Re: flexfax: multi-image tiff -> PDF?

[Alan Sparks <asparks@nss.harris.com>]

I can't vouch for this, since I haven't tried it, but I think it might
work...

I know of no tiff2pdf convertor (all-in-a-bag), but you might look at
using fax2ps (included w/ HylaFAX) to convert the TIFF into PS, and
passing the mess through your GhostScript engine with the PDF output
generation option.

I don't know what quality you'll get (or if it'll be usable), but seems
like a cheap solution worth looking at.  You'll need to do a little
research on the fax2ps and gs programs to get the right options -- if
you can't find them, write to me and I'll see if I can find a hint or
two.
