[Freeswitch-users] Faxing Large Files

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

As Dušan said, the configurations at 
http://soft-switch.org/spandsp_faq/ar01s14.html give reliable FAX 
images. The resolutions on that page are based on using imperial units, 
but specifying a resolution of 200x200 is also OK. You get a metric 
page. The *key* thing is to specify -dPDFFitPage. Without this, 
converting some things to TIFF works OK, while others result in strange 
image widths. With this parameter the output TIFF should always be 
adjusted to the specified number of pixels.

Regards,
Steve
