Scroll Through Multi Page Tiffs?

files (200-300 page technical manuals).
Preview only has a thumbnail feature-- much to slow to click on each
separate page. Quick Time only opens the first page.
Freeware/shareware is better than big expensive program!

So don't use the thumbnails. Select View - PDF Display - Continuous. You can
then scroll through the whole document via the window's scroll bar, mouse's
scroll wheel, or Page Up/Down keys.

Scanners can do them, or at least some of them can. I use them all the
time when scanning in sheet music for some work in Finale or Sibelius.
I will say I've never seen one as big as that.

Part of the TIFF standard. Was commonly used for multi page FAXes.

Thanks, but as someone else noted, my files are multi page TIFFs, not
PDFs. The PDF Display menu is grayed out so that suggestion won't work.
Any other ideas?

Maybe GraphicConverter or CocoViewX?
Googling for "mac os x multi page tiff viewer" brings up these links
(among others):

generate separate files for each page. If you could do that on OS-X,
you could then ask preview to open the directory with the 200 files
reside, at which point, you would have 200 thumbnails.

Thanks for the leads. Regrettably the latest release of CocoViewX is
over three years old and doesn't run under OS X 10.6.5. And
GraphicConverter doesn't seem to scroll multi page TIFFs-- though you
can click from page to page..

Have you tried printing the document from preview and saving it as PDF
in the print dialogue ?
The resulting PDF file should allow you to scroll continuously since it
is .PDF

How about using graphic converter to open the Tiff file and then save it
as a PDF. the you could use Preview or Adobe to scroll thru the
manual....

Joe & JF-
That may work. If not, try opening in Preview, Select All, Print
Selected Pages, and then Print-Save as PDF.
If it works, it could take a while to convert to full-size pages. If it
only prints thumbnails, at least it should do it fairly quickly!

Interesting workarounds! But I need to review dozens of them a week so I
really need to find a native app that can do it.
MS Office Document Imaging (Windows) has multi page TIFF scrolling
capability-- while the Mac versions of Office don't. I guess I'll just
read them on an old PC notebook I have laying around.
Really surprising that Steve-o managed to overlook this rather simple
function!

Check it in GraphicConverter. I presume that the functionality hasn't
been dropped -- it was present pre-OS X and, although I have paid for
the product (and for two different $ upgrades), I rarely use it as I do
almost all my graphics work in Photoshop these days.

Looks very interesting -- but not upgraded since 2007?
Basically an "orphaned" piece of software???
