When someone posted a link to a multi-page tiff earlier I went there
with Firefox. I saw the images on the page, and when I clicked on one
of the images Firefox opened it alone in the window, with numbers on
the bottom of the window to navigate to the other pages, which worked
fine. Admittedly, the second page was very faint, but if all you need
to do is view them, can't you just open them in Firefox?

Regarding the faintness, were these blueprints that were scanned?
Having done a lot of DTP over the years I should mention that blue is a
bad color for reproduction. Back in the days when printers would shoot
plates from pasteups (yes, I've used Xacto knives and hot wax) we used
special markup pens in "non-repro blue," because that color was
invisible to the camera. Non-repro blue was more less robin's egg blue.
I offer that fact as a possible explanation for the faintness.
