[ cross-posted to tiff and ImageMagick lists. Apologies for any inconvenients ]

Hello,
I need to convert tiff images already in CCITT group 4 (or T6) compressed
form to PDF
(like Capture, without any OCR).
ImageMagick's convert does the job, but decompress and does not recompress
with group 4
compression.
libtiff's tiff2ps produces PostScript Level 2 output (and so uses group 4
encoding
if applicable), but not directly PDF.
Has anyone already a solution to my problem (with source code, as I need to
integrate the
process in one of our application) ? 
I think tiff2ps is a good place to start, but before coding I sure prefer
benefiting
from others' experience.

Best regards from France.
