VB.NET Example of Converting Single Image file to PDF Conversion

Here, we take jpg image file as an example for converting one image to PDF in VB.NET.

Dim inputImagePath As String = "C:\demo.jpg"
' Load a jpg image file.
Dim bmp As Bitmap = New Bitmap(inputImagePath)
Dim images As List(Of Bitmap) = New List(Of Bitmap)() 
images.Add(bmp)
' Build a PDF document with jpg image.
Dim doc As PDFDocument = New PDFDocument(images.ToArray())

' Save document to a file.

images.Add(New Bitmap("C:\1.png"))

' Build a PDF document with these images.
Dim doc As PDFDocument = New PDFDocument(images.ToArray())

' Save document to a file.
Dim outputFilePath As String = "C:\output.pdf"
doc.Save(outputFilePath)
