Have you checked out the options using SIPS? It is included with OS X.
command: sips -s format pdf input_directory/*.tif --out
output_directory

OK,
Per the recommendation of Yvan Koenig, I found the applescript
"Convert to PDF" in my examples folder. It works well for 1 page
doc's but for multiple page docs, it only outputs the first page and
the other pages in the TIFF file don't get converted.
The applescript seems to use the command line utility "convert" to
perform the conversion, but I could not find a man page for it.
Does anyone now if the script can be modified to handle multipage
TIFF files?
Thank you.

Hello List.
I am looking to take hundreds, if not thousands of TIFF files we
receive electronically via fax software and setup a script that
will automatically convert them to PDF files. I did find an
Automator utility called "Convert Images to PDF" which, if it
worked, would be exactly what I was looking for. However, on
both OS X 10.4 & 10.5, when TIFF's are dropped onto it, it does
nothing... just quits out.
Does anyone know of a way, via Applescript, to convert TIFF
files, some of which will be multipage, to PDF files?
I would try using Smile (I am affiliated to the makers of Smile).
Smile, from what I read, appears to be an Applescripting
environment. I'm not terribly fluent with AS so I was looking to
see if anyone had and existing solution or new of one... similar to
the "Convert Images to PDF" automator utility I found (but doesn't
work).
