Hi, I had the same problem. The solution is to use JAI-ImageIO to read those terric tiffs. I read the image with imageio means into a BufferedImage, encode it to a byte array as a JPEG image and then read with iText methods into an iText Image.
ImageIO is able to read almost any (really) strange tiff image, I encode it to JPEG because otherwise the image will get too large (hint of Paolo) and then can use it again with iText. Be aware of IIO, since it's more performant when the native libs are used as well. BTW, I only use ImageIO, if one of the tiff pages is not readable correctly by iText.
