Heya, Thanks for your quick response. I am new to all this so may have missed something.
My input consists of some initial XML, XSL:FO and some small JPG images. I am using exactly the same source for both generating PDF's as I am to generate TIFF files. The only thing I am changing is the java implementation so the output will be in TIFF format. Do I have to specify anything in the java or XSL which is specific for TIFF files and will help me here? Cheers, Richard Java implementation is as follows: OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(fopOutputDir + fileRoot + ".tiff"); out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out); try { Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_TIFF, userAgent, out); //Setup Transformer Source xsltSrc = new StreamSource(fopDirectory + xslName); TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(xsltSrc); Source src = new StreamSource(fopOutputDir + fileRoot + ".xml"); //Make sure the XSL transformation's result is piped through to FOP Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler()); //Start the transformation and rendering process transformer.transform(src, res); -----Original Message----- From: Fernando T.

I never used this FOP's version, but check if there is any compression options for this kind of output. Using tools as Gimp or Photoshop could easily do this job, as well. Using LZW compression would cause a minor impact in the loss of quality than JPEG, in your compressed TIFF files. Probably better suggestions may arise in the list. Good luck ;-) Fernando Richard King wrote: > Hi all, > I currently use fop 0.92 to product PDF documents but have had a request to > also produce a TIFF documents.
