Thank you for using and testing Ghostscript. Accerding to the TIFF 6 spec, if PageNumber[1] is 0, the total number of pages in the document is not available. Ghostscript cannot determine the number of pages in the PostScript file before finishing the file. Patching the TIFF file at the end is not always possible - the output device may not be seekable. The TIFF file doesn't violate the spec, and improvements are difficult (or impossible) to implement. Closing the bug report as "won't fix". Ghostscript has a new TIFF device based on libtiff but all statements from the comment #1 still hold. Besides, there were no other requests to add a total number of pages to the generated tiff. |
