Make sure you are using the latest iText version, it has some fixes for broken 
files. The files can be corrupt (and most probably are) but as iText is not a 
fax viewer we don't go to extremes that they go to recover broken files.

Subject: [iText-questions] "Scanline must begin with EOL code word" when 
reading certain Fax files

Hi,

I’m developing a software that reads tiff files from a fax server and converts 
them to pdf. Recently I’m experiencing RuntimeExceptions when trying to load 
faxes from certain senders. This is what they look like:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Scanline must begin with EOL code word.
                at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TIFFFaxDecoder.readEOL(Unknown 
Source)
                at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TIFFFaxDecoder.decode2D(Unknown 
Source)
                at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TiffImage.getTiffImage(Unknown 
Source)
                at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TiffImage.getTiffImage(Unknown 
Source)

I can open the files in any image viewer so I don’t think that the files are 
corrupt.

Does somebody know what causes that problem and how I can read the files 
without getting it?

Thanks,
Stefan
