If the input TIFF 65file is of huge dimensions (greater than 10000 pixels height 66or width) convert the input image to a tiled TIFF if it is 67not already.</p> 68<!-- INDENTATION --> 69<p>The standard output is standard output. Set the output 70file name with the <b>−o</b> <i>output.pdf</i> 71option.</p> 72<!-- INDENTATION --> 73<p>All black and white files are compressed into a single 74strip CCITT G4 Fax compressed PDF, unless tiled, where tiled 75black and white images are compressed into tiled CCITT G4 76Fax compressed PDF, <i>libtiff</i> CCITT support is 77assumed.</p> 78<!-- INDENTATION --> 79<p>Color and grayscale data can be compressed using either 80JPEG compression, ITU-T T.81, or Zip/Deflate LZ77 81compression. Set the compression type using the 82<b>−j</b> or <b>−z</b> options. JPEG compression 83support requires that <i>libtiff</i> be configured with JPEG 84support, and Zip/Deflate compression support requires that 85<i>libtiff</i> be configured with Zip support, in 86tiffconf.h. Use only one or the other of <b>−j</b> and 87<b>−z.</b></p> 88<!-- INDENTATION --> 89<p>If the input TIFF contains single strip CCITT G4 Fax 90compressed information, then that is written to the PDF file 91without transcoding, unless the options of no compression 92and no passthrough are set, <b>−d</b> and 93<b>−n.</b></p> 94<!-- INDENTATION --> 95<p>If the input TIFF contains JPEG or single strip 96Zip/Deflate compressed information, and they are configured, 97then that is written to the PDF file without transcoding, 98unless the options of no compression and no passthrough are 99set.</p> 100<!-- INDENTATION --> 101<p>The default page size upon which the TIFF image is placed 102is determined by the resolution and extent of the image 103data. Default values for the TIFF image resolution can be 104set using the <b>−x</b> and <b>−y</b> options. 105The page size can be set using the <b>−p</b> option 106for paper size, or <b>−w</b> and <b>−l</b> for 107paper width and length, then each page of the TIFF image is 108centered on its page. The distance unit for default 109resolution and page width and length can be set by the 110<b>−u</b> option, the default unit is inch.</p> 111<!-- INDENTATION --> 112<p>Various items of the output document information can be 113set with the <b>−e</b>, <b>−c</b>, 114<b>−a</b>, <b>−t</b>, <b>−s</b>, and 115<b>−k</b> options. Setting the argument of the option 116to "" for these tags causes the relevant document 117information field to be not written. Some of the document 118information values otherwise get their information from the 119input TIFF image, the software, author, document name, and 120image description.</p> 121<!-- INDENTATION -->
