Ok, my confusion here. I said "input TIFF files", forget it, hehe.
There is only TIFF output, then.

I don't know about TIFF compression options INSIDE FOP, but the "plan B" solution would be to compress it after you have produced this TIFF output in an external tool, such as Gimp or Photoshop.

Does anyone know about TIFF compression options inside FOP?

Thanks,
Fernando

Heya,
Thanks for your quick response.
I am new to all this so may have missed something.

My input consists of some initial XML, XSL:FO and some small JPG images.  I am 
using exactly the same source for both generating PDF's as I am to generate 
TIFF files.

The only thing I am changing is the java implementation so the output will be 
in TIFF format.

Do I have to specify anything in the java or XSL which is specific for TIFF 
files and will help me here?

Cheers,
Richard

Java implementation is as follows:
            OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(fopOutputDir + fileRoot + 
".tiff");
            out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out);
            try {
                Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_TIFF, userAgent, 
out);

                //Setup Transformer
                Source xsltSrc = new StreamSource(fopDirectory + xslName);
                TransformerFactory transformerFactory = 
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                Transformer transformer = 
transformerFactory.newTransformer(xsltSrc);
                Source src = new StreamSource(fopOutputDir + fileRoot + ".xml");

                //Make sure the XSL transformation's result is piped through to 
FOP
                Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());

                //Start the transformation and rendering process
                transformer.transform(src, res);

Hi,

Have you already tried to compress your input TIFF files? I never used this FOP's version, but check if there is any compression options for this kind of output.

Using tools as Gimp or Photoshop could easily do this job, as well. Using LZW compression would cause a minor impact in the loss of quality than JPEG, in your compressed TIFF files.

Probably better suggestions may arise in the list.

Good luck ;-)
Fernando

Hi all,
I currently use fop 0.92 to product PDF documents but have had a request to 
also produce a TIFF documents.  To this end I updated my java code so MIME_TIFF 
is used.

The file produced is very large.
The PDF created is 145KB
The equivalent tiff file is 9650KB!

Is there any way to reduce this file size?
Are there any other alternatives I could consider?

Many thanks,
Richard
