If Preview were scriptable, it would probably be the easiest option, but yeah, since you have to resort to GUI scripting, not so much.

Since the OP already has Smile, that would seem to be the way to go.  

But I'm a bit confused.  I thought sips was just a way to get to Image Events from the shell.  Shouldn't you be able to do anything that you can do with 'do shell script "sips ..."' by scripting Image Events directly?

Yes but isn't it a bit off-topic? The OP said "easiest".

I'd guess Preview + System Events can do that without any third party additions

Hi:

I'm looking for a free and easy way to save a TIFF ( TIF ) file to the PDF format with a new name. Image Events doesn't do it, Automator doesn't let me control the location and filename, I didn't see it in Smile, and ImageMagick seems to require a huge complicated terminal installation. I'm thinking more of a simple shell command or binary where I can do something like "tif2pdf /folders/infile.tif /differentfolders/newnames.pdf" or similar. Hopefully it's already in OS X somewhere, but it would be OK to have an osaxen, binary or an app to install. It seems weird to me that this doesn't already exist, as I read that PDF is the Mac's display technology.

Thanks,

ilsa
