//Export multiple map series pages to TIFF

//Create a TIFF export format
TIFFFormat msTIFF = new TIFFFormat()
{
  Resolution = 300,
  OutputFileName = filePath,
  ColorMode = TIFFColorMode.TwentyFourBitTrueColor,
  HasGeoTiffTags = true,
  HasWorldFile = true
};

//Set up the export options for the map series
MapSeriesExportOptions MSExport_All = new MapSeriesExportOptions()
{
  ExportPages = ExportPages.All,
  ExportFileOptions = ExportFileOptions.ExportMultipleNames,
  ShowSelectedSymbology = false
};

//Check to see if the path is valid and export
if (msPDF.ValidateOutputFilePath())
{
  layout.Export(msPDF, MSExport_All);  //Export each page to a TIFF and apppend the page name suffix to each output file 
}
Export a map series to individual TIFF files
//Export each page of a map series to an individual TIFF file.

//Create TIFF format with appropriate settings
TIFFFormat TIFF = new TIFFFormat()
{
  OutputFileName = filePath,
  Resolution = 300,
  ColorMode = TIFFColorMode.TwentyFourBitTrueColor,
  HasGeoTiffTags = true,
  HasWorldFile = true,
  ImageCompression = TIFFImageCompression.LZW
};

//Set up map series export options
MapSeriesExportOptions MSExportOptions_TIFF = new MapSeriesExportOptions()
{
  ExportPages = ExportPages.All,  //All pages
  ExportFileOptions = ExportFileOptions.ExportMultipleNames,  //Export each page to an individual file using page name as a suffix.
  ShowSelectedSymbology = true  //Include selection symbology in the output
};

//Export on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Check to see if the path is valid and export
  if (TIFF.ValidateOutputFilePath())
  {
    layout.Export(TIFF, MSExportOptions_TIFF);  //Export to TIFF
  }
