Preview 3.0.7 Unable to View Multi-page TIFF Files

I currently use fax-to-email service from j2 to receive my faxes; the faxes arrive in TIFF (.tif) format, and opened by Preview to view/print. After updating to OS X 10.4.7, the new version of Preview (3.0.7) broke the multi-page TIFF support again. Only the first page could be viewed, so I am forced to use Graphic Converter in the meantime, but really very inconvenient. This is the second time Preview is broken after Tiger update, Apple should really test it more thoroughly before releasing it as a lot of people depend on fax-to-email services for work purposes these days.

I am getting faxes emailed from microsoft fax server and although the attachment clearly has all pages in the tiff file (I can save the file, then view it from an external windows based viewer), I can only see the first page in preview.
I am using OS X 10.4.7 on a macbook with preview 3.0.7.
Even within the sidebar window by clicking on the drawer icon, I do not see multiple pages. I see a single page with a little grey circle with the number of pages in it in the lower right hand corner of the page image in the sidebar indicating the proper number of pages, but there is no way to change pages.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)
edit:
Never mind I didn't read the previous message closely enough. It works for me after all. I am new to the OS X interface and didn't notice the tiny little triangle pointer beside the page in the sidebar.
If you click it to "expand" the contents of the page it does in fact show me all my fax pages.
I agree with Fred that this is in no way intuitive and I never would have guessed on my own.
In any case problem solved. Thank you.

  • Viewing Multi Page tiff  files received as email attachments on the iPhone

    I have spent hours trying to find a solution or a work-around to the problem of viewing multi page tiff ( .tif) email attachments on my iPhone 3G running 3.0. I have only ever been able to view the first page of these files.
    Finally I decided to come up with my own solution. I have recently launched the website www.econvertimage.com. Anyone can now freely email tiff files to the site from their phone. These files are converted to pdf and then returned to the sender for viewing on their phone.
    You can set up an auto forward for attachments coming from specific senders if you like. This way you will often receive the converted file at the same time as the original email. Visit the site for further details.
    I hope this post may save others the frustration I've endured over the last few weeks looking for a solution.
    I'm interested in future improvements people are keen to see for the site. I'll keep developing the functionality if there's a need. I look forward to receiving comments and feedback.
    Thanks

    Sounds perfect - is it operational? Sent a test message this morning, never received the PDF.

  • Unable to view Multi-page Tif G4 Compressed files

    Is any one aware of a product(free would be best); that will permit Mac (various operating system versions) desktops to view Tif image files?
    Tif file format we are using, the viewer must be able to view:
    G4 compression;
    Multi-page tif,
    Interestingly enough the Ipad's are able to view our compressed files without additional software, but the Preview application that comes on Mac's we have in house and employee's who have Mac's at home that tryingto use for work are not able to view our highly compressed images.
    We have software for our PC systems that permit the viewing/editing of our images without problems. Unfortunately, the software is not compatible with Mac's.
    No, their is no option to convert out TiF to a different compression, with our high volumn of scanning we need the high compression for our scanning of documents as is.
    The only work around we have is for staff that are using Mac's in order for them to view documents at home, internal staff must take the time to convert the files to PDF format.

    It's an HP P3005dn (duplex+network) printer. OS X simply recognized the printer on the network and set itself up accordingly (without the option of selecting PCL or Postscript). The Windows computers in the office, though, - ugh - it was ugly getting them set up. None of them would recognize the printer on the network, and couldn't even browse for it and find it. I wound up having to download Bonjour for windows, and set it up that way. I downloaded the drivers from HP.com, and believe I set them all up to print using PCL.
    It sounds like PCL v. PostScript may be the issue; is it possible to print using PCL on Macs?

  • Can I create multi page TIFF files in PSE?

    I wish to use a Canon TWAIN driver running a single page scanner to create multiple page TIFF files. Can anyone tell me whether this is possible in PSE please?

    No. That is not possible with PSE.

  • Converting Multi page .eps files to .pdf Preview is broken

    I have in the past used Preview to convert multi page .eps files into
    .pdf files. Since I have upgraded to Tiger 10.4.3 Preview will no longer work.
    Does anyone know how to uninstall Tiger 3.03 version and go back to 2.xx version? Are there any utilities to do this for me? On my older mac (9.x) I have Adobe distiller.
    Thanks

    I have just copies the older version of Preview onto this machine and am running 2.10 of Preview to solve this problem.

  • Multi-page Tiff attachments and iPad

    Hello,
    I like very much The ipad,and i use IT everywere is possible:from browsing The web to writing emails,from playing games to listening to music.
    But there's a big problem:i can't read multi-page tiff that I use very much within my enterprise.
    I can only read The first page of these files,other pages seems to not exist.
    I've made many tries:installing readdle docs and other applications didn't solve The problem (also these applications showed only The first page) and both mail application and gmail browser client show a question mark as attached file in preview, i can download this as image but still I can only see The first page.
    Did anybody managed to solve The problem? Google didn't...
    Thank you very much!
    Andrea

    Actually as the author of Fax Reader we opened a official problem/engineering report with Apple about the issue, and were advised the Mail engineering team actually DID NOT have any trouble tickets open in how Mail deals with TIFF documents. They must be deaf? Given that maybe someday they will offer a FIX based on our paid for engineering ticket. But you are welcome to wait forever? for them to offer up a fix. Good luck with that decision, your lawyer might offer up a one of these stupid document and charge you $4.95 a page for the offer. PDF ? Ya we've an app TOO for that!

