SYNOPSIS

       cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

tiff2pdf [ options ] input.tiff

DESCRIPTION

       cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

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 −o output.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.
