[jbig2-dev] pdfTeX-JBIG2-Driver

[Hartmut Henkel]

Hi,

without any ideas in coding, I am sneaking into this list just because
of general interest in JBIG2 as high-compression B/W image standard.

On my homepage you find an experimental driver to include ready JBIG2
images into pdfTeX.

I mention this here, because it allows to produce PDF from JBIG2 images,
and to use Acroread 5 as (free) JBIG2 test decoder. E. g. the Linux
Acroread 5.05 shows all 042_*.jb2 images BUT 042_13.jb2, where it
complains about `Bad Error Code' (Any idea why?)

BTW so I found that the JBIG2 example on page 58 of Adobe's PDF
Reference 1.4 shows two letters C, stacked over each other.

Greetings Hartmut
