Description

Tumble is a utility to construct PDF files from one or more image files. Supported input image file formats are JPEG, and black and white 1-bit TIFF (single- or multi-page). Black and white images will be encoded in the PDF output using lossless Group 4 fax compression (ITU-T recommendation T.6). This provides a very good compression ratio for text and line art. JPEG images will be preserved with the original coding. The general command line syntax is: tumble [options] <input>... -o <output.pdf> The options in this mode are: -v verbose -b <fmt> create bookmarks If the "-b" option is given, bookmarks will be created using the format string, which may contain arbitrary text and/or the following format specifiers: %F file name, sans suffix e.g., "foo.tif" will just appear as "foo" %p page number of input file, useful for multipage TIFF files
