Re: [asterisk-users] FFA (Fax For Asterisk) tif file (size) problem
Hi Michael, Hi Steve, Use spandsp. It is more relaxed about the file resolution, to avoid this exact issue. Files with a resolution within 5% of 204x196 are accepted. How do we install/use it? Is there an online guide for using it with Asterisk 1.6.2.x? However, if you have really made the image width 1680 pixels, that is wrong and I would be surprised if any FAX software accepts it. Standard sized FAX images are 1780 pixels wide. We removed that conversion, once we found that the only relevant field was the resolution. Now, A4 pages are automatically converted from 2339x1654 to 2292x1728, due to the resolution change. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] FFA (Fax For Asterisk) tif file (size) problem
Hi, We played around with the different parameters of the tif files and found that the issue was with the resolution. Most files generated on the PC have a 200x200 resolution, but it seems that FFA only accepts 204x196 resolution. Right now, we added a process to change the file resolution using ImageMagick, but it would make sense to allow also 200x200.

Is there a way to debug this further and fix it? We often have tif source files that we prefer to send, without converting to pdf and back to tif. Thank you in advance, Michael I don't know if this is the case or not, but check for differences between the two tiff files. I wonder if one is compressed and the other is not? -M -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
