PDF to TIFF processing speed is too slow

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello, I am using Aspose.PDF to convert and save pages of a PDF file to TIFF format. On the example of the attached file PdfSample.pdf (1.5 MB), saving one page takes from 10 to 40 seconds - this is the time during which the tiffDevice.Process () command is executed. In general, the entire document with 22 pages takes 5-10 minutes - this is very long.
How can I speed up the conversion and saving of the page image? Aspose version: 21.1. Language - C#

    public static void ToTiff(string input, string output)
    {
        Aspose.Pdf.License license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
        // Set license
        license.SetLicense(AsposeLicense);
        // Open document
        Aspose.Pdf.Document pdfDocument = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(input);

        // Create Resolution object
        Resolution resolution = new Resolution(300);

        // Create TiffSettings object
        TiffSettings tiffSettings = new TiffSettings();
        tiffSettings.Compression = CompressionType.CCITT4;
        tiffSettings.Depth = ColorDepth.Default;

        tiffSettings.Shape = ShapeType.Portrait;
        tiffSettings.SkipBlankPages = false;
        
        // Create TIFF device
        TiffDevice tiffDevice = new TiffDevice(resolution, tiffSettings);

        // Convert a particular page and save the image to stream
        for (int i = 1; i <= pdfDocument.Pages.Count(); i++)
        {
            var savePath = $"{outputFileName}_{i}" + ".tif";
            tiffDevice.Process(pdfDocument, i, i, savePath);
        }
    }

We tested the scenario in our environment by converting your PDF document into TIFF on page level as well as the whole document at once. We were able to notice that API was taking long time for conversion. Therefore, we have logged an issue as PDFNET-49287 in our issue tracking system for the sake of further analysis. We will look into its details and let you know as soon as the ticket is resolved. Please be patient and spare us some time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

go grab a book (and then other, and other)… I had to wait a few years before a bug I reported was fixed, and it was a very annoying bug.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as PDFNET-49287) have been fixed in Aspose.PDF for .NET 23.9.

I’m using com.aspose → aspose.pdf version 23.3 for Java and facing with too much slow processing to PDF to TIFF.
Does previous mentioned fix is only for .NET or it is also for Java?

Every fix in .NET API becomes part of equivalent version of Java API. Earlier provided fix is available in 23.9 version of Aspose.PDF for Java also. We recommend that you use 24.1 version of the API and let us know in case you still face any issues.
