,smf file ?
(OP)
I recieved a drawing that was suppose to have been a TIF, however it has the exentsion .SMF
I do not have any CAD programs, just ADOBE, Windows picture/fax viewer and PAINT. None of this will open it, nor any of the viewers I have tried today. Any ideal what I need to convert this into something I can view and edit?
(it will ne Monday before I can asked to have it resent)

the file is an E size drawing from an US utility. the prior discussion and even email it was attached stated it was a scanned TIF. Funny thing is, it is only 330kb.
I'll just wait till Monday and ask them to resend.

I am not familar with looking at code, but I did opened it with Word and excel, but did not reconize any pattern or see any hints to what it could be.
The amount of time I've put into opening this file exceeds the expected time I was going to charge to write a solution to thier problem. :)
RE: ,smf file ?
I have had times where I needed to change file extensions to make it through virus scanners,etc...
RE: ,smf file ?
I did try last night and then repeated after your suggestion (that's why it took awhile to reply). Besides TIF, i tried pdf, bmp, jpg. I then saved it without an extension (and shorten its name) and went through all my "open with" options; adobe, paint, windows fax, windows photo veiwer, word, note, excel, power point.
given this is from the electronic files of an US utility (Exelon) I would think it should have been a common format (first time with this customer though)
I have started written the solution for them in generic terms, but I hate providing info on how to solve, but rather provide a specific answer
