how to convert existing pdf file into .tiff format

Hi,

Can anyone suggest me any of the java API to convert the existing pdf into tiff so that i can use the file to send as a fax.

Thanks in advance.

One possible approach would be to render the PDF into a Swing component (using the PDFRenderer library), and then to render that component into an image. Then you can save the image using the ImageIO class (which supports TIFF with the help of this library).
