Mega TIFFs to PDF
Anyone,
What's the easiest/fastest SW to take a whole lot of TIFFs and convert them to a PDF? It's going to be a manual (somehow/eventually with some added elements...) Front/back cover one PDF. Inside pages (80 pages) -- one PDF. I'm not sure about every single TIFF file, but most seem to be letter size @300 dpi (which is what I will be going for). It's GBs of files.
Thanks.

Apparently PDF ReDirect will convert mutli-page TIFF to Multi-Page PDF.
Also IrfanView's ImPDF filter is said to work for multi page PDF creation.

Re: Mega TIFFs to PDF
If you have the time to learn the handling of TeX/LaTeX, then you could create a simple ASCII file with following code:
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{file1.tif}
\newpage{}
\includegraphics{file2.tif}
\newpage{}
\includegraphics{file3.tif}
...
\end{document}
After that the TeX compiler will convert this ASCII file into a PDF file.
There are options available to clip images or resize them.

If TeX/LaTeX is to heavy to learn, maybe Scribus could be a help in this case: Scribus saves its files in a readable (and editable) XML format. You could create a short example file with two or three images and then study the resulting XML file and fill in the necessary include commands for the other files with a simple text editor.

Re: Mega TIFFs to PDF
Thanks guys, for the inpput. I will look around, and perhaps give PDF ReDirect a whack when I get a moment. I'll update here if I find something worthwhile.
You weren't ignored. I was just waiting to see if someone else had any other ideas.
Thanks again.
