I am using fax2tiff and tiff2pdf to convert incoming faxes to pdf files for
viewing and printing
My command lines are as follows:
fax2tiff -M -o filename.tiff filename.fax
tiff2pdf -pletter -ofilename.pdf filename.tiff
This seems to work fine for faxes that are less than a full letter-size page.
But full-page faxes come out looking squished vertically, like every second
horizontal line is missing or something.
I suspect that I am missing a magic command line switch for either fax2tiff or
tiff2pdf.

Hi Frank!
Ok, first the truth, no phone line or fax where I live. Once in a while I find them useful but e-mail gets me there 99% of the time.
I do have interest there for the 1% however and conversion problems seem to facinate me.
I would be interested what Open Office Org reader does if you try to open a fax file with it? Please let me know if you try.
Other than that google yeilds:

My guess is that conversion to a picture format (tiff) has trouble "getting it all in there" when the document is long. Better to use a viewer if possible espically if you can print directly from it (xfax above).
I hope this is helpful!
Good hunting!
