Does the convert utility convert multi-page zipped tiffs to pnm > file(s)? If not, which program can I use instead? you should use tiffsplit to split the files and then tifftopnm . the backend should be easy to use, try with scanimage --device 'pnm:0' --help the backend is not compiled by default, youll have to enable it in the makefile. -- Best regards, Alessandro Zummo, Tower Technologies - Torino, Italy http://www.towertech.it
