I need to convert different files formats into .png grayscale (8 or 16 bit) format. I have found tools that can convert documents, PDFs and text docs.
I was looking into Aspose Imaging for .Net but the API converted grayscaled images are actually larger than the actual files for .jpg, png and tif formats. I want to make them as small as possible, which is part of the requirement.
I have looked into image magik, but our company does not allow open source software in our web service development.
If I use more than one tool for this conversion, will my WCF application get affected? I am sure I will have to use thread safe API's because multiple objects of this application will be running on the server.
Thank you
Went with Aspos converter, their product is good but service is not that great. Also looked into snowbound, it wasn't that great.
