Hi Andreas,

you'll have to use JAI to do the conversion from YCbCr to RGB and then 
iText to convert to PDF. This should work, but please take the performance 
impact of these operations into consideration. You don't have any problems 
if this only runs in some kind of batch processing with no one waiting for 
it. If you want to convert on the fly after a user request, only the iText 
tiff to PDF conversion can be too slow to be waited for and very memory 
and cpu excessive depending on the size of the image. Just a few pages are 
ok. Much more will need testing on your production hardware.

Now you only need to find a way to distinguish between RGB tiff files and 
YCbCr tiff files with incorrect directory ;)

Best regards
Benjamin

iText doesn't support YCbCr.

Unfortunately the customer cannot fix that problem, so we have to find a 
solution.
