Issue writing TIFF data to pipe with pdftocairo
I'm able to convert a PDF page to TIFF using pdftocairo as follows:
pdftocairo -singlefile -tiff file.pdf - > file.tiff
However, if I pipe the result into another program, I error messages like these:
TIFFAppendToStrip: Maximum TIFF file size exceeded.
TiffWriter: Error writing tiff row 2
TIFFAppendToStrip: Maximum TIFF file size exceeded.
TiffWriter: Error writing tiff row 4
TIFFAppendToStrip: Maximum TIFF file size exceeded.
TiffWriter: Error writing tiff row 6
...
and there are only 8 bytes of output. For instance:
$ pdftocairo -singlefile -tiff file.pdf - 2> /dev/null | hexdump
0000000 4949 002a 0000 0000
0000008
Is this a bug?
