Open a TIFF in Image-UI

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to open a Tiff in a Image-UI or LinkToAction-UI. Until now i try it with jpeg and it works fine, but if i use a Tiff-File it doesn't work.

Should i use another UI-Element to open a Tiff-File?

regards,

Sharam

Hi, We own livelink which comes with the default javaviewer which opens the TIFF images in a browser automatically.

Also, Brava reader opens up the TIFF images in a browser but the software expires every 6 months or so and needs to be deployed again.

There is one more option (alterna tiff viewer) which does the trick too.

All the options above involve installing some kind of software on the users desktop.

Hope this helps and this is what you are looking for.

What JDK are you using?

If you are on 5+, you can try ImageIO package.

Hallo Sharam,

Web Dynpro supports those MIME types which are supported by the browsers too. If you want to display TIFF files you must convert them into GIF, JPG or PNG on server-side befor. TIF is an un-compressed, lossless image format which is not very suitable for the web, consequently it is not supported by browsers.
