+ tiff2pdf opens a TIFF image and writes a PDF +document to standard output. + +The program converts one TIFF file to one PDF file, +including multiple page TIFF files, tiled TIFF files, black +and white. grayscale, and color TIFF files that contain data +of TIFF photometric interpretations of bilevel, grayscale, +RGB, YCbCr, CMYK separation, and ICC L*a*b* as supported by +libtiff and PDF. + +If you have multiple TIFF files to convert into one PDF +file then use tiffcp or other program to concatenate +the files into a multiple page TIFF file. If the input TIFF +file is of huge dimensions (greater than 10000 pixels height +or width) convert the input image to a tiled TIFF if it is +not already. + +The standard output is standard output. Set the output +file name with the -ooutput.pdf option. + +All black and white files are compressed into a single +strip CCITT G4 Fax compressed PDF, unless tiled, where tiled +black and white images are compressed into tiled CCITT G4 +Fax compressed PDF, libtiff CCITT support is +assumed. + +Color and grayscale data can be compressed using either +JPEG compression, ITU-T T.81, or Zip/Deflate LZ77 +compression. Set the compression type using the +−j or −z options. JPEG compression +support requires that libtiff be configured with JPEG +support, and Zip/Deflate compression support requires that +libtiff be configured with Zip support, in +tiffconf.h. Use only one or the other of −j and +−z. + +If the input TIFF contains single strip CCITT G4 Fax +compressed information, then that is written to the PDF file +without transcoding, unless the options of no compression +and no passthrough are set, −d and +−n. + +If the input TIFF contains JPEG or single strip +Zip/Deflate compressed information, and they are configured, +then that is written to the PDF file without transcoding, +unless the options of no compression and no passthrough are +set. + +The default page size upon which the TIFF image is placed +is determined by the resolution and extent of the image +data. Default values for the TIFF image resolution can be +set using the −x and −y options. +The page size can be set using the −p option +for paper size, or −w and −l for +paper width and length, then each page of the TIFF image is +centered on its page. The distance unit for default +resolution and page width and length can be set by the +−u option, the default unit is inch. + +Various items of the output document information can be +set with the −e, −c, −a, −t, +−s, and −k options. Setting the +argument of the option to "" for these tags causes +the relevant document information field to be not written. +Some of the document information values otherwise get their +information from the input TIFF image, the software, author, +document name, and image description. + +The Portable Document Format (PDF) specification is +copyrighted by Adobe Systems, Incorporated. + |
