multipage tiff viewer?

[jpeps]

jpeps,

it's hard to say what may be causing the errors, if you don't specify what they are! Otherwise, you can try Aitch's suggestion & try & use qfaxreader.

Sorry...I guess I was just responding to whether the binaries worked in Dingo rather than looking for a fix. When running tiff2pdf, it started out okay, and then got stuck:

Code: Select all

2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c
bash: 2c1: command not found

With tiffsplit I got:

Code: Select all

TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /mnt/hda3/MyFiles/Psychology/Cred Pkt.tif: unknown field with tag 50221 (0xc42d) encountered.

there's also qfaxreader

Thanks...that works nicely (with qt3.3.8 )

@jpeps,

I don't know what all those 2c1's mean, but I just rebooted into pup4, downloaded this tiff image, then successfully created a .pdf using tiff2pdf. I also had success using:

sam2p dscf1665.tiff dscf1665.pdf

Jpeps,

what are you using on the command line for tiff2pdf.
You need to specifiy the options or it outputs garbage to the terminal

Example:
tiff2pdf -f -o outputfile.pdf inputfile.tif

Its not as intuitive as some may think.

Ah...that was the problem; you have to specify the output file or it spits out garbage, as you say. I still got a bunch of warnings, but the resulting pdf appears okay.

With tiffsplit, there are no options, so you can't specify an output file. I found the output files in /root.

Edit: This worked: tiffsplit file.tif output/dir
Maybe useage could be included in man tiffsplit ?

Hi all,
Tschuss Mark,

cd /usr/bin/
ls -1 tiff*

tiffcp
tiffdiff
tiffdither
tiffdump
tiffgt
tifficc
tiffinfo
tiffmedian
tiffset
tiffsplit
tifftopnm

I had to use tiff2pdf this way to get a result:

Code: Select all

# tiff2pdf file.tiff -o file.pdf
# ls
# file.tiff  file.pdf
#

and NOT this

Code: Select all

# tiff2pdf -o file.tiff file.pdf

Cheers
Charlie

GIMP will open multi-page tif or tiff
