Convert an image to high quality PDF, Redux

In a previous post I explained how to Convert an image to PDF with Gimp, but the quality of the picture in the PDF turned out to be rather poor for printing purpose.

So here is an other way, install tiff2pdf .

On Ubuntu for instance :

sudo apt-get install libtiff-tools

Then save your image as a tiff image, then use tiff2pdf to convert it to a PDF. For example, for an A4 sized PDF :

tiff2pdf -p A4  -o foo.pdf foo.tiff

For a multiple pages PDF, preprocess your TIFF files with tiffcp

tiffcp foo1.tiff foo2.tiff foo3.tiff totalfoo.tiff
