Syntax

bool PDFDocumentToImage ()

Parameters

None.

Returns

True if the file is successfully converted to a TIFF document.

Details

If the current page is a PDF, the file will be converted to multiple TIFF files, one TIFF file for each page within the document.

Each new TIFF also has a new page created within the application environment which can be processed by subsequent rules. The original file name from which the page was extracted is stored in the ParentImage variable, for possible future reference within your application.

Example:

PDFBitDepth(1)
PDFDocumentToImage()

Restriction: This Pdf action does not support Unicode characters in the file name or file path. If your content uses Unicode characters in the file names or file paths, use the PdfFRE action instead.

Tip: When using non-native system fonts, use the PdfFRE class instead of Pdf.
