My background is in GIS; I work a lot with GeoTIFFs (TIFF files with a world file that tells a GIS where in the world that image belongs). They are almost always single page TIFFs, so I don't have MUCH to offer in the way of advice. Still, the idea occurs to me: Have you considered converting th

It is the quantity, all of the machine drawings are in tiff format. And every time there is a drawing change I would have to re- do it.

It's cumbersome, but I've used GIMP in Linux to pull these things up page by page. Be careful if it's a large TIFF though, since they're memory hungry and I've had freezes when a really large one tries to unpack all its pages (I usually select just a few pages at a time). Randy Stapilus Ridenbaugh
