PDF to TIFF using VB.NBET Error:

[Hasan_Ali@adobeforums.com]

I'm trying to use the following VB function to transform a pdf
document to a tiff one:
I am using Visual Studio 2008, VB.Net
Using the following code, But when I type
'JSObj.SaveAs(fullPathTIF, "com.adobe.acrobat.tiff")'
Visual studio intelisence doesn't show the SaveAs method at all. I went ahead and typed it, but got the following error in that line
Error: UnsupportedValueError: Value is unsupported. ===> Parameter cConvID
I tried googling forvthat error, but could not find a solution. Please help.
I am trying to do a proof of concept to my client saying that Adobe acrobat could help them convert PDF to TIFF and Tiff to PDF and they are ready to buy the product if I prove that in the .Net environment.

lowercase 's' in saveAs().

Please read the documentation in the Acrobat SDK...

Try this:

JSObj.saveAs(fullPathTIF, "com.adobe.Acrobat.tiff")

Hi I tried with the lowercase 's' in saveAs(),
I am still getting the same error
'UnsupportedValueError: Value is unsupported. ===> Parameter cConvID.'
Wierd thing is I am not getting the 'saveAs()' method as an option for the JSObj at all I am just forcibily typing it. May be, do you guys think I am missing any reference. I have a project reference for the Acrobat 9 com component (Component Name: Acrobat Typelib version 1.0, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.tlb
Please help.
My exact code is:
Dim JSObj As Object, strPDFText As String
' Create Acrobat Application object
PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
' Create Acrobat Document object
PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
' Open PDF file
PDDoc.Open("D:\Applications\Test_winapp\PDFUtility \WindowsApplication1\WindowsApplication1\sample.pd f") ' Path of some PDF you want to open
' Hide Acrobat application so everything is done in silent mode
PDFApp.Hide()
' Create Javascript bridge object
JSObj = PDDoc.GetJSObject()
' Create Tiff file
JSObj.saveAs("D:/Applications/sample.tiff", "com.adobe.Acrobat.tiff")
PDDoc.Close()
PDFApp.CloseAllDocs()
' Clean up
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject(JSObj)
JSObj = Nothing
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject(PDFApp)
PDFApp = Nothing
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject(PDDoc)
PDDoc = Nothing

In Acrobat 9 you must use "com.adobe.acrobat.tiff" for parameter cConvID.

[Hasan_Ali@adobeforums.com]

Thanks a lot Bernd. That works.

[Hasan_Ali@adobeforums.com]

Is there a way to create a single Tiff file to hold multiple pages from the multi paged PDF. Current solution creates multiple tiff files for one pdf that has more than one page.

[Bernd Alheit]

Look for a third-party tool for converting the tiff files into a multi-page tiff file.

[Hasan_Ali@adobeforums.com]

Ok. Does Acrobat support Tiff to PDF conversion.If so please let me know the COM reference I should use.

[PDL@adobeforums.com]

There is a sample project to do this that comes with the SDK, called AdobePDFSilentVB.
