Viewing tif files - not tiff

I am using iWS 4.1 to serve my tif files viewed by IE5.x
The problem is that on some platforms, the request comes for a tiff file rather than tif and of course the file does not exists and user gets an error.
Can we setup iWS to return tif file when a request comes for a tiff file? I hear IIS has such a feature.
Thanks,

You guys are not getting my point.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8/9 for creating a PDF that picks up text files and image (Jpg, bmp, tif) files from a network shared folder and inserts them into an empty Template PDF file by making use of Acrobat events through Javascript.
This all works fine as long I dont include any Tif file and PDF is created successfully.
Now all other file types including text files, jpgs, gif are opening up but problem is with .tif files.
You can check this by directly opening image files in Adobe Acrobat Profesional 8/9 from File --> Open menu option.
Other images will open up but most Tif files won't open in it. Such tif files also not open in "Winodws Picture and Fax Viewer" software but will open in softwares like "Imaging Professional" , "IrfanView" etc, which I think use some special codec for it.
If you know of any Acrobat plugin that can be incorporated in Acrobat professional and convert these tif files to PDF on the fly, would be of great help or have some any other suggestion you feel is right.
Thanks

Not sure but maybe some exotic compression? Where did you get
that TIFFs
and how they were prepared?

Trouble viewing .tif files in bridge?

When I open a folder of images in Bridge I can see the CR2 files but the edited .tif files only appear as a generic .tif icon, and when I press the space bar to try to preview them larger I get that same icon. I can see some of the .tifs as the icons but when I try to view those larger it's only a tiny preview image, like a 1"x1" icon. The only way I can view the images is to physically open each one in photoshop

CR2 files are raw Canon files. If you can open them, it means your OK as far as the installation of the proper version of the ACR Plugin.
If you can't see the thumbnails of the TIFFs but you can open the files themselves in Photoshop by double-clicking on them, then all you may have to do is Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu of Bridge Tools > Cache > Purge cache for folder "name_of_folder".
Note that I am flying blind here as you haven't provided any sensible, meaningful and detailed information about your setup.
If you gave some sensible, complete and detailed information, someone may be able to help you, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, etc.

Viewing TIF files in Mac OS X v4

Hello:
I have been sent some files in TIF format but I cannot find a way to view these files in Mac OS X (10.4). I have confirmed that the files are not corrupted, since I can transfer them to a Windows PC and view them there, but OS X does not appear to have a file viewer that can read them.
Can anyone advise what program can be used for this purpose?
Thanks.
Michael Trotz

Since you can open the TIFFs on a PC, then there must be something wrong with Preview on your Mac. You can use Pacifist to extract the Preview application from your original OS X installation CD/DVD. Replace the one currently on the hard drive.
But there's quite a few other apps that will open a TIFF. Photoshop, Graphic Converter, InDesign, Quark and Illustrator to name a few. There's a bunch of free and shareware viewers you could download here.

Bridge: Using Thumbnail Viewing TIF Files

Using the Bridge and thumbnail viewing, our TIF files do not provide a preview. What am I doing wrong?

I think I have things configured correctly in dc20 and dc30. I can view tiffs thru the gui (cv03n) and if I select a tiff from EasyDMS , right click , view thru gui and edit thru gui all work.
If I select a tiff and right click then click on "edit file", the file opens in the picture viewer and the little lock icon appears. I can also then check in the file.
The only item that does not work is the "view file" (without using the gui). I see the "Downloading File" box come up and I can see where the file goes into the temp directory, but the application never starts up.

Viewing tif files in Preview, Dropbox

I've created two image files in Photoshop, removing hidden layers, merging layers, and then flattening the layers, saving them as tif files. One is about 4 MB; the other is about 24 MB.
The 4 MB files shows up fine in QuickView and in Preview; the 24 MB file shows up with a white background and one element from one of the layers.
I've also tried this saving the 24 MB tif file in layers, preserving the alpha; same result.
Uploaded to Dropbox, both tif files show up with only one layer visible, even though the file has flattened all the layers!
Thanks for any help you can offer sorting this out. I'd like to be able to view the 24 MB tif file in Preview.

Unable to view TIF files saved in pse7 on a Mac

Hello! I burnt a few TIF files (downloaded as RAW files from camera via Lightroom 2.5, then converted to 8 bit TIF via pse7) onto CD. I was able to view the images on another pc but not on a Mac. Is there anything I can do? Maybe change settings on the Mac? Many thanks!

It's most likely the settings you used for burning. Try burning a disc using Joliet, or just using the built-in burning capability in Explorer and see if you still have the same problem.

Tif files not opening via Acrobat Javascript openDoc() method

Hi,
I am trying to open a .tif file via Acrobat Javascript using the following code snippet which I have in config.js file in Acrobat Javascripts folder:
trustedOpenDoc = app.trustedFunction( function (File)
app.beginPriv();
var doc = app.openDoc({
cPath: File,
bUseConv: true
app.endPriv();
return doc;
Problem is that openDoc opens up all other images but it has problem with multi page tif files, I mean it does not open some tif files. I have directly tried to open files in Acrobat professional 8/9 from File --> Open but got same result.
The same happens also with some heavy (above 1 MB) .bmp files but with .bmp files this behaviour is not so frequent, on the other hand .tif files always give the same result.
Any PDF Gladiator who can save my project deadline!
Look please; I have this problem for the last 12 days and miserably my project is getting late becoz of this.
Thanks in advance for the resolution/suggestion.

Viewing tif files using EasyDMS

I have installed EasyDMS 6.0 SP16 non-unicode. When I double click on a tiff image , the image does not appear. If I "edit" the file the tif image is displayed and the little lock Icon appears in the EasyDMS window.Then if I double click on the image (after trying to edit it) the image will appear.
Any ideas how to resolve this??
Thanks much.

Viewing tif files

Hello my iPhone 5 with iOS "7.1" cannot download a "tif" email attachment, it will however open and view a "tiff" attachment, no problems. I can not even save the "tif" attachment for viewing elsewhere. I work for a firm where a fair amount of "plans" have been saved over the years in the "tif" format and it would be nightmarish to open and save thousands of these images in other format. I also tried to rename the "tif" to "tiff" image with still the same problem. Any ideas for this issue?

Since you can open the TIFFs on a PC, then there must be something wrong with Preview on your Mac. You can use Pacifist to extract the Preview application from your original OS X installation CD/DVD. Replace the one currently on the hard drive.

How do I get PSE 12 to save a TIFF file with file extension ".tiff" instead of ".tif"?

I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture. When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file. This all works great. When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension. I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension. When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!). I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway. I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle. Has anyone solved this problem?

That's not quite where the problem lies, which is good, because you can't change that. The real solution is that you don't ever want to see the save as window in PSE if you are using PSE as external editor for any program. When you see it you aren't creating a version for your asset management program. Go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and choose to save over existing file. That should do what you want.

Searching for tif files

Hi,
I'm a brand new iMac User and also new in this appel world. I'm working with pages and I'm using templates for my documents. I' searching for this tif.files which pages are embedded there. Because
I need the separate tif.file, not embedded in the document.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Torsten

If you have save template images in file checked in the save dialog, you can also delve into the package contents of the file and find your image files. (Option-click on the file and choose "View package contents" I think thats the wording.)
I did this to a Keynote file because I wanted to have all those nice fills for other things, so everything matched across documents. Worked really well.
