TIFF Data Specifications
TIFF files that can be processed
This section explains the TIFF filter's file processing limitations. The TIFF filter
can process only TIFF files that are compliant with “TIFF Revision 6.0” (Adobe
Developers Association, June 1992).
Note
❒ The TIFF filter might be able to process non-compliant TIFF files, but the out-
put is likely to be incorrect, depending on the size of the image.
TIFF header
TIFF data requires the header values shown in the table below.
TIFF directory
If the data is multi-page TIFF:
• Both the directory and data must be divided by page.
• The last four bytes of each directory must contain a pointer to the subsequent
page, and the pointer value must increase in keeping with the page order.
Note
❒ The pointer value for both single page TIFF data and the last page of multi-
page TIFF data must be “0x00000000”.
• The page order must be the same as the intended output order.
Field Values
Byte order 0x4d4d or 0x4949
