Creating Tif files on the fly for faxing

[Bob Day]

Using VS 2003...

Is there a way to create a tif file on the fly to be faxed? I need a simply
cover page (simple logo, to/from, etc.) and am currently doing it in text
only, but that doesn't look that great. I figure with tif I could add a
graphic, etc. A static pre-made tif file won't work, becuase I need to
insert some variable information.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have searched far and wide, and as far as I can see, .NET does not support
tiff's nativly. There is a possibility that you can code a class yourself,
but I could not find any info on it. I had to buy a commercial component to
do it.

One way would be to create the doc using, say, Word.
Then print the doc to, say, the Acrobat Distiller printer, or otherwise
create PDF.
Then use, say, Acrobat to save the PDF as TIFF.

Another way would be to create the doc using Powerpoint and save as TIFF in
Powerpoint.

Or create the doc in, say, Word, then export to Powerpoint and save as TIFF
in Powerpoint.

Some quick and dirty code for creating a multipage TIFF file can be

How does this allow me to create a tif file on the fly, inserting
information? What you are describing are static tif files, or am I missing
something that you are trying to say?

Thanks!

I'm say that you create the info using, say, Word, then produce the TIFF
using Powerpoint.

If you need to directly edit the TIFF, that's another matter.

ReadIRIS8, it can save an image in TIFF format.
