You need to render the file's contents to a graphic somehow, and then 
write that graphic out as a TIFF file.

I don't think you're going to find the kind of trivial 
plug-it-in-and-go sample code that people posting this type of question 
are typically looking for.

You might find some code to do something like run some VBA script to 
have Microsoft Word print a Word document to a TIFF file via a special 
print driver or something like that, but that's not quite the same 
thing, and you'll have to have your lawyers look very closely at the 
license agreements of any applications you're "driving" to see whether 
they can be used this way.
