would you mind emailing me a demo fax page as well it's PDF, just curious what results you get, I tried that a long time ago, using acrobat (or, I should say, some used a crobat to convert my scanned stuff), and, I wsn't impressed in the qulity.
Quality was OK. Can't send you a demo as its all confidential info.
how do your file sizes compare tiff vs pdf ?
See below, pdf was smaller than original tif!!!!:

Receiving faxes via efax/jfax whatever. All come in as multi-page tif. Which apparently is a bit of a standard in 'document management software' circles.
yes, I believe they mainly use TIFF-F (which is what my fax app uses, incidentally, as does my scan app)
Current solution: Provides a script to convert the MPtiff to pdf and view it in xpdf.

/when this perosn converted for me, they bragged, look how much smaller it is than your fax, after I looked at it, I could see why it was smaller..../
anyhow, I'll keep your script 'for future use'
