TIF File Conversion and Integration Questions.

[Harshal]

Hello All,

I have used Irfanview for quite an year now to convert to tif files and would like to thank you for providing a good software.

I have a quick question. We have a product which does VOIP FAX, This product requires TIF files in specific format. I can open any image and adjust, manually 3 settings using Irfanview - which will give me a TIF file valid for our VOIP Fax, [ 1. Resolution, 2. Width & 3. Save-As CCITT Group 3 Fax ]

Our Product is Linux Based & Also we are using Java + convert, to create some merged [Text + Images] TIFF files on run. Would it be possible to use some extension of irfanview in Linux/Java ?

We have noticed that If I have to download any image from web [example .jpg] and use that as TIF, I have to use Irfanview to first just save as CCITT Fax 3 TIF - then only it will work with our VOIP Fax. What does Irfanview do different than "Convert" ?

Thank you
Harshal

My ideas about your problem. Just ideas - i have not tested it because i do not have Linux at hand right now. Maybe it will work ?!

Run on Linux (From irfanview.com FAQ)
-------------------------------------
Q: Can I use IrfanView on Linux?
A: Yes. There is no native-Linux version of IrfanView. However, you can use IrfanView in conjunction with Linux programs like WINE, Windows Linux emulators and Linux-based virtual machines. Take the ZIP version of IrfanView and unzip it or copy your existing Windows IrfanView folder to Linux. This is easier because the installer may need additional Windows DLLs to run. See instructions on: IrfanView on Linux with Wine


Write in i_view32.ini
---------------------
[TIFF]
Save Compression=3
SaveAllPages=1
GrayPalette=1

Run from command line with option
---------------------------------
(Try \ or / because Linux aand Windows is different in this case)

i_view32.exe c:\test.jpg /convert=c:\test.tiff
