Embedding TIFF in PDF results in huge filesize
I am embedding TIFF images into a PDF document to enable users to watch and
print the images from their browser without having a tiff-plugin. The TIFF
images are usually at 200 - 300 dpi (black/white) and use CCITT Fax Gr.4
compression. Embedding them in the PDF results in a filesize nearly 4 times
bigger than the original TIFF (e.g. the Tiff is 57 kByte, the resulting PDF
is 183 kBytes). Is there a way to reduce the filesize of the generated PDF?
Thanks for you help,
Michael Bellinger

See my answer to Phil Dickinson just a few moments ago. It seems to
apply to you, too.
Here's the link:

One option you could try is using batik with svg. I believe that batik
can handle the tiff image and it could output jpg, png, I don't know
what size it would end up at though.
