[hylafax-users] Repairing partially received faxes

[Charles Duffy <cduffy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using tiff2pdf to convert incoming TIFF files to PDF. This works 
great -- except when the incoming fax job is interrupted. When this 
happens, tiff2pdf aborts with output which doesn't constitute a valid 
PDF, and I'm still trying to work out a way to recover as much of the 
job as possible.

My initial thoughts were to use tiffsplit to split out valid pages and 
tiffcp to rebind them into a single document before running through 
tiff2pdf; however, tiffcp does not appear to accept JBIG-encoded input, 
even with libtiff 3.8.2 with JBIG support (as patched in by the current 
Gentoo ebuild):

$ tiffcp -c none /tmp/fax673.split* /tmp/fax673.recombine.tif
/tmp/fax673.splitaaa.tif: ISO JBIG scanline decoding is not implemented.
/tmp/fax673.splitaaa.tif: Error, can't read scanline 0.

Does anyone have another idea or recipe as to how as many pages as 
possible out of a partially received fax can be included in a PDF?

Thanks!
