Re: TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy
It would seem that the real issue is that some code I was using was doing an implicit convert of the tif image to jpeg before the transformation took place. Sorry to bother.

Re: TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy
Thanx Manuel, The problem turned out to be a utility class using JAI that preprocesses the image and, if image format not specified, defaults to JPEG ... NASTY. For some reason, too, JAI will not read a tiff that we compress using group 3 1D or 2D encoding. For the time being will continue to use png images, however, still unhappy with the amount of memory and processing time this requires. Angus Manuel Mall wrote: Angus, have you got JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) in your FOP environment (see http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html)? If not that may be the problem as the TIFF support relies on the presence of JAI. If JAI is not available it defaults to using JIMI and that again will DCT encode your images as JIMI has only very limited support for the TIFF format.

RE: TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy
Angus, let me know if you need any more help with this - I was the culprit who submitted the support for the CCFFilter to FOP. We needed it as we render lots of incoming faxes into PDF. But they are Group 4 encoded.
