2005.09.09 00:44 "tiff2pdf.exe question", by Bill Burns

I'm running Tiff-3.7.3 on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 machine.

When I use tiff2pdf to convert a certain Tiff file, it appears to work 
OK, but when I open the pdf with Acrobat, I get the following error:

"Insufficient data for an image."

I get the same error whether it is opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0, 7.0 
or the 'full blown version' of 5.0.

This is the command I'm using:
tiff2pdf.exe -o Nbm001.pdf Nbm001.tif

Here's the output I get from from tiffinfo:
TIFF Directory at offset 0x8
   Subfile Type: (0 = 0x0)
   Image Width: 12000 Image Length: 16800
   Resolution: 400, 400 pixels/inch
   Bits/Sample: 1
   Compression Scheme: CCITT Group 4
   Photometric Interpretation: min-is-white
   Samples/Pixel: 1
   Rows/Strip: 16800
   Planar Configuration: single image plane
   DocumentName: buzzsaw.com

Here's the output I get from from tiffdump:

The Tiff file is 'sized' to print on Arch E1 (30 in. x 42 in.) paper. It 
is from a blueprint (a Mechanical drawing).

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error and how I can correct it?

Thanks for any help!
