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:

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!
