Multipage TIFF Creator

This adapter creates a Multipage Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) document from image files of type BMP, GIF, FlashPix, JPEG, PNG, PNM, TIFF and WBPM. The image files are specified in an adapter-specific input XML document. The adapter outputs a multi-page TIFF image as a binary data stream with a maximum size of 4 GB

Parameters

Adapter	Main class of the adapter (do not change!) Possible values: `de.softproject.integration.adapter.tiff.Img2Tiff`: Main class (default)
compression	Compression type Possible values: `Deflate`: Compress lossless via deflate `JPEG`: Use JPEG compression (lossy) `None`: Do not compress (default) `Packbits`: Compress losslessly via PackBits run-length encoding.
deflateLvl	Deflate level (if Deflate compression type is selected and Deflate compression is to be applied to the entire TIFF document). Possible values: Any integer from `1-9` (compresses fastest at `1`, most verbose at `9`). `0`: Do not apply Deflate compression to the entire TIFF (default).
resX	Horizontal screen/print resolution value Possible values: Any integer (e.g. 72) 0: Do not set any resolution value
resY	Vertical screen/print resolution value Possible values: Any integer (e.g. 72) 0: Do not set any resolution value
resUnit	Unit for screen/print resolution Possible values: `No absolute unit`: Do not set an absolute unit `Inch`: Use inch as unit (DPI or PPI) `Centimeter`: Use centimetre as unit

`1`	The operation was executed successfully.
`-1`	The operation failed due to a technical error.

Input

This adapter expects an adapter-specific input XML structure in which all image files to be processed are referenced via a valid URL protocol. You can use an optional thumbnail_scale attribute to specify whether a scaled version of the image should also be inserted as a page in the TIFF file. The attribute value specifies the scaling factor.

HTML/XML

<imagechooser>
   <image url="URL zur Bilddatei" thumbnail_scale="Skalierungsfaktor" />
</imagechooser>

Example

The following input XML structure references two images, one via xstore:// from the X4 repository, the second via an absolute path specification with file://. The function adapter creates a three-page TIFF file that contains the first image unchanged, the version of the first image reduced by 50% on the second page, and the second image on the third page.

   <image url="xstore://Folder/Image.tif" thumbnail_scale="0.5" />
