Unable to add Group3/Group4 TIFFs into Version 1.2.0 about openpdf HOT 4 CLOSED

@andreasrosdal I pulled the latest master version and ran it on my code and it is working correctly now.

Unfortunately I do not have many suggestions on how to improve this - it certainly makes the most sense to offload this piece to another project. I think the downside is that commons-imaging has been "in progress" for many years at this point.

Thanks for looking at this so quickly, I just wanted to note the issue and not so much make you feel like you had to fix it :-).

Yes, the reason for this is that images are now read by Apache Sanselan (Commons Imaging), which seems to be unable to read those types of TIFF images.

I have been able to reproduce this problem with loading .TIFF files with group 3/4, with Apache Sanselan version 0.97-incubator.

I have tested Apache Commons Imaging version 1.0-SNAPSHOT, and that was fortunately able to load a .TIFF image with Group 3 correctly. So in time, this will work correctly, once Apache Commons Imaging has a proper maven release to the public maven repo.

I have updated the master branch of OpenPDF to use Apache Commons Imaging version 1.0-SNAPSHOT.

@jsorah Can you perhaps please try the latest master branch and see if that works correctly?
Do you have any suggestions about how to improve this? The old method of loading .tiff files had to be removed, and this project must use a software library to load .tiff files from now on.

As described in issue #92, a new release of Commons-Imaging is likely to come very soon,

(Closing as a duplicate of #92).
