Hi
A few weeks ago, I scanned a set of SEM images on a Mac OSX connected scanner and saved them as tif files. I transferred these files to my Debian laptop, and tried converting them to .png images using :
convert $1.tif $1.png
Now when I include these in my tex document and run pdflatex, it completely messes up my PDF bookmarks (if I replace these converted png images with some vanilla png images, everything is fine). I can still view and print the document, but the electronic form of the document is a mess.
If I try to view these tif files, with xv, it quits with segmentation fault. kuickview does show the images but with a slew of errors in the console log.
tiffinfo yields :
tiffinfo bst1.tif
bst1.tif: Warning, unknown field with tag 700 (0x2bc) ignored. bst1.tif: Warning, unknown field with tag 34665 (0x8769) ignored. TIFF Directory at offset 0x8
Subfile Type: (0 = 0x0)
Image Width: 1545 Image Length: 1228
Resolution: 300, 300 pixels/inch
Bits/Sample: 16
Compression Scheme: LZW
Photometric Interpretation: min-is-black
Date & Time: "2004:06:05 17:31:01"
Software: "Adobe Photoshop 7.0"
Samples/Pixel: 1
Rows/Strip: 2
Planar Configuration: single image plane
Photoshop Data: <present>, 9018 bytes
RichTIFFIPTC Data: <present>, 2 bytes
Apparently these 700 and 34665 tags are causing some problem (there are some issues which I found on Google that these tags throw up in other contexts as well – see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=5790&a mp;max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=200403 ).
Is there some tool that I could use to get rid of these pesky tags that are probably (and feel free to suggest otherwise if something else is the cause) causing these headaches ?
Thanks.
PS : I understand now why pdflatex does not support tif natively any longer.
