Hi

I have 3.6M single frame TIF files which I need to merge into PDFs, typically around 10 pages per PDF.

I can do this using ImageenMView e.g.

for i := 0 to slFiles.count -1 do
begin
ImageEnMView1.MIO.LoadFromFileTIFF(slFiles[i]);
ImageEnMView1.MIO.Params[i].PDF_Compression := ioPDF_JPEG;
end;
ImageEnMView1.MIO.SaveToFilePDF(destfile);

It works but seems slow, can anybody suggest a quicker way?

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave

You can also do it non-visually. See:

http://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnIO.SaveToPDF.html

And also the PDFBuilder demo which is under \Demos\InputOutput\

Hi Nigel

Thanks for that.

I can't try this out until tomorrow but in what way is

Will give it a whirl in the morning and report back,

Cheers

Hi Nigel

OK, I tried that but it's only marginally quicker ~10%

I've estimated 10 days processing time for 3.6M files but we can probably run multiple instances of the app and get that down to a couple of days. It's a one-off task so I'm not that bothered, they'll just have to wait..

Thanks for your help.
Dave
