Hi
I need to handle TIFF images within a web application. The files often contain multiple pages (multiple images). They are the result of scanning processes over which I have no control.
I have tried several TIFF display technologies (plug-ins, streamers, applets, etc.) and all seem to have some flaw that render them really unfriendly to use.
My approach now is to convert the TIFF images on the server when requested and offer them to the user in two formats (ideal approach).
A) for viewing: JPEG
😎 for saving and printing: PDF
I understand that I could use ImageMagick via exec() commands to create JPEG and PDF on the fly. But I was wondering if anybody has a better solution or idea.
Cheers
Marc
