Question

Would it be possible for someone to point me to the general direction on how to convert from CCITT Group4 to JBIG and/or JBIG2 compression? This would be for either single page and multi page tiffs.

Was it helpful?

Solution

After further research into the source code it is not possible with libtiff.net as the compression type JBIG is only a placeholder in the library and the codec is not actually implemented. For those looking for an answer to this I ended up using the Jbig2Enc from the following links...
