    ByVal JpegQuality As Integer
) As GdPictureStatus

Parameters

Parameters	Description
ImageID	GdPicture Image Identifier. The GdPicture image to store as the first page of the multipage tiff file. Do not release this image before ending the multipage tiff file with the TiffCloseMultiPageFile() function. (see example).

Copy Code

Dim ImageID1, ImageID2, ImageID3 As Integer
 
ImageID1 = oGdPictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image1.tif")
ImageID2 = oGdPictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image2.jpg")
ImageID3 = oGdPictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image3.jpg")
 
oGdPictureImaging.TiffSaveAsMultiPageFile(ImageID1, "multipage.tif", TiffCompression.TiffCompressionAUTO)
oGdPictureImaging.TiffAddToMultiPageFile(ImageID1, ImageID2)
oGdPictureImaging.TiffAddToMultiPageFile(ImageID1, ImageID3)
oGdPictureImaging.TiffCloseMultiPageFile(ImageID1)
 
oGdPictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(ImageID1)
oGdPictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(ImageID2)
oGdPictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(ImageID3)
