Thanks for your efforts too, certainly a more difficult job than with a

However, only the foldouts were scanned to high quality. The rest of the
pages had to be shot on a copystand with a camera, because the binders
were partly water damaged.

When I had software which generated 12 and 14 bit depth TIFs, on Windows

the viewer.
I had the Photometrics viewer which could bring them up, and my own
python program.? However windows crashed on several TIFs.? It isn't
a surprise to hear that you had problems with the viewer.? The files
convert to PDF just fine, however.
Thanks to Mark G for scanning them, as well. On 11/29/2017 1:47 PM, drlegendre . via cctalk

The hint is the size, I suspect.? You need a multi page TIF viewer, or
download the entire file and find a TIF to PDF converter and run it thru
there.
The first tif file converted to a 100 page PDF, for instance.
There are plenty of
good TIF readers - OS X Preview does a great job on
these as they are.
I didn't have as much luck with Windows Photo Viewer. While it does
support multipage TIF, it seemed to hang after a few pages.
