Tiff to pdf converter in java
This HowTo is based on the iText package. You need a recent version (ex. 2.*)
This a command line utility. You pass one or many tif files as argument and corresponding PDF are produced. Multipage TIF are supported. TIF are resized to fit a letter-page dimension.

Convert Tiff to Pdf in java using itext
I am using the below code for converting tiff to pdf It works fine for tiff images of dimensions 850*1100.But when I am trying to give the input tiff image of dimensions(Eg :- 1574*732, 684*353 or other 850*1100), I am getting the below error. Please help me how to convert tiff images of different dimensions to pdf.
Error Occured for below code .Compression JPEG is only supported with a single strip. This image has 45 strips.
This code will explain how you can convert tiff to pdf.. more information can be found here and here

Can I achieve this using the JAI library?
What other ways can i realise this?
Is there an API based solution to realise this?

I had downloaded this jar from http://pdfbox.apache.org/ . Where can I find the correct fontbox.jar?

At the same place. You may want to grab jempbox as well, just in case it's needed.
I would like to convert the PDF file to a tiff file. So as mentioned the first step is to convert it into PNG file and then using JAI convert the PNG into TIFF.
As i need to convert this further to a TIFF file, I would like to know if it is possible to have a byte array of the PNG file without actually it being creatd in the FileSystem which I can use as an input for the ImageIO classes?
. and then using JAI convert the PNG into TIFF.
You'd be using the TIFF-enabled ImageIO to create the TIFF. As I said, JAI is not involved.
In the PDFBox, the PDFImageWriter calss is used to convert the PDF to the desired PNG file. However, the PNG file is created in the Filesystem.
Is having an interim file an actual problem? ImageIO can read a PNG file in one line of code - it doesn't get much easier than that.

It is possible, but you'll have to dig deeper into PDFBox and ImageIO. The solution would involve adapting PDFImageWriter.writeImage to obtain a MemoryCacheImageOutputStream in the ImageIO.createImageOutputStream call instead of a FileImageOutputStream. Unless you've ascertained (how?) that creating interim PNG files is an actual problem this is a lot of effort for little gain.
Where can I find the jar file wih the plugin for TIFF?
How can i compress the TIFF file?
I can use the approach as mentioned in the discussion thread to convert PDF to PNG and then to TIFF.
I want to convert a multipage PDF to TIFF.
What would be the best apporach -> to split the final TIFF or to first split PDF and then create the individual TIFFs.
Is there a better approach?
Also, at the following link I found a different approach (using Jpedal)
Are there any differences/downsides of using it?

A good library for converting PDF to TIFF? [closed]
I need a Java library to convert PDFs to TIFF images. The PDFs are faxes, and I will be converting to TIFF so that I can then do barcode recognition on the image. Can anyone recommend a good free open source library for conversion from PDF to TIFF?

We have an SDK that can convert PDF to TIFF. The rendering is powered by Foxit software which makes a very powerful and efficient PDF renderer.
I can't recommend any code library, but it's easy to use GhostScript to convert PDF into bitmap formats. I've personally used the script below (which also uses the netpbm utilties) to convert the first page of a PDF into a JPEG thumbnail:
You can use -sDEVICE=tiff. to get direct TIFF output in various TIFF sub-formats from GhostScript.
we here also doing conversion PDF -> G3 tiffs with high and low res. From my experience the best tool you can have is Adobe PDF SDK, the only problem with it is its insane price. So we don't use it.
what works fine for us is ghostscript, last versions are pretty much robust and do render correctly majority of the pdfs. And we have quite a few of them coming during the day. In production conversion is done using the gsdll32.dll; but if you want to try it use the following command line:
it would convert your PDF into the high res G3 TIFF. and prefix.ps code is here:
another thing about this sdk is that it's open source; you're getting both c and ps (postscript) source code for it. Also if you're going with another tool check what kind of an engine they have to power the pdf rendering, it could happen they are using gs for it; like for instance LeadTools does.
hope this helps, regards
You can use the icepdf library (Apache 2.0 License). They even provide this exact use case as one of their example source code: http://wiki.icesoft.org/display/PDF/Multi-page+Tiff+Capture
Maybe it is not neccessary to convert the PDF into TIFF. The fax will most likely be an embedded image in the PDF, so you could just extract these images again. That should be possible with the already mentioned iText library.
I don't know if this is easier than the other approach.
No Itext can not convert PDFs to Tiff.
However, there are commercial libraries that can do that. jPDFImages is a 100% java library that can convert PDF to images in TIFF, JPEG or PNG formats (and maybe JBIG? I am not sure). It can also do the reverse, create PDF from images. It starts at $300 for a server.
Here is a good article and wrapper classes for using GhostScript with C# .NET. ended up using this in production
I have some great experience with iText (now, I'm using 5.0.6 version) and this is the code for tiff convertion into pdf:
