If Apache PDFBox works the same way as Apache FOP (i.e. it embeds the raw undecoded CCITT data to the PDF), it can only process files with only one strip and one tile. Your file seems to have multiple strips in which case the data would have to be decoded and re-encoded. And that doesn't seem to be supported right now.
Maybe a tool like ImageMagick can change the TIFF for you to get it to work with PDFBox. I guess at some point, PDFBox may have to learn how to read arbitrary bitmap images (ex. using ImageIO) and encode them as an XObject. If I've seen it right, only JPEG and CCITT TIFF are supported right now. When anyone is looking into doing this it will be a good idea to look at Apache XML Graphics Commons' image loading framework which supports all sorts of image formats and image conversions: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/image-loader.html On 10.08.2010 22:48:38 José Rodolfo Carrijo de Freitas wrote: > I have a tiff file which I cannot insert it in a pdf > > through the PDCcitt class.
