TIFF Annotation

**Task:? Annotate TIFF with text & images** Type of Annotations: A.? **Required**: ? ? ? ? 1.? Signature/initials images with transparent background ? ? ? ? ? 2.? Text (i.e. free-text notes, dates, times) with transparent background ? ? ? ? 3.? ? Other images with non-transparent backgrounds B.? **Desirable**: ? ? ? ? 1.? Backcolor images (i.e. "highlighting") **Intended Use**: I intend to 1.? Convert (i.e. "print") ? pdf and other formats into an intermediate? TIFF file (using Tracker TIFF-XChange software? [printer driver], 2.? Annotate the TIFF with text and images 3.? Convert (i.e. "print") the TIFF back to a pdf with Tracker PDF-XChange software [printer driver]. **Reason for Approach**: 1. I need to annotate pdf's (sign, initial, date, comments) without the usual headaches of incompatible pdf formats, "locked" pdf's etc. 2.? I want the images, ESPECIALLY the signatures/initials to be an integral part of the final pdf, not a copyable/modifiable separate annotation image.? My object is to avoid easy changes to the annotations, and to avoid providing a copyable/transportable image of my signature/initials **Request for Bid: **1.? **Primarily**, provide the limited annotation capability described? for the TIFF 2.? **Secondarily**, provide a semi-automated way to manage the creation of the intermediate TIFF, annotating it, and "printing" it back to pdf, and deleting the TIFF file on successful creation of the annotated pdf from it. ## Deliverables See previous
