TIF files need a third party software to be opened in Windows Mobile.
The problem is that most of free software packages that read TIF read only
single-page TIFFs, and these files usually come multi-paged. So we need to
refer to commercial software.
In my opinion, the best valued software in this area is RESCO Photo viewer
from www.resco.net . It will open the files you need easily.
Best regards,
Helio
