Re: [hylafax-users] how to make tiff file compatible with faxinfo ?

["Paul Ryan" <pryan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you mean that you want to create a copy of a tif and have that new tif output the same information as the original when faxinfo is run on it?  If that is the case, try this:

[paul@fax recvq]$ cp fax000000023.tif new_fax.tif; /usr/local/sbin/faxinfo fax000000023.tif >> new_fax.tif

[pryan@faxbark recvq]$ /usr/local/sbin/faxinfo new_fax.tif
new_fax.tif:
    Sender: 9525551234
     Pages: 1
   Quality: Normal
      Page: North American Letter
  Received: 2004:11:16 16:52:32
TimeToRecv: 0:22
SignalRate: 14400 bit/s
DataFormat: 1-D MH
ErrCorrect: No

I don't know for sure this is the "correct" way to do what you are looking to do, but it both displays the same output as the original in the TIF viewer, and it outputs the same information from faxinfo.

not just.

I want to create a "new" file tif that it contains information and that
these file created, read from faxinfo, gives back the inserted information.
