Tilman Hausherr commented on IMAGING-126:
-----------------------------------------

I recently improved the class mentioned in PDFBOX-1734, and one of the things I 
did was to set RowsPerStrip to the maximum. The ImageIO implementation did not, 
but their solution wasn't so bad, they probably had big strips. (I think I 
wrote this issue before that change)

I agree with your author that correctness-of-implementation has the highest 
priority. One has to start from there and then try optimizations, and hopefully 
have many tests.

Suggestion: put the rowsperstrip as optional parameter. And set a "good" 
default.

Re LZW compression: It might be useful to check whether the LZW compressor does 
exactly what the algorithm is about. I recently discovered an LZW encoded 
segment in a PDF that wasn't optimally encoded. Very weird. (This is not so 
difficult to look at that code; the LZW encoder is easier to understand than 
the decoder)



> TIFF and PNG images should not be bigger than the ones created by java ImageIO

> I tried to use Apache Imaging for the PDFBOX project (PDFBOX-1734) because of 
> problems with setting the tiff resolution in java imageio.
> While the code is pretty nice, I found that the generated images are 
> sometimes much bigger in size than the ones generated by java imageio.
> Example:
> pdfbox-1870-devicen3-01.png 50 KB (imageio)
> pdfbox-1870-devicen3.pdf-1.png 70 KB (imaging)
> pdfbox-1870-devicen3-01.tif 401 KB (imageio)
> pdfbox-1870-devicen3.pdf-1.tif 1063 KB (imaging)
