PDF to Multi-Page Image

The following savePDFAsMultiplePageTIF sample illustrates how you can create a multi-page TIFF from a multi-page PDF loaded in an igDocument. In the following sample we use ImGearSavingModes to control some raster options like bit depth and scaling (to control resolution):

PDF support needs to be initialized first for this snippet to work. To get familiar with initializing IGNET, initializing PDF support, loading a PDF, saving a PDF, and terminating PDF support, try any one of the tutorials.

In the following sample we use an alternative approach to the one above that uses global control parameters to control some raster options like bit depth and resolution:
