How to convert a TIF into a PDF?
Hello,
I will try to give you here general information to help you and help other new users trying to use the PDF Converter for the first time.
Here are the steps to follow:
1 - Download a demo version of the PDF Converter from: http://www.amyuni.com/en/products/pdf_c ... /demo.html
You will have the choice between the End User version and the Developer version. The End User version has a user interface, can be used from all applications on your system and a license is needed for each PC on which you want to install the version.
The Developer version doesn't have a user interface, can be used only from inside your own application, all the printer settings are set programmatically, this version can be distributed royalty free with your application to your registered users only.
In your case you may want to download the Developer version.
2 - When installing the End User demo version, it is already activated, you can start printing to the PDF Printer directly and get the output pdf file.
You can set the printer configuration and the output file name by clicking on Printer --> Preferences or by clicking on the Properties button before printing.
When installing the Developer version, you get a dialog box containing the LicenseTo and Activation Code, please copy these to a notepad or any other application because you will need them later on.
3 - As using the Developer version is possible only from inside your own application, i am including here a VB sample that prints word document to PDF Files.
Along with the PDF Converter you will receive CDIntf.dll, this povides developers with an ActiveX and a DLL interface to choose from. So developers can choose to use either the DLL or the ActiveX interface in their application.
In this code i am using the ActiveX interface, In this Case CDintfEx should be added as a reference to the VB application.
To convert Tiff files to pdf you need to print your tiff files to the PDF Printer similary as printing a word document above. Under Windows 2000 you can use Kodak Imaging tool, under Windows XP you can use 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 designed to function on winXP service pack 1 only.
You can download this DLL from the link below:

' Attach to the existing PDF Printer (Initialize the printer)

Set worddoc = Documents.Open("C:\Temp\TestFile.doc", , , , , , , , , , , True)
'The printer should be enabled before each printout or when capturing the EnablePre event
pdf.EnablePrinter LicenseTo, ActivationCode
' Print the Word document
worddoc.PrintOut ActivePrinter = PrinterName
worddoc.Close
pdf.FileNameOptions = 0
