Convert to multipage-TIFF using C# and .NET
In today's digital world, document processing is an important part of solutions for businesses and individual users. One of the common image formats for storing document pages is TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), especially when it comes to multi-page images. In this article, we will explain in detail how to use the SautinSoft Pdf .Net library for converting PDF files to multipage TIFF images using C# and .NET.
Multipage-TIFF is a format that is great for storing multiple images (pages) inside a single file. This format is widely used in electronic document management systems, archival systems and for protection against changes, as TIFF supports various compression modes and provides high-quality images.
Advantages of multipage TIFF:
- Versatility. It is suitable for storing all documentation in one file.
- Compression and quality. Thanks to the development of compression methods, TIFF allows you to save high-quality images with minimal volume.
- Compatibility. It is supported by many image viewer systems and editors.
Reasons for use:
- Archiving. Long-term storage of documents in single files for easy accounting and search.
- Exchange of documents. Sending documents as images when the requirements are such that the original files are unavailable.
- Image processing and analysis. Data preparation for text recognition (OCR) or image processing systems.
- Legal and judicial needs. Preservation of evidence in an unchangeable form.
Using SautinSoft Pdf .Net is used by professional developers, system integrators, and organizations around the world for these tasks because it provides reliability and ease of implementation.
