PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

My goal is to convert PDF to Multipage TIff and other formats, so what would be key steps to draw image of PDFPage to a System.Drawing.Bitmap object?

Should i load PDFPage with PdfReader first and render it with MigraDoc.Rendering.Forms.DocumentPreview to a XGraphics object but then what?
Is there a way of drawing/coping XGraphics to a final Bitmap?

Perhaps you can point at URL with a sample or a description document.
Plus is there a help/description file for PDFSharp and MigraDoc classes.

Thanks,
K

Oh i see
so i would have to work with PdfSharp.Ghostscript classes.
can you provide a short code sample on the subject?

Plus does "empira Software GmbH " provide payable tech support ?
case by case on perhaps subscription based.

Thanks again.

Oops, never mind
Looks like a source code of your PdfSharp.Ghostscript is a good example on how to convert pdf to an Image object.

Thanks again!

Guys,

I have found the GhostScript source code. But it just show how to convert PdfDocument to image, I want to convert PdfPage to image, is anyone can help me?

If I create a new pdfDocument and add the existing pdfPage, it will throw InvalidOperationException("A PDF document must be opened with PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import to import pages from it.")

Thanks
James

The answer is:
A PDF document must be opened with PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import to import pages from it.

Thomas,

Is there any other way to convert PdfPage to bitmap rather than GhostScript?

You locked my previous post. But this is not a good way because the ghostscript save every time a copy of pdf file on HDD in background. But in my case I have a webapp and can be thousands of clients in the same time and will be a very hard load on HDD. Is an other way to do it?
