Java Exception question...

I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but here goes.  I have a loop 
that converts multi-page TIF files to single page JPEG files...my problem 
comes when the program converts the first page of the TIF successfully 
then throws an exception 
(java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException)...is there any possible way 
to completely ignore this exception within my code?  I realize this might 
be taboo, but my method does what i want it to do before it hits this 
exception...here's my code:

import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.awt.image.renderable.*;
import com.sun.media.jai.codec.*;
import javax.media.jai.*;

public class Tiff2JPEG {
        public static boolean doTiff2JPEG(String filename, String 
imageDir) {
                String sourceFilename = imageDir + filename;
                try {
                        FileSeekableStream stream = new 
FileSeekableStream(sourceFilename);
                        imageDecoder dec = 
ImageCodec.createImageDecoder("tiff", stream, null);
                        int numofpages = dec.getNumPages();
                        for (i = 0; i <= numofpages; i++) {
                                RenderedImage image = 
dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(i);
                                String targetFilename = imageDir + 
filename.substring(0, filename.lastIndexOf(".")) + i + ".jpg";
                                JAI.create("filestore", image, 
targetFilename, "JPEG");        // this creates the JPG successfully, then 
throws the exception...
                        }
                return true;
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        return false;
                }
        }
 
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                if (doTiff2JPEG("multicolor14pages.tif", "C:\test 
tiffs\")) {
                        System.out.println("JPG Creation Successful!");
                } else {
                        System.out.println("JPG Creation Unsuccessful!");
                }
        }
}
