Any idea what causes incorrect(?) tifs? I get some warnings while trying
to convert my incoming faxes to PDF, like:

# tiff2ps /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/fax00005.tif > A.ps
Fax3Decode1D: Warning, /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/fax00005.tif: Premature

I've edited /etc/hylafax/FaxDispatch to attach PDF's:

# cat /etc/hylafax/FaxDispatch
FILETYPE=pdf
SENDTO=FaxMaster

The PDF's get sent, but the tagline is cut off, I can see the last lines
of it, but not complete...

If I view the .tif the tagline looks weird too. Is it possible that this
behaviour has the same base as the Premature EOL I've posted a few hours
ago?

What could cause such crappy taglines?

Hi;

It might just be me, but you're not converting to a PDF, you're
converting to a Postscript file. Is that what you meant?

Cheers,

Tren

No, I was thinking of converting to PDF, but that is a two step process
:) tiff2ps | ps2pdf

This ("got 0, expected _____") is a bug from an old viewfax version that
was perpetuated into libtiff and HylaFAX. libtiff was fixed a few years
ago. HylaFAX was fixed in 4.1.3

You can have yet other "Premature EOL" errors with HylaFAX depending on
how badly the modem firmware handles corrupt data. But these errors here
are fixed now.
