I have been using the Kodak image controls to print my image files. I found it to be the easiest way to convert Tiff documents and other image files that Amyuni supports to PDF format. However, Windows XP no longer carries the Kodak image controls. So, it's a potential problem for me and my XP users.
I have looked at all the examples in Amyuni's technical notes but I haven't seen any example that actually deals with Tiff files. There are plenty of examples for converting doc and xls files, but not a single one that shows how to convert Tiffs. I've seen references to the technical notes several times whenever someone asks about tiff conversion, but unless there's another tech notes page, I don't remember reading anything about Tiff conversion that is as instructive as the examples for converting MS Office files. Has anyone actually been able to programmatically convert tiffs to PDFs? If so, could you please post a sample code? I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Tiff Conversion
Hello Paolo,
You are right in our technical note we do not have a specific sample to convert tiff files. We have samples to convert MS office documents.
Mainly one needs to open the tiff file in a tiff viewer and print it to the PDF Printer. If the developers are familiar with automating tiff viewers than it will be easy for them to convert tiff files to pdf programmatically.
We have customers who convert tiff files from inside their own applications, I hope any of them will see your post and add a sample code here.
In the meantime I will check if we have an internal sample to convert tiff files and will try to publish it here.
Thanks

Hello,
The Kodak Imaging tool provided with win2000 was an ideal product to preview and print TIFF images but as you have mentioned this tool was not included with winXP.
We have found another product "Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library" which is provided by Microsoft that will also allow you to programmatically preview and print TIFF files. This DLL is design to function on winXP service pack 1 only.
You can download this DLL from the link below:

If you wish to obtain a sample application that uses this tool with the PDF Converter please contact canada.support@amyuni.com and we will gladly send it to you.
Hope this helps.
