PIL doesn't support compressed TIF files. You must uncompress them prior to trying to place them. I use tiffcp utility via os.system call to uncompress TIF files, then place them into my .PDF file.

Hello,
I am trying to produce pdf files from tiffs and I keep getting this error. Does anyone
have any tips on this one. I am using the ReportLab package with the PIL.

raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name)
IOError: decoder group4 not available
