TIF Viewer

[Ian Blundell]

I'm still looking for a good replacement for M$ Document Imaging which was removed from Office 2010.  Brava! Reader is mostly OK but I have a problem printing to PDF (either the Adobe or pdfFactory printers) since it prints a photographic negative of the image. Also the "Save view as" option only saves the current page as a jpg rather than the whole document.
I've heard that some people use Adobe to open the tif files.  The problem I have with using the full version of Abobe to open tif files is that it wants to save the tif file as a pdf file as I exit the program.  I don't generally want to convert the tif file to a pdf (presumably leaving the original tif file there) and I don't want my users to have to deal correctly with the prompt each time either.
Next I thought that I would use Adobe Reader instead which would circumvent the convert to pdf issue.  So I downloaded Adobe Reader X but it won't open tif files.

Does anyone have any other solutions that avoid the terrible default Windows Photo Viewer,  allows multiple tif files to be open at the same time, gives a thumbnails view of multiple page tif files,  lets you print all as well as contiguous and non-contiguous pages,  has the coffee ready for when I come in each morning?

It doesn't really have to have my coffee ready for me in the morning since one of the "gals" here already does that (although she won't read this).

This is more of an observation - but RelayFax had a good tif viewer - likely other fax software does as well.  Question is - is it worth purchasing XX licenses of a fax program just for the tif viewer?

Haven't tried it but says it supports multiple tiff.   Assuming it works in W7

Bob - I tried this but there isn't a thumbnails view and the print function is funky.  It just print the current page (or sometimes just part of the current page).  This may be a Windows7 problem since the program was written in 2005 for Windows XP.

Thanks

Ok one last try..  Here is one just for Windows 7 and multi-page Tiff viewing.
