Home > .NET Imaging SDK > VB.NET > TWAIN: Scan Multi-pages into One PDF Document
To get started with DocImage SDK for .NET, you are supposed to read VB.NET Imaging: Get Started first!

In today's modern enterprises or institutions, there are often a large number of photos or documents (which are in the form of hard copy) being scanned and stored in digital format via document capturing and imaging system. And in most cases, those scanned individual image files need to be combined into one convenient multi-page document file, like PDF and TIFF. vb.net pdf to image converter, asp.net pdf editor, vb.net pdf generation, vb.net save form as pdf, vb.net read pdf to text, c# tiff to bitmap. This VB.NET TWAIN pages scanning control add-on is developed to offer programmers an efficient solution to scan multiple pages into one PDF or TIFF document file.

TWAIN Acquisition Events
Before introducing the detailed process of scanning many pages into one PDF or TIFF file, we will guide you to look at what it takes to scan a single page. What should be mentioned here is that, the whole TWAIN image acquisition and capturing process, namely, the process of capturing a page and transferring scanned image to target application, is event driven. asp net remove image from pdf, asp.net pdf reader, open word document in iframe using asp.net, free pdf preview in asp net c#, asp.net edit pdf, mvc view pdf, asp.net core open excel file. To put it in another way, if you want to conduct certain TWAIN image scanning function, like saving an image, you need to use corresponding event handler.
Here we list the three main TWAIN acquisition events that may need to be used in the VB.NET TWAIN pages scanning process.
  • ImageAcquired: this event will be raised when the scanner finishes capturing and scanning a page.
  • AcquireFinished: this event will be triggered when the scanner finishes scanning the last page.
  • AcquireCanceled: this event will be raised if users cancel the image acquisition process.
After this TWAIN pages scanning control captures the images to your application, your can use the PDF processing or TIFF editing APIs contained in this VB.NET TWAIN pages scanning SDK to create standard PDF or TIFF document file based on captured image source.
Note: In RasterEdge VB.NET TWAIN scanning SDK, the acquisition is controlled by one acquisition object. As one acquisition object is linked to the TWAIN device and TWAIN only allows one connection, please make sure there is only one acquisition object in the application in the process of scanning multiple pages into PDF or TIFF file.
VB.NET Sample Code
This VB.NET TWAIN pages scanning control add-on allows developers to scan multiple pages into PDF or TIFF file. And here we offer a VB.NET demo code which is mainly used to scan many pages into PDF document file via TWAIN image capturing application. By the way, if you need to scan double-sided pages into one PDF document file, maybe you need to integrate this duplex scanning function (supported by this VB.NET featured TWAIN scanning control) into your VB.NET TWAIN scanning application.
Public Class AcquisitionClass
Private _acquireCanceled As Boolean
Private myAcquisition As New Acquisition()

Public Sub ScanImages()
_acquireCanceled = False
myAcquisition.AcquireCanceled += New EventHandler(AddressOf OnAcquireCanceled)
myAcquisition.AcquireFinished += New EventHandler(AddressOf OnAcquireFinished)
myAcquisition.ImageAcquired += New EventHandler(AddressOf OnImageAcquired)
Dim activeDevice As Device = myAcquisition.ShowSelectSource()
activeDevice.Acquire()
End Sub

Private Sub OnImageAcquired(sender As Object, e As ImageAcquiredEventArgs)
If e.Image IsNot Nothing Then
Dim doc As New TIFFDocument("outputTiff.tif")
Dim page As New TIFFPage(e.Img)
doc.AddPage(page)
doc.Save("outputTiff.tif")
doc.Dispose()
End If
End Sub

Private Sub OnAcquireCanceled(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
_acquireCanceled = True
End Sub

Private Sub OnAcquireFinished(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
If _acquireCanceled Then
Return
End If

Dim doc As New TIFFDocument("outputTiff.tif")
Dim pageCount As Integer = doc.GetPageCount()
Dim imgSouce As New List(Of REImage)()

For i As Integer = 0 To pageCount - 1
Dim img As REImage = DirectCast(doc.GetPage(i).ToImage(), REIMage)
imgSouce.Add(img)
Next

Dim doc1 As New PDFDocument(imgSouce)
doc1.Save("outputPDF.pdf")
End Sub
End Class
