RE: Multi-page tiff to PDF conversion

2015-12-19 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
There is a form of single TIFF file that has multiple images, each for one
page, for a scanned document.  This is usually a TIFF/F holding all the
pages of a Fax transmission.

The question is how does AOO import one of those.

TENTATIVE RESPONSE:

Subra, this is probably not anything OpenOffice was designed for.  The
design point is to support import of graphical images in TIFF format, not
multi-page FAX documents.  You can see that in the OpenOffice 3.3 behavior.
You might look for TIFF utilities that will take apart one of those into
separate TIFF files or maybe into a Word document that you could then
process further in OpenOffice.

If you want a clear confirmation of support-or-not, either provide a
multi-page TIFF as an attachment on a Bugzilla issue or install the latest
version of Apache OpenOffice and satisfy yourself whether it works or not.
(Attachments don't work on mail to this list.)

Apache OpenOffice is probably not designed to do such tasks, but there are
other applications out there that are. If using the command line isn't a
problem, there is tiff2pdf.
Install it easily on the following operating systems as root.

Debian or Ubuntu:
apt-get install ghostscript libtiff-tools

CentOs or Red Hat:
yum install ghostscript libtiff

Fedora:
yum install ghostscript libtiff-tools

Convert input.tiff to output.pdf:
tiff2pdf -o output.pdf input.tiff

More information:
man tiff2pdf



Kind regards
