[ILL-L] Converting pdf to tif for Odyssey or Ariel delivery

[Jeanine Weber]

Judy,
Check with your IT people.  We just had our computers reimaged.  Before that
I could open tifs with no problem, after I could only open the first page of
a tif.  Somewhere in the settings, I can't remember where, mine was set for
tifs to only display the first page.  Kind of a useless setting.  Our IT
people changed the setting and now I can open the entire tif.  I'm guessing
this might affect things when you are creating a tif, also.  I might be
wrong, but definitely talk to your IT people.
Good luck,
Jeanine
