    Resolved [RESOLVED] Creating a PDF from a bunch of images

    Hi, I'm new to these forums (and VB.Net for that matter) so please excuse me if this is posted in the wrong spot.

    I'm attempting to create a small program that can parse a zip file of images and add them to one big ol' PDF file. I found some code online to take care of the ZIPing functions but i'm having a little probloem attempting to add all the images i've extracted to a PDF file. Has anyone ever worked with any Adobe Acrobat APIs? I've been searching google and all I end up with is third party APIs that have absolutely no documentation and make no sense whatsoever.

    I would be really apreciative if someone could point me in the right direction, thanks.

    There's a link to a free PDF creation component in my signature. Haven't used it myself so I can't say much more than that. It might be a help, maybe not.

    Thanks for heading me in the right direction after an hour of playing around I finally got it to do what I want. Now I just need to figure out how to convert a TIFF file with multiple images in it into multiple JPEGs.

    How does the TIFF file have multiple images? Are they separated in programmticaly way? Like in filmstrip or something? Or is just a grid of images and your program would need to find the edges of each image and cut then into separate JPEGs?
