I have some tif files with multiple pages that I would like to convert to a single long page. i.e. a file including two pages that are each 8.5x11 would be converted to a resulting file of size 8.5x22. Is there any way to remove the page breaks?
I am not asking how to convert multiple files into a single file.
I have solved this. A good chunk of the following code comes from Scott Hanselman on this page.
This C# function takes a filename for the source image and a save location for its tiff output:
public static void RemovePageBreaks(string fileInput, string fileOutput)
{
using (Image image = Image.FromFile(fileInput))
using (MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream())
{
int width = image.Width;
int height = 0;
int pageCount = image.GetFrameCount(FrameDimension.Page);
height = image.Height * pageCount;
int pasteFrom = 0;
using (Bitmap compositeImage = new Bitmap(width, height))
using (Graphics compositeGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(compositeImage))
{
compositeGraphics.CompositingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingMode.SourceCopy;
for (int page = 0; page < pageCount; page++)
{
image.SelectActiveFrame(FrameDimension.Page, page);
image.Save(m, image.RawFormat);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, pasteFrom, image.Width, image.Height);
compositeGraphics.DrawImageUnscaledAndClipped(image, rect);
pasteFrom += image.Height;
}
compositeImage.Save(fileOutput, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);
}
}
}
