Re: tiff2pdf looses information?

There's a thumbnail stored, usually image alternates are there to speed up
display. Displaying the image doesn't generally entail decompressing the
image in the PDF viewer. But you do have to load the entire page if it is
optimized for web. Otherwise you have to download the complete PDF. Which is
almost counter-PDF. The whole idea being that any PDF viewer on any platform
can view the contents and that each page is a self-contained document that
doesn't need resources from other pages to be rendered.
