tiff

My stomach churns when I see this kind of output. http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/e1097a5a10.jpg and this was my command as suggested by Best way to convert pdf files to tiff files gswin32c.exe -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -sOutputFile=a.tif a.pdf -c quit What am I doing wrong? (commercial products will not be considered) tiffg4 is a black&white output device. You should use tiff24nc or tiff12nc as the output device colour PDFs - see ghostscript output devices . These will be uncompressed but you could put the resulting TIFFs through imagemagick or similar to resave as compressed TIFF.

Is it possible to create a tiff file from a postscript-file (created from a pdf-document with readable text and images) into a tiff file without the images and only the text? Like add a maxbuffer so images will be removed and only text remaining? And if boxes and lines around text could be removed as well that would be awesome. Best regards! KenS You can redefine the various 'image' operators so that they don't do anything: /image { type /dicttype eq not { % uses up argument, only one if dict form pop pop pop pop % remove the arguments for the non-dictionary form. } ifelse } bind def

Creating tiff file, with LZW compression (default):- System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(800, 1000); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap); g.DrawString("Name: " + Name.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 20)); g.DrawString("Date Of Birth: " + Date_Of_Birth.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 40)); g.DrawString("Address: " + Address.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 60)); g.DrawString("City: " + City.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 80)); g.DrawString("State: " + State.Text, outputFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(0, 100));
