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?
I understand that Batik only supports Deflate algorithm. But you may try
this extension of Apache Fop: TIFFRenderer. It is made to add
compression capabilities. Not sure if it works with the 0.92 version, though

Other libraries are around, like LibTIFF (a C library that does what you
want) and Sun's library for TIFF (com.sun.media.imageio.plugins.tiff,
not sure of the version). Commercial libs are around too, look for tiff
compression in google.
