.SH NAME
|
|
tiff2pdf - convert a TIFF image to a PDF document
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B tiff2pdf [
|
|
.I options
|
|
.B ]
|
|
.I input.tiff
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B tiff2pdf
|
|
opens a TIFF image and writes a PDF document to standard output.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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
|
|
.I libtiff
|
|
and PDF.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you have multiple TIFF files to convert into one PDF file then use
|
|
.I 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The standard output is standard output. Set the output file name with the
|
|
.BI -o output.pdf
|
|
option.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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,
|
|
.I libtiff
|
|
CCITT support is assumed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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
|
|
.B \-j
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-z
|
|
options. JPEG compression support
|
|
requires that
|
|
.I libtiff
|
|
be configured with JPEG support, and Zip/Deflate compression support requires
|
|
that
|
|
.I libtiff
|
|
be configured with Zip support, in tiffconf.h. Use only one or the other of
|
|
.B \-j
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-z.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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,
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-n.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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
|
|
.B \-x
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-y
|
|
options. The page size can be set using the
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
option for paper size, or
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-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
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
option, the default unit is inch.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Various items of the output document information can be set with the
|
|
.B \-e,
|
|
.B \-c,
|
|
.B \-a,
|
|
.B \-t,
|
|
.B \-s,
|
|
and
|
|
.B \-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.
