.txt to .tif conversion 1

[drost]

I need to convert a .txt file to a .tif format. I have Adobe Acrobat and can open a .txt file and save it as a .tif, but haven't been able to do it in code.

I don't need to do this with Acrobat, so if someone knows of a way to covert the file other that Acrobat, it would be very helpful.

Thanks,

drost

Why would you convert txt to tif?? Tif is an image format...Unless you mean as an ASCII Art to Image conversion? Rob

I need to convert a .txt to a .tif in order to import it into our imaging system. Our system will only take .tif images.

Yes, it's possible.

You should have either Wang or Kodak imaging installed on your PC. If not go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add Remove programs/Windows Setup, select Accesories and check Imaging.

Ok, now in your VB project add Kodak (or Wang) Image Edit Control.

Drop one of these onto a form, add a command button, and then play with this demo code:

[tt]
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim annoFont As Font

ImgEdit1.DisplayBlankImage ImgEdit1.Width, ImgEdit1.Height
ImgEdit1.ConvertPageType 1 ' black-and-white

ImgEdit1.AnnotationType = wiTextFromFile
Set annoFont = ImgEdit1.AnnotationFont
With annoFont
.Size = 8
End With
ImgEdit1.AnnotationTextFile = &quot;<source_text_file>&quot;
ImgEdit1.Draw 0, 0
ImgEdit1.SavePage &quot;<destination_tif_file>&quot;, 1, 1
End Sub
[/tt]

This was helpful, thanks strongm.

Does anyone know how to do it with Acrobat?
