tiffer

A simple tiff concatenation and filter program for C++ demonstration purposes only.

Requirements

• libtiff-4.0.3
• C++11 compiler

Compile and Run (on Linux)

g++ -ltiff src/main.cpp src/args.cpp src/tiffer.cpp -o tiffer

Examples

./tiffer -help
./tiffer -version

Concatenate tiff files:

./tiffer test/*.tif -output all.tif

Concatenate tiff files removing blank pages:

./tiffer test/*.tif -output noblank.tif -remove-blank

Concatenate tiff files removing blank pages, omit pages 2,4,5-9 from output, and overwrite existing file:

./tiffer test/*.tif -clobber -output noblank.tif -remove-blank -remove-pages 2,4,5-9

Limitations

• Tiled tiff files are not supported in this version.
• Some older encodings such as ThuderScan, OJPEG, etc. are not supported.

TODO

• Handle tiled images.
• Distinguish between encoded and unencoded files.
• Support older formats.

Some problems have been documented when applying tiffer to sample tif images.
