Reason for my vote of 1 \n Measuring the wrong thing. IL code is the same, execution is different, but C# code is definitely not the reason.

Have a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.threading.dispatcher(v=vs.110).aspx. Every DispatcherObject (the base class of all WPF controls) provides the Dispatcher property.

Dispatcher class provides method CheckAccess() which can be used for your purpose.

Perhaps https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-picasa-data-api/tNL4TeNP6fI or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30469058/google-gdata-client-gdatarequestexception-authentication-suddenly-fails-in-old would help you.
FYI: I have just googled your failure message ;-)

Reason for my vote of 5 \n I do not know the reason why we need an answer to this question, but realization is nice and cool!

Perhaps you can use https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.keysconverter.aspx, but you need to handle Shift, Alt etc. by yourself.

When you have converted the KeyCode into a character it is easy to write a class which outputs a word whenever a space is recognized.
Output can be designed by an "public event Action<string> WordFound" which is called whenever condition matched.

Is it able to use a concurrent API?

You have the following steps:
1) Read image data into memory
2) Create an image
3) Create PDF from image
4) Write PDF to disk

Add a queue between each step and connect the steps via the queue.
Each step uses a separate worker taken from in-queue and writing result it to out-queue.

This might improve performance, because conversion from data to image and image to pdf can be made concurrent (if theses steps are the cpu hogs).

Steps 1 and 4 are io intensive, but when reading or writing data cpu is waiting for disk and these small waits can be used by other threads.

NOTE:
1) This might only work if creation of image and creation of pdf API can be used concurrently.
2) Use a cpu profile and check if the assumptions you made are correct (e.g. that conversion of image and conversion of pdf are the cpu hogs)
