I have not used this component but their ABCpdf component was very good.

The documentation claims it can read and write TIFFs / PDFs.
Not sure about RTF/DOC

Apologies if this is the wrong group and please direct me elsewhere if
necessary.

I do some Windows programming, but not yet with the Adobe SDK. I am
trying to determine if I need to start on a new project using the Adobe
SDK or not.

I need to do batch conversion of very large monochrome PDFs to TIFFs
and have not found an existing solution. I tried Adobe's Save As but
could not find the necessary 400 dpi option I need; otherwise it works
nicely. Also tried GhostScript which works well except it is
prohibitively slow on certain files in Windows.

Also tried many 3rd party products and none of them seem to do a very
good job. It's perplexing that they seem to do such a poor job compared
to Acrobat's Save As. Wouldn't they use the same SDK?

Would the SDK allow me to make my own converter and if so would this be
very difficult for someone who regularly, but not professionally nor
constantly, programs using Windows C++ and C#?

If anyone knows of existing products that actually do a good job I
would like to try them first.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

You may have the answer to a question I've been asking but not gotten
an answer to.

You talk above about using Acrobat's Save As funtion to convert your
file.

I am trying to write a VB program to do exactly that. All I want to
do is open a .pdf in Acrobat and programatically click the file and
save as menu commands and then save the file as text.

However, I have trouble getting control of the Adobe reader control on
my VB form. I start my program, but cannot get the focus to the
control so that I can save the text.

Can you help me with that?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to intrude on your question, but you seem to have solved the
step I am right behind you on.

Thanks again.

No, I haven't even looked at the SDK yet. Sorry.
