While I do not disagree with the results you want to see I think that it's important to recognize that nowhere in tiff2pdf's documentation does it claim to perform any particular scaling. So I think that it's a mistake to claim that this is unexpected behavior for it to be cropping instead of scaling because the documentation makes no claims about either. So while you find the behavior unexpected it actually is merely undefined. So I think that you can work with the available behaviors as they are or you can look at producing a feature for tiff2pdf for scaling the image as you wish. Thanks, Lee.
