    AbleFaxTifView is a relatively small and very cost effective and efficient program for viewing and editing fax and TIFF files.

    Before I came across this program I was using regular and expensive photo imaging software which did the job but was cumbersome and difficult to use.

    AbleFaxTifView program has unique and time saving features such as de-skewing, noise and random pixel removal (despeckle) and autocropping. Editing tools permit erasing, text addition/deletion, picture pasting etc and there are graphics editing features normally found in typical graphics software such as image resizing, filters, convert to negative etc etc. 
 
    AbleFaxTifView is easy to work with and the thumbnail layout of a multipage TIFF file makes it very easy to review, select and work on individual pages. I had one or two small problems with the program and the developers were very quick to respond and fix them - customer support is excellent.

1) What do you use AbleFaxTifView for? How does it help you?

2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of the program?

1) We use it for editing old scanned electric schematics.

2) Simply adding tekst in all Fonts and height and adding lines, circles etc. , deskew, remove noise.

1) I use AbleFaxTifView mostly to check the general appearance of outgoing faxes.

2) The program contains many interesting features which frankly, I’m still not too familiar with, but to me one of the most useful is being able to save faxes in a specific file. This was not possible in my Windows XP OS, where there was no way of locating any fax files.

1) I use the program for faxes.
2) The most interesting features are the ability to view numerous thumbnails at one time, plus being able to Cut and Paste sections and insert new text.

This is a useful program. We are a land surveying office. We are currently in the process of scanning 30+ years of property plats, and the software that came with the scanner is not really suited for what we need to do.

I use Able Fax Tif View for touching up paper documents that I have fed into my scanner. It allows me to deskew, crop bits of the edge, despeckle, remove extraneous information such as advertisements from magazine articles, and generally get the image looking good, rather than like a crumpled photocopy.

1) I use it to clean up various documents I scan; sometimes for OCRing, sometimes I just store them as plain scanned TIFFs as a backup for my paper copies. AbleFaxTifView is the only editor I've found that can conveniently edit multipage TIFF files.

2) The most _important_ feature for me is the ability to easily crop pages, since my scans usually have dark marks around the edges of pages that I want to get rid of. (I also use cropping to get rid of advertisements in magazine articles I scan.) I also really like the antialiased view of zoomed-out pages; it makes them much easier to read.

1) What do you use AbleFaxTifView for? How does it help you?

I am a professor doing research and I use CD’s containing images of manuscripts’ pages. Some of the images in the CD’s are TIFF. Some are old-style JPEG compression. The Microsoft does not help in such cases and the images do not show. Each CD contains hundreds of images. I tried several TIFF readers but they were un-satisfactory. Your software solved the problem. I thank you.

2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of the program?

In addition to the above I was pleased to see all the images displayed in thumbnails and I can move between them and print whatever images I need to print. My experience with this viewer is very short. I have just started to use it. But I think that it is a great program.

1) What do you use AbleFaxTifView for? How does it help you?

I receive .tif files in my e-mail on a regular basis from friends and collegues. Having just upgraded my computer and installed Windows Vista, my former fax viewing program would not work.

2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of the program?

That it works with Vista which seems to be a rarity these days.

Paula Linke

1) What do you use AbleFaxTifView for? How does it help you?

Have scanned newspaper articles in .tif format. Using it to rotate and crop the specific articles/pictures

2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of the program?

Being able to select a portion of the scan and then rotate it before cropping completely
