[iText-questions] itext TIFF to PDF conversion doesn't work for TIFF files with more than 3 samples per pixel and also for images with 16 bits per sample

Hi,      I was trying to convert some sample TIFF images to PDF. ITEXT failed for some images which I then analyzed using TIFF Tag Viewer. I found that ITEXT TIFF to PDF conversion doesn't work for TIFF files with 1)more than 3 samples per pixel ( for which exception is - Extra samples are not supported)   2)for images with 16 bits per sample( for which exception given is - Bits per sample 16 is not supported)   3) Also there was an exception - The photometric 8 is not supported (which I think is due to its property photometric whose value is CIElab. Normally for all images the value of this property is RGB)     What is the reason for these exceptions and can we somehow make it work?   Regards, Abhishek Vaidya
