Now where did you get the notion from that there should be one (I'm trying to "debug" the proces here, so there's something for us all to learn). There is a program (aka "tool") called tiff2pdf: tomas@trotzki:~$ apt-file search tiff2pdf hylafax-server: /var/spool/hylafax/bin/tiff2pdf libtiff-doc: /usr/share/doc/libtiff-doc/html/man/tiff2pdf.1.html libtiff-tools: /usr/bin/tiff2pdf libtiff-tools: /usr/share/man/man1/tiff2pdf.1.gz ...so in this case you're looking for the package libtiff-tools Likewise, tiffcp is in there, too. I can't find a pgm2tiff, though. The tool apt-file is part of the package "apt-file" (yes, in that case the names coincide :-) If you dont want to install apt-file, you can search for packages containing your tool here: https://packages.debian.org Cheers -- tomás
