How to convert word to tiff using C#, VB.NET

3 mins read

Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, and edit Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can convert Word to TIFF in C# and VB.NET.

Steps to convert Word to TIFF using C#:

Create a new C# console application project.
Install Syncfusion.DocIO.WinForms NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Framework applications from the NuGet.org.
Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file.

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;

Imports Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS

Use the following code to convert Word to TIFF.

// Loads an existing Word document.
WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument("Template.docx");
// Converts Word document to image
Image[] images = wordDocument.RenderAsImages(ImageType.Bitmap);
// Closes the Word document instance.
wordDocument.Close();
 
#region Tiff conversion
ImageCodecInfo encoderInfo = GetEncoderInfo("image/tiff");
// Initialize EncoderParameter that contain specified number of Encoderparameter objects
EncoderParameters encoderParams = new EncoderParameters(2);
// Initialize EncoderParameter
EncoderParameter parameter = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.Compression, (long)EncoderValue.CompressionNone);
encoderParams.Param[0] = parameter;
// Initializes the new instance for EncoderParameter.
parameter = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.SaveFlag, (long)EncoderValue.MultiFrame);
encoderParams.Param[1] = parameter;
Image tiff = null;
for (int i = 0; i < images.Length; i++)
{
    if (i == 0)
    {
        tiff = images[i];
        // Saves the TIFF image into the local disk.
        tiff.Save("..//..//Output//WordToTiff.tiff", encoderInfo, encoderParams);
    }
    else
    {
        Image image = images[i];
        // Initializes the new instance for EncoderParameter.
        parameter = new EncoderParameter(Encoder.SaveFlag, (long)EncoderValue.FrameDimensionPage);
        encoderParams.Param[1] = parameter;
        // Adds the subsequent image to save into the local disk.
        tiff.SaveAdd(image, encoderParams);
    }
}
#endregion

' Loads an existing Word document.
Dim wordDocument As WordDocument = New WordDocument("..\..\Template.docx")
' Converts Word document to image
Dim images As Image() = wordDocument.RenderAsImages(ImageType.Bitmap)
' Closes the Word document instance.
wordDocument.Close()
Dim encoderInfo As ImageCodecInfo = GetEncoderInfo("image/tiff")
' Initialize EncoderParameters that contain specified number of EncoderParameter objects
Dim encoderParams As EncoderParameters = New EncoderParameters(2)
' Initialize EncoderParameter
Dim parameter As EncoderParameter = New EncoderParameter(Encoder.Compression, CLng(EncoderValue.CompressionNone))

parameter = New EncoderParameter(Encoder.SaveFlag, CLng(EncoderValue.MultiFrame))
encoderParams.Param(1) = parameter
Dim tiff As Image = Nothing
For i = 0 To images.Length - 1
    If i = 0 Then
        tiff = images(i)
        ' Saves the TIFF image into the local disk.
        tiff.Save("..\..\Output\WordToTiff-1.tiff", encoderInfo, encoderParams)
    Else
        Dim image As Image = images(i)
        ' Initializes the new instance for EncoderParameter.
        parameter = New EncoderParameter(Encoder.SaveFlag, CLng(EncoderValue.FrameDimensionPage))
        encoderParams.Param(1) = parameter
        ' Adds the subsequent image to save into the local disk.
        tiff.SaveAdd(image, encoderParams)
    End If
Next

Include the following helper method.

private static ImageCodecInfo GetEncoderInfo(String mimeType)
{
    ImageCodecInfo[] encoders = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
    foreach (ImageCodecInfo imageCodecInfo in encoders)
    {
        if (imageCodecInfo.MimeType == mimeType)
            return imageCodecInfo;
    }
    return null;
}

Private Shared Function GetEncoderInfo(ByVal mimeType As String) As ImageCodecInfo
    Dim encoders As ImageCodecInfo() = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()
 
    For Each imageCodecInfo As ImageCodecInfo In encoders
        If imageCodecInfo.MimeType = mimeType Then Return imageCodecInfo
    Next
 
    Return Nothing
End Function
