Cut a Multipage TIFF File

Q:  How can I cut a large multipage TIFF file into single page TIFF files?

A:  If you have a multipage TIFF file you can easily cut into single page files. The TIFF file should be maximum 24 bit per pixel image. The BITIFF.DLL contains a CutTiffFile function that solves this problem. So you can decrease the size of the image. See the description of the function.

Code example:

     #include “BiTiff.h”

     …

     char szSourceFile[MAX_PATH], szNewFile[MAX_PATH];

     int    iPage;

     BOOL bOK;

     strcpy(szSourceFile, “c:\\cutImg.tif”);

     strcpy(szNewFile, “c:\\cutImg.tif”);

     iPage = 2;

     //split the file

     BeginWaitCursor();

     bOK = CutTiffFile(szSourceFile, szNewFile, iPage, NULL, NULL); (szSourceFile, szNewFile,

     iPage, NULL, NULL);

     EndWaitCursor();

     if (bOK)

     {

            pDoc->OnOpenDocument(pDoc->szTiffFileName);

     }

     else

            AfxMessageBox("There was an error during the split.", _OK|MB_ICONERROR, NULL);
