Convert Multiple Images to PDF using iTextSharp?

honar abubakr

Hello friends, in my small project i have a button for converting more than one image file to pdf, i made some search in google and found some articles about that i found one that helps me to do that but convert only two images to pdf, and i want to make it unspecified number of image to pdf

this is my code:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sMergedFiles = @"C:\PDFTest\PdfReport.PDF";\\pdf file path

string sTiffFiles = "C:\\PDFTest\\TiffFiles\\";\\Tiff image files path

Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 50, 50);

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(sMergedFiles, FileMode.CreateNew));

document.Open();

//here you can loop thru and call AddTiff2Pdf for multiple files

string tiffFileName = Path.Combine(sTiffFiles, "asdf.tif");\\first tiff image

AddTiff2Pdf(tiffFileName, ref writer, ref document);

tiffFileName = Path.Combine(sTiffFiles, "1234.tif");\\second tiff image

AddTiff2Pdf(tiffFileName, ref writer, ref document);

document.Close();
}
private void AddTiff2Pdf(string tiffFileName, ref PdfWriter writer, ref Document document)
{

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(tiffFileName);

int numberOfPages = bitmap.GetFrameCount(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page);

PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;

for (int page = 0; page < numberOfPages; page++)
{

bitmap.SelectActiveFrame(System.Drawing.Imaging.FrameDimension.Page, page);

System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();

bitmap.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

iTextSharp.text.Image img = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(stream.ToArray());

stream.Close();

img.ScalePercent(72f / bitmap.HorizontalResolution * 100);

img.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0);

cb.AddImage(img);

document.NewPage();
}
}

can anyone help me please? how to do that

The following discussion explains how to create multi-page PDF from TIFF images:

Another option is to use LEAD TOOLS as shown in this example:

Not clear about how to achieve this with iTextSharp, but I found an example on google, check the article and sample code here - Convert Multiple Image to PDF in C# Hope this helps.

try like this
class Program

{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Document document = new Document();
        using (var stream = new FileStream("test.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
        {
            PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, stream);
            document.Open();
            using (var imageStream = new FileStream("test.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
            {
                var image = Image.GetInstance(imageStream);
                document.Add(image);
            }
            document.Close();
        }
    }
}
