52<p><i>tiff2pdf</i> opens a TIFF image and writes a PDF
53document to standard output.</p>
54<!-- INDENTATION -->
55<p>The program converts one TIFF file to one PDF file,
56including multiple page TIFF files, tiled TIFF files, black
57and white. grayscale, and color TIFF files that contain data
58of TIFF photometric interpretations of bilevel, grayscale,
59RGB, YCbCr, CMYK separation, and ICC L*a*b* as supported by
60<i>libtiff</i> and PDF.</p>
61<!-- INDENTATION -->
62<p>If you have multiple TIFF files to convert into one PDF
63file then use <i>tiffcp</i> or other program to concatenate
64the files into a multiple page TIFF file. If the input TIFF
65file is of huge dimensions (greater than 10000 pixels height
66or width) convert the input image to a tiled TIFF if it is
67not already.</p>
68<!-- INDENTATION -->
69<p>The standard output is standard output. Set the output
70file name with the <b>&minus;o</b> <i>output.pdf</i>
71option.</p>
72<!-- INDENTATION -->
73<p>All black and white files are compressed into a single
74strip CCITT G4 Fax compressed PDF, unless tiled, where tiled
75black and white images are compressed into tiled CCITT G4
76Fax compressed PDF, <i>libtiff</i> CCITT support is
77assumed.</p>
78<!-- INDENTATION -->
79<p>Color and grayscale data can be compressed using either
80JPEG compression, ITU-T T.81, or Zip/Deflate LZ77
81compression. Set the compression type using the
82<b>&minus;j</b> or <b>&minus;z</b> options. JPEG compression
83support requires that <i>libtiff</i> be configured with JPEG
84support, and Zip/Deflate compression support requires that
85<i>libtiff</i> be configured with Zip support, in
86tiffconf.h. Use only one or the other of <b>&minus;j</b> and
87<b>&minus;z.</b></p>
88<!-- INDENTATION -->
89<p>If the input TIFF contains single strip CCITT G4 Fax
90compressed information, then that is written to the PDF file
91without transcoding, unless the options of no compression
92and no passthrough are set, <b>&minus;d</b> and
93<b>&minus;n.</b></p>
94<!-- INDENTATION -->
95<p>If the input TIFF contains JPEG or single strip
96Zip/Deflate compressed information, and they are configured,
97then that is written to the PDF file without transcoding,
98unless the options of no compression and no passthrough are
99set.</p>
100<!-- INDENTATION -->
101<p>The default page size upon which the TIFF image is placed
102is determined by the resolution and extent of the image
103data. Default values for the TIFF image resolution can be
104set using the <b>&minus;x</b> and <b>&minus;y</b> options.
105The page size can be set using the <b>&minus;p</b> option
106for paper size, or <b>&minus;w</b> and <b>&minus;l</b> for
107paper width and length, then each page of the TIFF image is
108centered on its page. The distance unit for default
109resolution and page width and length can be set by the
110<b>&minus;u</b> option, the default unit is inch.</p>
111<!-- INDENTATION -->
112<p>Various items of the output document information can be
113set with the <b>&minus;e</b>, <b>&minus;c</b>,
114<b>&minus;a</b>, <b>&minus;t</b>, <b>&minus;s</b>, and
115<b>&minus;k</b> options. Setting the argument of the option
116to &quot;&quot; for these tags causes the relevant document
117information field to be not written. Some of the document
118information values otherwise get their information from the
119input TIFF image, the software, author, document name, and
120image description.</p>
