Set the output file name with the +.BI \-o " output.pdf" +option. +.PP +All black and white files are compressed into a single strip CCITT G4 Fax +compressed PDF, unless tiled, where tiled black and white images are +compressed into tiled CCITT G4 Fax compressed PDF, +.I libtiff +CCITT support is assumed. +.PP +Color and grayscale data can be compressed using either JPEG compression, +ITU-T T.81, or Zip/Deflate LZ77 compression. Set the compression type using +the +.B \-j +or +.B \-z +options. JPEG compression support +requires that +.I libtiff +be configured with JPEG support, and Zip/Deflate compression support requires +that +.I libtiff +be configured with Zip support, in tiffconf.h. Use only one or the other of +.B \-j +and +.B \-z. +.PP +If the input TIFF contains single strip CCITT G4 Fax compressed information, +then that is written to the PDF file without transcoding, unless the options +of no compression and no passthrough are set, +.B \-d +and +.B \-n. +.PP +If the input TIFF contains JPEG or single strip Zip/Deflate compressed +information, and they are configured, then that is written to the PDF file +without transcoding, unless the options of no compression and no passthrough +are set. +.PP +The default page size upon which the TIFF image is placed is determined by +the resolution and extent of the image data. Default values for the TIFF +image resolution can be set using the +.B \-x +and +.B \-y +options. The page size can be set using the +.B \-p +option for paper size, or +.B \-w +and +.B \-l +for paper width and length, then each page of the TIFF image is centered on +its page. The distance unit for default resolution and page width and +length can be set by the +.B \-u +option, the default unit is inch. +.PP +Various items of the output document information can be set with the +.BR \-e , +.BR \-c , +.BR \-a , +.BR \-t , +.BR \-s , +and +.B \-k +options. Setting the argument of the option to "" for these +tags causes the relevant document information field to be not written. Some +of the document information values otherwise get their information from the +input TIFF image, the software, author, document name, and image description. +.PP +The Portable Document Format (PDF) specification is copyrighted by Adobe +Systems, Incorporated. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BI \-o " output-file" +Set the output to go to file. +.I output-file +.TP +.B \-j +Compress with JPEG (requires +.I libjpeg +configured with +.IR libtiff ). +.TP +.B \-z +Compress with Zip/Deflate (requires +.I zlib +configured with +.IR libtiff ). +.TP +.BI \-q " quality" +Set the compression quality, 1-100 for JPEG. +.TP +.B \-n +Do not allow data to be converted without uncompressing, no compressed +data passthrough. +.TP +.BI \-b +Set PDF ``Interpolate'' user preference. +.TP +.B \-d +Do not compress (decompress). +.TP +.B \-i +Invert colors. +.TP +.BI \-p " paper-size" +Set paper size, e.g., +.BR letter , +.BR legal , +.BR A4 . +.TP +.BR \-u " [" i | m ] +Set distance unit, +.B i +for inch, +.B m +for centimeter. +.TP +.BI \-w " width" +Set width in units. +.TP +.BI \-l " length" +Set length in units. +.TP +.BI \-x " xres" +Set x/width resolution default. +.TP +.BI \-y " yres" +Set y/length resolution default. +.TP +.BR \-r " [" d | o ] +Set +.B d +for resolution default for images without resolution, +.B o +for resolution override for all images. +.TP +.BI \-f +Set PDF ``Fit Window'' user preference. +.TP +.BI \-e " YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" +Set document information date, overrides image or current date/time default, +.I YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. +.TP +.BI \-c " creator" +Set document information creator, overrides image software default. +.TP +.BI \-a " author" +Set document information author, overrides image artist default. +.TP +.BI \-t " title" +Set document information title, overrides image document name default. +.TP +.BI \-s " subject" +Set document information subject, overrides image image description default. +.TP +.BI \-k " keywords" +Set document information keywords. +.TP +.B \-h +List usage reminder to stderr and exit. +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +The following example would generate the file output.pdf from input.tiff. +.RS +.nf +tiff2pdf \-o output.pdf input.tiff +.fi +.RE +.PP +The following example would generate PDF output from input.tiff and write it +to standard output. +.RS +.nf +tiff2pdf input.tiff +.fi +.RE +.PP +The following example would generate the file output.pdf from input.tiff, +putting the image pages on a letter sized page, compressing the output +with JPEG, with JPEG quality 75, setting the title to ``Document'', and setting +the ``Fit Window'' option. +.RS +.nf +tiff2pdf \-p letter \-j \-q 75 \-t "Document" \-f \-o output.pdf input.tiff +.fi +.RE +.SH BUGS +Please report bugs via the web interface at +.IP +\%http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libtiff +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR libtiff (3), +.BR tiffcp (1), +.BR tiff2ps (1) +.PP +Libtiff library home page: +.BR http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/ |
