The TIF opens fine in a viewer.  How can you tell if a TIF is broken?

Looks like a broken tiff. It may be an yet unknown bug but I would have
to see the tiff.

        Subject: [iText-questions] Error Converting fax TIF to PDF

         

        Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance.  I am
working on an application that watches for incoming faxes on Microsoft
fax (Windows 2003 server).  The inbound fax is written to a folder and I
am using the FileSystemWatcher to watch for newly written TIF files to
convert to PDF.  From there, I am using iTextSharp to convert the files.
The process has been working well for the past few days, but I have now
run into the following messages on a couple of conversions:

         

        J:\Faxes\Fax00000174.TIF~RF29ca9f3a.TMP caused the error: 

         

        System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Attempted to read past the end
of the stream. at
iTextSharp.text.pdf.RandomAccessFileOrArray.ReadUnsignedShort() at
iTextSharp.text.pdf.codec.TIFFDirectory.GetNumDirectories(RandomAccessFi
leOrArray stream) at
iTextSharp.text.pdf.codec.TiffImage.GetNumberOfPages(RandomAccessFileOrA
rray s) at Fax_Factory.Form1.ConvertFaxtoPDF(String SourceFile)

         

        I'm not exactly sure what this is trying to tell me.  I have
logic in the conversion to check for end of file.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

         

        Thanks
