Mr. Tim,

Thank you for your response. That is actually a perfectly simple solution and surprisingly it did not even occur to me. Because of the code I already have in place, I think I will stick with stripping the metadata that is causing tiff2pdf to change my chosen order, but I will do some performance testing down the road to determine if your idea may be worthy of a rewrite.

Thank you all for your help and responses, it is very satisfying to go from having no solutions to having many!

Cheers,

I have run into what I consider an interesting bug. I have filed a bug report here but would http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2330, like further input if anyone has any ideas.

I am at the eve of a rather large project which I have been putting off as a result of this bug.

To summarize, after using tiffcp to concat multiple tiffs into a single multi-page tiff, the tiff image order is correct and as desired. If I run tiff2pdf on the resulting tiff file the resulting pdf has some pages out of order compared to the input tiff file.

If there is not a good solution for using tiff2pdf to retain image order I

having trouble pushing the project back further and it all hinges pretty much now on a proper linux based CLI tiff to pdf conversion.

Thank you all for any and all help!
