You could try adding -dUseBigTIFF to the ghostscript parameters in the get_gs_parms() function in efax_controller.cpp and recompiling, but I doubt it would work because I don't think efax can handle BigTIFF. Assuming it doesn't work, then either rescale your document page size to something more reasonable or send your document by email instead of fax. No, I don't know what utilities might carry out such a resizing for you: you could try bringing up the PDF document in a document viewer and try printing to file with different parameters.

Thank you. I know how to compile/recompile but this 2.2 MB pdf failed while a previous 6.4 MB pdf was sent. Is it the page or the total file size that I need to be concerned about? Or both?
I will convert/shrink/re-print the document in different ways first. [edit: just noticed this PDF has an note annotation on one page that the bigger doc did not have--on 'print to file' that is removed].

I am getting errors faxing a PDF document that is about 3.3 MB and 15 pages long.
The log file has the following lines:
I have tried breaking the document into multiple PDFs of 1-2 pages each and sending it using 'Multiple Files', with the same result:
This looks like two errors to me, both(?) in efax: maximum TIFF file size exceeded and missing offset to TIFF data.
What can I try next?

It is the page size (or pixel size) which I think is the immediate problem.
