How to convert a text file or an image into a tiff format with a bilevel image, 8 bit, g3 format information?


Thank you.

If you do little g3 (not the big G) it will generate two file. Perhaps, it only do this on Linux OS.

However, when I did this (it showed similar error as you had seing).
-bash-4.1# identify testfileNew-0.tiff
identify: Not a TIFF or MDI file, bad magic number 5120 (0x1400). `testfileNew-0.tiff ...

This is what I have done to convert a text file and produce the g3 image:

1.
cat text-file | convert -font Courier-Bold -density 200 text:- -depth 8 text-file.tiff


2.
convert text-file.tiff g3:new.tiff

The convert will produce two final file
new-0.tiff
new-1.tiff





-bash-4.1# more text-file ...

When I run the following command and syntax to convert a tiff file into g3 format it will produce two final tiff file.
How can I force convert with g3 to produce one tiff file?


convert text-file.tiff g3:new.tiff

new-0.tiff
new-1.tiff
