Convert TIFF to PDF in Java

The following are the steps to convert a TIFF file to PDF:

• Create an instance of PdfDocument class.
• Add a page to the PDF using PdfDocument.getPages().add() method.
• Create a PdfImage object from the TIFF image using PdfImage.fromFile() method.
• Draw the image onto the page using PdfPageBase.getCanvas().drawImage() method.
• Save the result file using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.

import com.spire.pdf.FileFormat;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageBase;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.PdfImage;

public class ConvertTiffToPdf {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        //Create a PdfDocument instance
        PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
        //Add a page
        PdfPageBase page = doc.getPages().add();
        
        //Create a PdfImage object from the TIFF image
        PdfImage tiff = PdfImage.fromFile("Input.tiff");
        //Draw the image to the page
        page.getCanvas().drawImage(tiff, 20, 0, 450, 450);
        
        //Save the result file
        doc.saveToFile("TiffToPdf.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
    }
}
