Ok, I'm on the last leg of my journey to solve a large problem I've been working on. Basically, I'm trying to create a form in Visual Basic that allows Tablet PC users to input their signature, and then transfer that signature into a .PDF form in a signature field. I'm using Microsoft's TabletPC SDK, and ActivePDF.
I can capture the Ink data as a fortified .gif image. A fortified .gif (from my understanding) is a .gif image that contains some ink data to allow it to be transferred back into raw ink data. My problem is that ActivePDF does not support .gif flattening. It does however support .jpeg and .tiff flattening.
I'm hoping that I can convert this fortified .gif image into a regular .jpeg or .tiff and then flatten it into my PDF form. My question is how do I convert a .gif image into a .jpeg or .tiff using Visual Basic? Or, if any of you know anything more about the TabletPC SDK and ActivePDF, or have any other suggestions on a better way to accomplish my goal, I'd love to hear it. Thanks for your help,
