Creating TIFF documents

The Scanbot SDK provides the ability to write scanned images into a TIFF file.

The TIFF generator includes convenient functions to write scanned images into a multi-page TIFF file, adjust the file's parameters, and encrypt the newly created file.

Note: The SDK can optionally encrypt the TIFF file, offering a high level of protection. To decrypt the TIFF file, you can use a provided encryption key or generate the key yourself using a combination of salt, password, and iterations.
