I have had the same problem a time ago as I wanted to place the tiff file in 
a Pagemaker dokument. The problem was that the application requires the 
type of the file to be set to TIFF (Creator doesn't matter). There are a 
couple of utilities around where you can manipulate the type and creator, 
I used something called FileTool, but it should be on any good PD server.
