Converting file formats (PDF to TIFF?)

Question

Hi guys an easy one here,

What are some of the better converts out there which work well and what are the drawbacks of doing a conversions if any? Loss of quality/res/anything?

Answer 1

see here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3492129

Only drawback, if it is one, is that you need to install ghostscript. Also, once in a while gs can't parse a file that adobe can.

Answer 2

There are no open source .net libraries that can do that. Either use ghostscript or imagick (.net wrapper) for the conversion. Ghostscript gives you better quality than imagick.

I believe that abcpdf can do that, but it's a commerical component.
