I'm running into some issues in trying to create a PDF that consists of several TIF images using PDFBox 3.0.3. :(
I tried several different approaches, but none have worked so far. I get essentially blank pages with a black line on each page. :(
Attempt 1
PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
for (int i=0;i 5;i++)
{
String sTIFFpath = sRootDir+i;
PDPage page = new PDPage();
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);
}

PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
for (int i=0;i 5;i++)
{
String sTIFFpath = sRootDir+i;
PDPage page = new PDPage();
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);
}

The line that creates the image generates an exception. However, the image object is generated and retuned. Looking at the generated PDF I see essentially blank pages with a single blank line in them.
Here is the stack trace of the exception
2024-09-29 19:49:26,490 DEBUG PDImageXObject - Reading as TIFF failed, setting fileType to PNG

2024-09-29 19:49:26,490 DEBUG PDImageXObject - Reading as TIFF failed, setting fileType to PNG

To get around the exception, I replaced the line that generates the image with the following 2 lines:
BufferedImage biTiff = ImageIO.read(new File(sTIFFpath));

BufferedImage biTiff = ImageIO.read(new File(sTIFFpath));

That added quite a bit of time to my program execution but got rid of the exception. However the resulting PDF is the same. :(
After lots of searches I found yet another approach. Again I replaced the single line that creates the image with the following code multitude:
