Re: Simple fax editor (TIFF)

Hello,
 We need to add to our application a simple fax (tiff) editing possibilities.
Like add/remove pages, crop, erase some text  and type new one.
Is it possible to develop such application using your products.
Could you pls point me to the right direction from where to start.

Thanks
 

Which LEADTOOLS version (14, 15, 16, etc.) and programming interface (Main OCX, .NET classes, DLL API, C++ Classes, etc.) are you going to use?

LEADTOOLS provides adding/removing pages from a TIF file. It also supports cropping images.

About erasing and typing text, do you mean you want to convert the image to a searchable text file such as PDF? If yes, you will need LEADTOOLS OCR Module with LEADTOOLS Document Imaging.

You can download the free Eval edition of LEADTOOLS from our website and try our demos and sample codes in our help files.

We are using LEADTOOLS version 15 and programming interface .net.
But we are going to update to latest version.
What we need:  We need a WinForms fax(tiff) editor, in which use could edit faxes (tiff) .
With rich user interface like select area to crop, erase using mouse.
About erasing and typing text - no needs to convert to searchable text. The output of user edit actions has to be also a tiff file.

You will need to load the image into a RasterImageViewer. Please see this page:
http://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v15/DH/WI/Leadtools.WinForms~Leadtools.WinForms.RasterImageViewer.html

You can also crop the image using mouse events and CropCommand Class:
http://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v15/dh/l/leadtools~leadtools.imageprocessing.cropcommand.html

If you don't want to convert the image to text, erasing text from the image will be using CropCommand. To type text, you will need to convert the image to GDI+ image and then use Graphics.DrawString().

Thanks.
Is there any example from which to start?

You can start with a new VS .NET project and the following steps:
1. Add LEADTOOLS RasterImageViewer to you project.
2. Add the A code to load the TIFF image:
RasterCodecs codecs = New RasterCodecs();
RasterImageViewer.Image = codecs.Load("ImageLocation");
3. Add a code to crop the image. You can find a sample code in the help file:
http://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v15/dh/l/leadtools~leadtools.imageprocessing.cropcommand.html

Please try to implement the above features first. You can use the .NET help file for more sample codes. If you face any problems, let us know and we'll try to help you.
