I rely heavily on Tiff files as all my incoming faxes are in a tif
format (via email). I have a work-a-round that I've started using.
It's not the most elegant thing but suffices until a fix for evince is
in..
First install ImageMagick.. Part of that package has a utility called
"convert". Since all my faxes are B&W this fix is primarily for non-
color multipage tiffs. It might work on multipage color tiff's but will
render them in B&W I think.
I first save the file then open terminal and manuver (sp?) to the
correct directory.. Now initiate the command.. "convert -monochrome
<input_file_name.tif> <output_file_name.pdf>" Ofcourse leave out the
quotes (") and the <>'s. This command will convert the file from tif to
pdf and allow evince to open it will all pages accessable.
There are ways to use the convert command without -monochrome. However,
I've found that it defaults to color and will render the new pdf with
much less clarity. -monochrome keeps the clarity of the original as
much as possible..
By the way, 28 pages convert in apx 15 seconds.. I wish I could script
well enough to implement this in a gui situation by highlighting the
saved file and right mouse clicking then choosing my "new" option of
conversion. Unfortunatly I'm not that talented.
