Generally, the conversion from PDF to TIF or PNG is quite satisfactory.

I encountered a problem with one pdf file. It is a complex map with text and image overlays.
The attached pdf is displayed correctly in the syncfusion pdf viewer

However, when converted to tif or png using code such as the one posted here
https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/9112/how-to-convert-pdf-to-png
the resulting tif or png is quite different

Hi Alain, 
The reported issue is resolved while exporting the PDF pages as images by using the PdfViewercontrol with Pdfium rendering engine. 
Please find the below code snippet to export the PDF pages as images using PdfViewerControl with Pdfium rendering engine. From the essential studio version 16.3.0.21, the default rendering engine of PdfViewerControl is Pdfium. So, there is no need to set the rendering engine of PdfViewercontrol as Pdfium in sample level. 
PdfViewerControl pdfViewer = new PdfViewerControl(); 
pdfViewer.Load(@"ErrDisplay.pdf"); 
Bitmap image = pdfViewer.ExportAsImage(0); 
image.Save("Image.png", ImageFormat.Png); 

Please find the UG documentation link for exporting the PDF document as images using PdfViewerControl.

Regards, 
Karthikeyan

Thanks, this is better.

However, this is a bit confusing.
I understand the PDFViewerControl is using the pdfium rendering engine.
But it is not the case for PDFLoadedDocument ?

Hi Alain, 
We use Pdfium only for rendering PDF document in our PDF Viewer, and we do not use is in PdfLoadedDocument. Please let us know if you need any further assistance in this.

Well, there is still a problem.
The viewer does not release the displayed file completely, I can't delete it.
So the following triggers an exception.

PdfViewerControl pdfViewer = new PdfViewerControl(); 
pdfViewer.Load(@"ErrDisplay.pdf"); 
pdfViewer.Dispose();

try
{
     IO.file.Delete(@"ErrDisplay.pdf")
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
     Debug.Print(ex.message);
}


However, if I use
pdfViewer.RenderingEngine = PdfRenderingEngine.SfPdf
there is no such problem.
there is no problem.

I have installed the latest
Version : 16.3.0.29 (Service Pack)
Released on : Oct 30, 2018

Other issues I had seems OK now.

However this issue is still there. 
using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.PdfViewer;
PdfViewerControl pdfViewer = new PdfViewerControl(); 
pdfViewer.Load(@"ErrDisplay.pdf"); 
pdfViewer.Dispose();

try
{
     IO.file.Delete(@"ErrDisplay.pdf")
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
     Debug.Print(ex.message);
}

Hi Alian, 
 
We were unable to reproduce the issue. Here we could load and dispose the document properly. I have attached the sample and video for your reference. Can you please modify the sample to replicate the issue? It will be helpful for us to analyze further and provide better solution.

Thanks, I tried your code snippet and it worked fine.


However, in your example

instead of
control.Load(@"D:\HTTP Succinctly.pdf");

use the following
control.Load(@"D:\HTTP Succinctly.pdf","");

This should trigger the exception.


Also, I tried with a pdf AES 256 rev B encrypted with the password X12345
and I used the following
control.Load(@"D:\HTTP Succinctly Encrypted X.pdf","X12345");

Should also trigger the exception, even if we provide a valid owner password !

Hi Alain,  
  
We are afraid that we are unable to reproduce the exception while loading the encrypted PDF document in our PDF viewer control Windows Forms platform. We suspect that the issue occurred with specific to the PDF document you are using in your end. So, we request you to provide the PDF document with which the issue could be reproduced.  
  
Note: If you have any confidential data in your PDF document, please replace with some dummy data and provide us the same. We just need your document to recreate the problem you face.  
  
Regards, 
Dilli babu.

Hi, I don't believe it depends of the pdf

In the zip file, you will find pdftest.pdf 

using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.PdfViewer;
PdfViewerControl pdfViewer = new PdfViewerControl(); 

//pdfViewer.Load(@"pdftest.pdf");  //this is not raising an exception
pdfViewer.Load(@"pdftest.pdf","");  //when providing an empty password, it will raise the exception
//pdfViewer.Load(@"pdftest.pdf","alain");  //alain is the admin password, it will also raise the exception

try
{
     IO.file.Delete(@"pdftest.pdf");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
     Debug.Print(ex.message);
}

Hi Alain,   
 
Thank you for your update. 
   
Still we could not reproduce the exception while loading the encrypted PDF document in our PDF viewer control Windows Forms platform. Also we have created a simple sample to reproduce the reported exception with the PDF document attached by you in your previous update.  Can you please modify the sample to replicate the issue? It will be helpful for us to analyze further and provide better solution.  
 
 
Please let me know if you have any concern. 
 
Thanks,

In form1.cs, use this instead

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

pdfViewerControl1.Load("../../Data/pdftest.pdf", "alain");

pdfViewerControl1.Dispose(); //This is supposed to clear all resources used by the viewer.

System.IO.File.Delete("../../Data/pdftest.pdf"); //<--- This is raising an exception, the file pdfviewer.pdf is "used by another process"

}
