Hi,
I have some problems with a tiff-compression. What I use is tiff2pdf converter. For most tiff’s (b&w FaxG4) everything’s working just fine. BUT with all colored tiff’s, I get IllegalArgumentException or RuntimeException (see bottom please). I can open that tiff with IrfanView, so the file (buffer) is not corrupted. What am I doing wrong? Thanx in advance Vedran Germany p.s.: IrfanView says (“Compression: Old JPEG (in TIFF)”?!? public byte[] tiff2pdf(byte[] tifBuffer) { byte[] pdfBuffer = null; try { Image img2 = Image.getInstance(tifBuffer); //cause IllegalArgumentException // creation of the document with a certain size and certain margins Document document = new Document(new Rectangle(img2.width(),img2.height()), 0, 0, 0, 0); // creation of the different writers ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, byteArrayOut); SeekableStream s = new ByteArraySeekableStream(tifBuffer); TIFFDecodeParam param = null; ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("tiff", s, param); // cause RuntimeException logger.info("Number of images in this TIFF: " + dec.getNumPages()); // Which of the multiple images in the TIFF file do we want to load // 0 refers to the first, 1 to the second and so on. int total = dec.getNumPages(); document.open(); PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent(); for (int k = 0; k < total; ++k) { RenderedImage ri = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(k); Raster ra = ri.getData(); BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(ri.getColorModel(), Raster.createWritableRaster(ri.getSampleModel(), ra.getDataBuffer(), null), false, new Hashtable()); Image img = Image.getInstance(bi, null, true); img.setAbsolutePosition(0, 0); cb.addImage(img); document.newPage(); } document.close(); pdfBuffer = byteArrayOut.toByteArray(); } catch (Exception de) { de.printStackTrace(); } return pdfBuffer; } java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The compression 6 is not supported. at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TiffImage.getTiffImageColor(Unknown Source) at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TiffImage.getTiffImage(Unknown Source) at com.lowagie.text.pdf.codec.TiffImage.getTiffImage(Unknown Source) at com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(Unknown Source) java.lang.RuntimeException: Planar (band-sequential) format TIFF is not supported. at com.sun.media.jai.codecimpl.TIFFImage.<init>(TIFFImage.java:340) at com.sun.media.jai.codecimpl.TIFFImageDecoder.decodeAsRenderedImage(TIFFImageDecoder.java:112) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