  • Getting Page Count for a Multi-Page PDF file using Illustrator script?

    Does anyone know how to get the page count of a multi page PDF file?  I know you can then open each page using the PDFFileOptions (pagetoopen).  But I need to know up front how many pages there are to loop thru to open each page and process each page.
    Any Ideas?

    This script i did for photoshop:
    OK so lets do it working on WIN and MAC without any shell script.
    This solution is not the best but its working.
    I used Try catch to solve it.
    Only issue is that you should at least somehow know how many pages you expect in pdf.. this mean if you are working with books or flyers...
    Then set the maxPagesCount to that number.
    I am working with pdfs with max 20pages.. so i start open the 20 then 19 then 18 and when i am success i know the amount of pages.
    Its not the quicker way but its usable.
    var maxPagesCount = 20;
    var actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
    var opts1 = new PDFOpenOptions();
    opts1.usePageNumber = true;
    opts1.antiAlias = true;
    opts1.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
    opts1.resolution = 10; //it will load faster the test page
    opts1.suppressWarnings = true;
    opts1.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX;
    myFunction = function () {
      try { 
          app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
          var fileList = openDialog();
          for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
            actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
            getPagesCount(fileList[i],maxPagesCount);
            alert(actPagesCount);
      } catch (exception) { 
        alert(exception);
    getPagesCount = function (checkFile, lastPageID) {
      try {          
        for (var checkPage = lastPageID; checkPage > 0; checkPage--) {
          opts1.page = checkPage;                    
          var docRef = open(checkFile, opts1, false);                  
          docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);                  
          actPagesCount = lastPageID;                  
          return;                  
          checkPage=0;                              
      } catch (exception) {
        // Look for next page        
        checkPage--;        
        getPagesCount(checkFile,checkPage);

  • How To Convert Multi Page Tiff Image Through open office in application

    I will Appreciate Any Effort Or Reply Which Can Tell Me , To convert a multi-page tiff image in pdf format in application i.e not on desktop using simple open -office but through coding. I doubt if there Exists Ny Plugin Or Separate Library Which Can Do Tht.  Code Or Library inJava Language will Be Preferable

    Your question does not make any sense. First, PDF does not support multi-page TIFFs. DO you have a PDF that you are trying to convert to WORD or what. It is unclear of what you are starting with and what your end goal is. If you are dealing with coding, you may need to check the SDK forum, but trying to understand what you are trying to do would be a good idea first.

  • Displaying multi page tiff images

    Hi there
    I need to display a multipage tiff image, such that I can scroll through the different pages n the tiff file. I am new to ni vision and hence your inputs would be very helpful.

    Take a look at this thread.  You'll need to download the libtiff DLL here. 
    I managed to get it working in about 5 minutes, and could load a
    multi-page tiff into an array, and then split it into multiple Images.  The code is not the nicest, but it'll do the basics.  Alternatively you could try getting the .NET version of libtiff and calling it directly.
    Cheers ~ Greg

  • ___When I have a multi page Ai file and 'Save as', it saves more than just the page I specified

    When I have a multi page Ai fil e (50 pages) and 'Save as', it saves more than just the single page I specified (ie. Range 1-1)... it saves all 50 over again? How do I just save 1 of the 50?

    Just answered my own question - if I use 'Save a copy' it works... must be a glitch

  • How to do batch printing of multi-page TIFF images

    I have TIFF images stored in the database as BLOB. The TIFF images can have one or multiple pages. I need to do batch printing of these images using Oracle Web Reports 6i in a 3-tier web environment. I was able to print single-page TIFF image by using an "Image" datatype; however when I print multi-page TIFF image, only the first page is printed.
    Is there a way to achieve my requirement in Oracle Web Reports 6i. If not, can you please suggest any alternative method. Our environment is 9iAS Release 1 on Windows/2000, Oracle 8.1.7 db,Forms 6i and Reports 6i.
    Thank you.

    Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm currently fighting this same issue. Only the first page of my multi-page TIFF documents are printing.

  • Can't open multi-page illustrator file

    I'm on a mac. I have Illustrator CC. I'm trying to open a multi-page .ai file, and I get the dialogue that usually happens when you're trying to open a non-illustrator multi-page pdf. :
    here's a screenshot:
    http://grab.by/yNEg
    when I do a get info on the file, it says Saved As v.15 Created by v.15.0.0
    How can I open this file and get all the artboards without running a script? I want to retain all the text formatting.
    thanks!

    That usually happens when files get corrupted and only the PDF part of the file is still intact.
    Did you perhaps save it directly to or open it directly from a server?

  • Unable to view next page of report in Crystal Viewer using JAVA

    CA Forum: JAVA
    We have been able to successfully deploy a report through Crystal viewer XI /Java /Sun Solaris, report works fine, able to suppress group tree, but unable to veiw 2nd page of report.    The suppression of the group tree in the web page required a simple command , is there one that allows us to proceed to the next page?  I am not JAVA savvy so I will be communicating this to the person who will be making the correction, please pardon me if I left something out.
    Thank you!

    It's not clear whether your issue is with the Page Navigation controls not working, or whether you wish to programmatically skip the first page and go to the next page.  If the latter, then the CrystalReportViewer class has a showNthPage method.
