Hi,
I am evaluating your PDF XChange Pro SDK.
I am looking for a function to directly convert a multipage tiff file to a new pdf file. Is this possible with just one function call? As far as i understand your manual, i have to use a load of code using functions like PXC_NewDocument, PXC_AddPage, PXC_AddImageA, PXC_PlaceImage and so forth, and i have to deal with all the pages and page sizes of the multi page tiff file myself.
Am i missing something?
Best regards,
Christian

Re: Convert multipage tiff file to pdf
Hi Chrisme,
Thank you for your post.
The functions sound good to me.
Something you would like to take a look is "NewDocumentFromImages" from the help manual: PDFV_AX.pdf.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

Re: Convert multipage tiff file to pdf
Hi Christian,
The PDF Tools SDK functions you are looking at allow you to control the whole PDF creation process - and you can build PDF files from various sources - but in your case might be indeed a bit of an overkill.
The NewDocumentFromImages method Nico mentions uses our Viewer AX - and will require User Interface and some interaction from the user.
But maybe the third option I could think of is going to be the right one
As you said you are testing the whole PRO SDK - this means that you can also test our printing drivers. It might be easiest to "print" your PDF to our drivers - and then via code control where the generated PDF is to be saved. This can be done silently in a background process without any user interaction. Check the Drivers API component and manuals for this.
Best,
Stefan
