RE: Problem with multi-paged TIFFs

2002-06-18 Thread Padmanabhan, Shobana

I have been looking at org.apache.fop.image.JAIImage.loadImage() and I do
not understand where the number of images is checked. Using
com.sun.media.jai.codec.*, this can be done as 
ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(tiff,
aSeekableStream, null); and then
dec.getNumPages();
but I do not know if it is a good idea to use codec classes as they may be
deprecated.

Let me now explain a little bit about what I am trying to do. We are looking
for a way to generate PDFs in Java each with some data and multi-paged
TIFFs. Along with FOP, we are planning to look at Big Faceless(!) PDF
library, iText, PDFLib, etc. Our production environment is AIX and
development Windows 2000. In the first release, we are expecting to generate
about 16,000 PDFs with an average size of 170KB each, in a window of 3 hours
or so.

Can FOP handle this? I would greatly appreciate any info about performance,
comments on the above-mentioned products and other recommendations.

Thanks again,
Shobana

I tried with JAIImage for TIFF in FopImageFactory and the problem persists.
Is there work going on to support multi-paged TIFF images?

Thanks,
Shobana

 see only the first page. I'm using FOP 0.20.3. Any suggestions on this?

Yes. Use only one main image.

Not that I'm aware of. How do you think should multi-page
TIFFs be rendered? The spec only provides for one rectangular
area to be filled...
