Convert All Pages of a PDF File to TIFF
The following steps show you how to convert all pages of a PDF file to a TIFF file.
- Create a PdfDocument instance.
- Load a PDF sample document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Save all pages of the document to a TIFF file using PdfDocument.saveToTiff(String tiffFilename) method.
- Java
import com.spire.compression.TiffCompressionTypes;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
public class PDFToTIFF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a PDF sample document
pdf.loadFromFile("sample.pdf");
//Save all pages of the document to Tiff
pdf.saveToTiff("output/PDFtoTiff.tiff");
}
}
Convert Some Specified Pages of a PDF File to TIFF
The following steps are to convert specified pages of a PDF document to a TIFF file.
- Create a PdfDocument instance.
- Load a PDF sample document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Save specified pages of the document to a TIFF file using PdfDocument.saveToTiff(String tiffFilename, int startPage, int endPage, int dpix, int dpiy) method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
public class PDFToTIFF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a PDF sample document
pdf.loadFromFile("sample.pdf");
//Save specified pages of the document to TIFF and set horizontal and vertical resolution
pdf.saveToTiff("output/ToTiff2.tiff",0,1,400,600);
}
}

Convert TIFF to PDF in Java
The following are the steps to convert a TIFF file to PDF:
- Create an instance of PdfDocument class.
- Add a page to the PDF using PdfDocument.getPages().add() method.
- Create a PdfImage object from the TIFF image using PdfImage.fromFile() method.
- Draw the image onto the page using PdfPageBase.getCanvas().drawImage() method.
- Save the result file using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.FileFormat;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageBase;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.PdfImage;
public class ConvertTiffToPdf {
public static void main(String[] args){
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page
PdfPageBase page = doc.getPages().add();
//Create a PdfImage object from the TIFF image
PdfImage tiff = PdfImage.fromFile("Input.tiff");
//Draw the image to the page
page.getCanvas().drawImage(tiff, 20, 0, 450, 450);
//Save the result file
doc.saveToFile("TiffToPdf.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
}
}

Create a Two-Column PDF from Scratch
The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a PdfDocument object.
- Add a new page in the PDF using PdfDocument.getPages().add() method.
- Add a line and set its format in the PDF using PdfPageBase.getCanvas().drawLine() method.
- Add text in the PDF at two separate rectangle areas using PdfPageBase.getCanvas().drawString() method.
- Save the document to PDF using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java

//Add a new page
PdfPageBase page = doc.getPages().add();
//Set location and width
float x = 0;
float y = 15;
float width = 600;
//Create pen
PdfPen pen = new PdfPen(new PdfRGBColor(Color.black), 1f);
//Draw line on the PDF page
page.getCanvas().drawLine(pen, x, y, x + width, y);
//Define paragraph text
