FITS format identification issues:
+
This table shows DROID, FileUtility and exifTool output for file extensions for which Archivematica has preservation and access plans.
*AI --> Portable Document Format
 
*RTF --> Correct format but five different versions
 
*TIFF --> Correct format but four different versions
