Find number of pages in a tif file from a .net application

Question

Hi We are working on a project where we need to identify the number of pages in a tif/pdf file from our .net application. Please let me know how to proceed in this regard. One way to proceed is to use some third party tools for this purpose for for this project we will not be able to use any external tools. Thanks in advance RS

As far as the multipage tif goes; you can do something like this to get the page count and to retrieve a single image: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Imaging; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; namespace MultiPageTiff { public class MultipageTiff { public int GetNumberOfPages( string sFileName) { //setup the image Image img = Image .FromFile(sFileName); //get its guid Guid ID = img.FrameDimensionsList[0]; //get the frame dimensions FrameDimension fd = new FrameDimension (ID); //Gets number of pages return img.GetFrameCount(fd); } public Image GetSpecificPage( string sFileName int iPageNumber) { Image img = Image .FromFile(sFileName); MemoryStream ms = null ; Image returnImage = Image .FromFile(sFileName); try { ms = new MemoryStream (); Guid ID = img.FrameDimensionsList[0]; FrameDimension fd = new FrameDimension (ID); img.SelectActiveFrame(fd iPageNumber); img.Save(ms ImageFormat .Bmp); returnImage = Image .FromStream(ms); return returnImage; } catch ( Exception ex) { MessageBox .Show(ex.Message.ToString() Error ); return null ; } finally { ms.Close(); } } }
