JBIG2 support coming (very) soon
More and more PDF files are landing in our inbox that use JBIG2 image compression. We were not planning on adding support for JBIG2 until later in the year, but due to popular demand, we’ve decided to support it much sooner.
So the next version, 7.22, will support JBIG2 compression. We should have a beta ready in 1-2 weeks. Most of the development for this feature has been done and now we’re just testing and optimizing.
If you have any PDF files that use JBIG2 compression please send them to me at rowan.hanna@debenu.com and I will add them to our repository of testing files.
I’ m looking for a library which creates JBIG2 from TIF and which is able to create PDF’s from multiple JBIG2 images. PDF must be PDF/A 1b and must be streaming capable (Fast Web Access=Yes)

Hi Bruno,
Just to confirm — do you want to render a PDF to a TIFF image that uses JBIG2 compression? Or do you want to convert a TIFF image to PDF which uses JBIG2 for image compression and also enable fast web access?
We plan on adding support for PDF/A 1b later this year.
Cheers,
– Rowan.

It’s a TIFF image with JBIG2 compression which I want to convert to PDF.
