Tiff to pdf Issue -> file size increasing drastically

Aspose.Imaging Product Family
1

I am using Aspose.Imaging for tiff to pdf file conversion but after conversion file size increases drastically. Currently we are using Active pdf and trying to replace with Aspose. If we can’t resolve this then it will be difficult to move with aspose.

Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Tiff.TiffImage tiffImage = null;
tiffImage = (Aspose.Imaging.FileFormats.Tiff.TiffImage)Aspose.Imaging.Image.Load(inputPath);
if (tiffImage == null)
throw new Exception("Cannot load file - " + inputPath);

Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PdfOptions pdfOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PdfOptions()
{
ResolutionSettings = new Aspose.Imaging.ResolutionSetting(
tiffImage.HorizontalResolution,
tiffImage.VerticalResolution)
};
tiffImage.Save(outputPDF, pdfOptions);

Please find the attached zip folder which contains tiff and converted pdf file. Converted pdf size is 9 time larger than original file size,

Hello, @njjudiciary,
if you want to decrease the output PDF size, you should try to specify compression options when exporting. For example,

        using (var image = Image.Load(@"input.tiff"))
        {
            var pdfOptions = new PdfOptions()
            {
                PdfCoreOptions = new PdfCoreOptions()
                {
                    // setting compression options
                    Compression = PdfImageCompressionOptions.Ccitt4,
                }
            };
            image.Save(@"output.pdf", pdfOptions);
        }

Hope this helps!
