Hello all,
I'm using 12.1 (soon to upgrade to .NET version).
I use code to create a multi page tiff as follows.
(In TwainPage event)
'if the current multipage file doesnt exist
If Not FileExists(Me.MultiPageFileName) Then
m_objTWAIN.Save Me.MultiPageFileName, FILE_TIFLZW, 0, 0, SAVE_OVERWRITE
'otherwise the file exists.
Else
'append the bitmap to the file
m_objTWAIN.Save Me.MultiPageFileName, FILE_TIFLZW, 0, 0, SAVE_APPEND
end if
The code above creates the multi page tiff perfectly... I can view it in windows viewer and everything, however
if I try to modify a page in the tiff and resave, the file size jumps... with every save.. no matter what page I add..
m_objLEADControl.Load Me.Path, 0, 1, -1
m_objLEADControl.SavePage = 1
m_objLEADControl.Save Me.Path, FILE_TIFLZW, 0, 0, SAVE_REPLACE
This code makes the tiff file size jump every time though I can still view the image in the windows viewer. Can someone give me any clue as to what may be going wrong?
Replacing a page with the same page should not increase the file size over and over again.
Thanks in advance to all replies.
Bryan James.

Bryan,
When you delete or replace a page from a TIFF file, the standard behavior is to mark the page as deleted in the file without removing the space used by it. This means the file is not 'compacted' during Delete or Replace operations.
What you could do is to load only the pages you want to stay in the file and save them to a temporary file name. When you're finished putting all the needed pages in the temporary file, delete the original and rename the temporary with its name.
In particular, Raster Imaging Pro and above toolkits contain a new function in LEADTOOLS 14.5 and later called CompactFile, which can automatically take a partial set of pages from one file and put them in a different file (new or existing) without changing their contents.
If you would like considering upgrading to the latest version, I recommend downloading the free evaluation edition and trying it.

Hi,
We've purchased 14.5 with support and I like the new functionality.
Could you point me to an example of the CompactFile functionality?
Thanks

I found the solution on my own and figured I'd share..
I have a method that encapsulates the LEAD Save functionality
Here is the new code
'if the temporary tiff file exists
If FileExists(Filename & "." & dvAnnotationExtension & "." & "tmp") Then
'get red of it
DeleteFile (Filename & "." & dvAnnotationExtension & "." & "tmp")
End If
Dim RasterIO As New LeadRasterIO
Dim nRet As Integer
' This example will compact all the pages in a TIFF file. It will create a new file called dstfile.tif
nRet = RasterIO.CompactFile(Filename, Filename & "." & dvAnnotationExtension & "." & "tmp", 0, 0, -1, SAVE_OVERWRITE, 0)
If nRet <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Error compacting file!"
Else
Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject
Set objFSO = New FileSystemObject
DeleteFile Filename
objFSO.MoveFile Filename & "." & dvAnnotationExtension & "." & "tmp", Filename
Set objFSO = Nothing
End If
'LEAD.Save fileName, intFileFormat, 0, intQuality, SAVE_REPLACE
Set RasterIO = Nothing
