Importing Necessary Namespaces

Start by importing the required namespaces in your C# project. Add the following using directives at the top of your code file:

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Saving;

Step 1: Define Your Document Directory

Let’s specify the directory where your Word document is stored and where the TIFF files will be saved:

// Define the path to your document directory
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Step 2: Load Your Word Document

Next, we will load the Word document you want to convert. This document will serve as the source for extracting specified pages.

// Load the document
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.docx");

Step 3: Save the Entire Document as a TIFF

To get a feel for how the conversion works, let’s save the entire document as a TIFF file first.

// Save the entire document as a multipage TIFF
doc.Save(dataDir + "FullDocumentAsMultipageTiff.tiff");

Step 4: Configure Image Save Options

Now comes the exciting part: setting up the ImageSaveOptions. Here, you can specify the page range and other properties for the TIFF conversion.

// Create ImageSaveOptions with specific settings
ImageSaveOptions saveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Tiff)
{
    PageSet = new PageSet(new PageRange(0, 1)), // Specify the page range (zero-based)
    TiffCompression = TiffCompression.Ccitt4, // Set the desired TIFF compression
    Resolution = 160 // Set the desired resolution
};

Step 5: Save the Selected Page Range as a TIFF

Finally, let’s save the specified page range of the document into a TIFF file using the configured saveOptions.

// Save the specified page range as a TIFF
doc.Save(dataDir + "SelectedPageRangeAsTiff.tiff", saveOptions);
