.xlsx");

            //Get the first worksheet
            Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

            //Get the PageSetup object of the first worksheet
            PageSetup pageSetup = worksheet.PageSetup;

            //Set page margins
            pageSetup.TopMargin = 0.3;
            pageSetup.BottomMargin = 0.3;
            pageSetup.LeftMargin = 0.3;
            pageSetup.RightMargin = 0.3;

            //Specify print area
            pageSetup.PrintArea = "A1:D10";

            //Specify title row
            pageSetup.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$2";

            //Allow to print with row/column headings
            pageSetup.IsPrintHeadings = true;

            //Allow to print with gridlines
            pageSetup.IsPrintGridlines = true;

            //Allow to print comments as displayed on worksheet
            pageSetup.PrintComments = PrintCommentType.InPlace;

            //Set printing quality (dpi)
            pageSetup.PrintQuality = 300;

            //Allow to print worksheet in black & white mode
            pageSetup.BlackAndWhite = true;

            //Set the printing order
            pageSetup.Order = OrderType.OverThenDown;

            //Fit worksheet on one page
            pageSetup.IsFitToPage = true;

            //Save the workbook
            workbook.SaveToFile("PagePrintOptions.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016);
        }
    }
}

            Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

            //Load an Excel file
            workbook.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\sample.xlsx");

            //Fit worksheet on one page    
            PageSetup pageSetup = workbook.Worksheets[0].PageSetup;
            pageSetup.IsFitToPage = true;

            //Set the print controller to StandardPrintController, which will prevent print process from showing
            workbook.PrintDocument.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();

            //Get PrinterSettings from the workbook
            PrinterSettings settings = workbook.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings;

            //Specify printer name, duplex mode and print pages
            settings.PrinterName = "HP LaserJet P1007"; 
            settings.Duplex = Duplex.Simplex;
            settings.FromPage = 1;
            settings.ToPage = 3;         

            //Print the workbook
            workbook.PrintDocument.Print();

Insert an Image to PDF Grid Cell in C#

This sample demo has demonstrated how to draw nested grid in PDF document and set grid row&cell format. In the following section, we are going to create a simple PDF grid and show you how to insert an image to a specific PDF grid cell in C#. Before we can follow the code snippet below to accomplish the task, we have to prepare the environment first.

Download Spire.PDF and install it on system, create or open a .NET class application in Visual Studio 2005 or above versions, add Spire.PDF.dll to your .NET project assemblies.Then let's code step by step to make a better understanding about the whole procedure.

Step 1: Create a PDF document and add a new page.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();

Step 2: Create a 2×2 grid to PDF.

PdfGrid grid = new PdfGrid();
PdfGridRow row = grid.Rows.Add();
           row = grid.Rows.Add();
                 grid.Columns.Add(2);

Step 3: Set the cell padding of the PDF grid.

grid.Style.CellPadding = new PdfPaddings(1, 1, 1, 1);

Step 4: Set the width of the columns.

float width = page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width - (grid.Columns.Count + 1);
      grid.Columns[0].Width = width * 0.25f;
      grid.Columns[1].Width = width * 0.25f;

Step 5: Load an image from disk.

PdfGridCellContentList lst = new PdfGridCellContentList();
PdfGridCellContent textAndStyle = new PdfGridCellContent();
textAndStyle.Image = PdfImage.FromFile("..\\..\\image1.jpg");

Step 6: Set the size of image and insert it to the first cell.

textAndStyle.ImageSize = new SizeF(50, 50);
lst.List.Add(textAndStyle);
          
grid.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value = lst;
grid.Rows[1].Height = grid.Rows[0].Height;

Step 7: Draw PDF grid into page at the specific location.

PdfLayoutResult result = grid.Draw(page, new PointF(10, 30));

Step 8: Save to a PDF file and launch the file.

doc.SaveToFile(outputFile, FileFormat.PDF);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(outputFile);

Result:

{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string outputFile = @"..\..\output.pdf";
            //Create a pdf document
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            //Add a page for the pdf document
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();
            //Create a pdf grid
            PdfGrid grid = new PdfGrid();
            //Set the cell padding of pdf grid
            grid.Style.CellPadding = new PdfPaddings(1, 1, 1, 1);
            //Add a row for pdf grid
            PdfGridRow row = grid.Rows.Add();
            //Add two columns for pdf grid 
            grid.Columns.Add(2);
            float width = page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width - (grid.Columns.Count + 1);
            //Set the width of the first column
            grid.Columns[0].Width = width * 0.25f;
            grid.Columns[1].Width = width * 0.25f;
            //Add a image
            PdfGridCellContentList lst = new PdfGridCellContentList();
            PdfGridCellContent textAndStyle = new PdfGridCellContent();
            textAndStyle.Image = PdfImage.FromFile("..\\..\\image1.jpg");
            //Set the size of image
            textAndStyle.ImageSize = new SizeF(50, 50);
            lst.List.Add(textAndStyle);
            //Add a image into the first cell. 
            row.Cells[0].Value = lst;
            //Draw pdf grid into page at the specific location
            PdfLayoutResult result = grid.Draw(page, new PointF(10, 30));
            //Save to a pdf file 
            doc.SaveToFile(outputFile, FileFormat.PDF);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(outputFile);
        }
    }
}

As a standalone component, compatible with all .NET developing platforms, Spire.PDF for .NET enables developers to create, read, write, edit and handle PDF files without any external PDF reader or software its alike. In this section, I’ll introduce you how to create a PDF file and save it to stream, and how to load PDF file from stream on the contrary.

Part I. Create PDF file and save it to stream

Step 1: New a PDF instance.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

Step 2: Create one page.

PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();

Step 3: Add text to that page.

page.Canvas.DrawString("Hello, World!",
                        new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 30f),
                        new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black),
                        10, 10);

Step 4: Save PDF file to Stream.

FileStream to_strem = new FileStream("To_stream.pdf", FileMode.Open);
doc.SaveToStream(to_stream);
to_stream.Close();
doc.Close();

Part II. Load PDF file from stream

Step 1: New a PDF instance.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

Step 2: Load PDF file from stream.

FileStream from_stream = File.OpenRead("sample.pdf");
doc.LoadFromStream(from_stream);

Step 3: Save the PDF document.

doc.SaveToFile("From_stream.pdf",FileFormat.PDF);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("From_stream.pdf");

using System.Text;
using Spire.Pdf;
using System.IO;
using Spire.Pdf.Graphics;
using System.Drawing;

namespace PdfAndStream
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //A: create PDF file and save it to stream

            //create a pdf document.
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

            // create one page
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add();

            //draw the text
            page.Canvas.DrawString("Hello, World!",
                                   new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 30f),
                                   new PdfSolidBrush(Color.Black),
                                   10, 10);   
    
            //save pdf file to Stream
            FileStream to_stream = new FileStream("To_stream.pdf", FileMode.Open);
            doc.SaveToStream(to_stream);
            to_stream.Close();
            doc.Close();

            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("To_stream.pdf");

            
            //B: Load PDF file from Stream

            //create a pdf document.
            PdfDocument docFrom = new PdfDocument();

            //load PDF file from stream
            FileStream from_stream = File.OpenRead("sample.pdf");
            docFrom.LoadFromStream(from_stream);
            
            //save the pdf document
            docFrom.SaveToFile("From_stream.pdf",FileFormat.PDF);

            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("From_stream.pdf");


        }
