wow, I'm amazed!
Been using multi-page tifs mostly for archive of scanned documents (at work), and similar for myself at home after scanning my own docs, for at least 10 years.
Certainly widely used for such things on Unix and general IBM for many years.
At home I used Kodak's 'Imaging' (built-in to pre-Windows XP OS).
If you have a selection of scanned pages as single files, you just add them to the first file. The file ends up having pages like a book. All are saved as one compressed file.
On Windows XP you use the 'Fax and Document Viewer'.
To view on a PC you just click on it. It opens with 'forward' and 'back' arrows to skip through the pages. I find them really useful.
I'm also a Mac user of old, but my old OS 8.6 couldn't deal with these .tifs, I was hoping newer ones could.
I'll have to think again about my instruction manuals.
This is bad news for me - maybe Mac users don't have much use for many pages of archived docs!
I'm really gutted about this! Oh well. I wonder if there's an application out there anywhere (shareware or whatever) that can open them?
many thanks for your reply, I'll post here if I find anything in case anyone is interested.
best regards,
Ian
