Hi Anish,

Thanks for using our products.

I have tested the conversion with Aspose.Pdf for .NET 7.7.0 while using the code snippet which you have shared and I am able to reproduce the problem that formatting of resultant TIFF is not correct (Unable to read text in resultant file). However during my testing I have observed that the problem is occurring due to value of CompressionType that you are using. Please note that in order to correct output image, please try using LZW value from CompressionType. The size of resultant image is increased but the formatting of resultant file is correct.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

[C#]

Document pdfDocument = new Document(“c:/pdftest/MSGFile.pdf”);<o:p></o:p>

//create Resolution object

Resolution resolution = new Resolution(300);

//create TiffSettings object

TiffSettings tiffSettings = new TiffSettings();

tiffSettings.Compression = CompressionType.LZW;

tiffSettings.Depth = Aspose.Pdf.Devices.ColorDepth.Default;

if (tiffSettings.Shape == ShapeType.Landscape)

tiffSettings.Shape = ShapeType.Portait;

tiffSettings.SkipBlankPages = false;

//create TIFF device

TiffDevice tiffDevice = new TiffDevice(resolution, tiffSettings);

//convert a particular page and save the image to stream

tiffDevice.Process(pdfDocument, "c:/pdftest/PDF_TIFF_output.tif");
