Thank you all very much for responding to my question. 

One important fact I may have left out, I am importing the TIFF by
reference and I do NOT have any control over the Master I am importing.
I cannot convert it, dissect it, etc  :-)  My hands are tied, I have to
use the tiff as it exists on my network.

Multi-page tiffs are pretty common really.

I remember replying to this, so I am not certain why it has come up
again. But anyway I suggested opening the tiff in an application that
supports multi-page tiffs (probably *not* Photoshop) and print the file
to PDF (press-quality settings if you want to print it). This produces a
multi-page PDf which can be easily imported into FM.
