To make myself short.
Running tiff2pdf.exe without modifications, "tiff2pdf.exe -o test.pdf test36p.tif", on my WinXP SP3.
This generates a pdf containing all 36 pages, but in a wierd order. In the original file has the pagenumber printed in the top righthand corner. and the order of the pages is as follows:
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11the pdf is ordered 4,3,5,10,11,6,7,4,8,5,9,10,11,4,5,3,10,11,4,6,5,7,10,8,9,11,3,6,7,8,9,3,6,7,8,9
Some other files I've ran produce the same error, some other don't. It bugs me to not know why!
The tif-file is located here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5362998/test36p.tif The pdf that I produce can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5362998/test.pdf both are around 1,5MB.
Does this happen to everyone? What can I do about it?
Your TIFF is confusing. And for what it's worth, the same thing happens with tiff2pdf on Linux. If you look at tiffinfo output run against test36p.tif you'll see the matter:

Some pages have "PageNumber" tags in them, and some of them don't. And those pages that do have PageNumber tags in them contain PageNumber values that do not correspond to the TIFF Directory sequence number.
Thanks,
Lee.
