I have had pain with not all views supporting multipage TIFFs. What you describe is implemented in this way inside the file: [TIFF header] ["Directory" of information for first page, including offset to next directory] [...Image data...] ["Directory" for second page] [...Image data...] ...etc... A lot of viewers only bother to look at the first directory and stop there. You therefore cannot rely on multipage TIFFs working for everyone. Most of the large imaging systems I have seen therefore avoid multipage TIFFs.
