The program converts one TIFF file to one PDF file,
including multiple page TIFF files, tiled TIFF files, black

of TIFF photometric interpretations of bilevel, grayscale,

<i>libtiff</i> and PDF.</td></table>

If you have multiple TIFF files to convert into one PDF file
then use <i>tiffcp</i> 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.</td></table>

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</b> or <b>-z</b>
options. JPEG compression support requires that
<i>libtiff</i> be configured with JPEG support, and
Zip/Deflate compression support requires that <i>libtiff</i>
be configured with Zip support, in tiffconf.h. Use only one
or the other of <b>-j</b> and <b>-z.</b></td></table>

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</b> and <b>-y</b> options. The page size can
be set using the <b>-p</b> option for paper size, or
<b>-w</b> and <b>-l</b> 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</b> option, the default unit
is inch.</td></table>

Various items of the output document information can be set

Setting the argument of the option to &quot;&quot; for these

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.</td></table>
