Have you checked out the options using SIPS? It is included with OS X.
Well it looked promising but it returns the following error and does
not create a pdf:
sips[55008] <Error>: CGImageDestinationFinalize image destination does
not have enough images\n
Error: Unable to write image to file /pdfs/7.tif.snuMX
I believe GraphicConverter can do it, I just was hoping to utilize an
applescript solution to do so first.

command: sips -s format pdf input_directory/*.tif --out

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).
