Thank you all! My results so far:

- sips looked good, but it doesn't work. This script simply returns
the two unix paths in the Script Editor, with no file written:

set my_source to "Macintosh HD:Users:ILC:Desktop:DV-110606a:2011-06-06
12-17-07_IMAGE000_102.tiff"
set my_dest to "Macintosh HD:Users:ILC:Desktop:DV-110606a:2011-06-06
12-17-07_IMAGE000_102.pdf"
do shell script "sips -s format pdf " & quoted form of POSIX path of
my_source & " --out " & quoted form of POSIX path of my_dest

- The Preview script always errors out, not recognizing that or that.

Looks like I will have to learn this drawimage command in Smile, now
that I know it is possible!  :)

Thanks again,

ilsa

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.
