    Anyone knows of a free Pdf to Tiff conversion tool, preferably an ActiveX DLL? I've looked into GhostScript, but AFAIK, I'd have to do it from the command line (Shell) which is not the nicest way in the world to do it. Thanks! Carl

      If you install MS Office, it adds a new printer called "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". You can make that one "print" any file to TIFF images.

        Hi, The problem is that it will open Acrobat (Reader) to print the file to a Tiff, which is just slow when you have to convert 2000 PDFs :) Plus, the user will need to have Office installed, which is not always the case. Thanks anyway for your reply! Carl

          But maybe the command line would be the nicest way if you had to convert 2000 PDFs :) Nothing beats the command line for batch processing


          All the label says is that this stuff contains chemicals "... known to the State of California to cause cancer in rats and low-income test subjects."

            There's more to it. I need to convert them to TIFF, then Fax then from an old VB6 application. That's why command line is not the nicest way to do it. It should all be done within the same .EXE.

              * if you want to embed it into an application, have you tried ShellExecute ? [I don't know if I remember it correctly.. but you can start programs completely in the background] * Have you tried sourceforege.. they've got some free PDF Libs.. only problem if you want to sell the program (may be gpl)
