Tilman Hausherr edited comment on PDFBOX-1963 at 3/7/14 12:47 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------ The refactoring took away the possibility to decide on the type of the BufferedImage, especially for bitonal images, which is a requirement for TIFF CCITT G4 compression. [Edit: ImageIOUtils uses the imagetype to choose the G4 compression or the LZW compression, see the code and PDFBOX-1734. G4 compression isn't allowed for RGB images even if they have just b/w in it, because java doesn't count the # of actual colors] Please find a solution. I also don't understand why you took away the PDPage parameter and are using a page index instead, and then get a PDPage object again from that. The modified TIFF testing code in TestImageIOUtils.java doesn't do the test anymore - the old code had one test for RGB and one test for BITONAL. Now it has two tests - only the file names differ, not the filetypes, so an identical image is created. was (Author: tilman): Your refactoring that "needed" to be done took away the possibility to decide on the type of the BufferedImage, especially for bitonal images, which is a requirement for TIFF CCITT G4 compression.
