Hi,
We've developed an object using Aspose components to convert a docx to a faxable tif by creating an intermediate PDF. The problem we have is that the tif that is created has multiple errors in its formatting. When we attempt to fax a tif created this way through a Brooktrout fax board, it errors. Brooktrout provides a program that can analyze a tif for problems. Attached you will find the log it creates.
Note: If I convert a PDF (from Adobe's website) to a TIF using the same methods as the above workflow uses, it creates a valid tif, which would suggest the issue has something to do with the PDF that gets created.
I've also attached the image itself, as well as the source docx. Below is a portion of the dump file that seems to show what is missing from the image (and which items are fault tolerant, and which aren't).
