Convert a HTML file to TIFF programmatically?

[Dominic]

Hi guys,

In .NET, how can I convert a HTML file to TIFF efficiently?

One possible way is that I can first use word automatation to load the
HTML up and then print it to TIFF. Is that right? However, even if it
is technically feasible, it can take long time to do the conversion,
especially the HTML is complicated.

Is there any other more efficient way? Thanks!

How about converting HTML to JPEG? (The HTML is big, and I'm afraid
that the converted TIFF may be huge....)

Thanks
Dominic

according to a co-worker, heres what u want to do:
make sure the html is either xhtml or xml->friendly html. then use apache
FOP to convert it to whatever. apparently its best at pdfs.. and pdfs are
cooler than tiff/jpg... much cooler.... much much cooler...
hope that helps

Thanks for your answer. I'm afraid that I didn't express my question
clearly. I actually want to do the conversion programmatically in C#.
