There should be no reason for tiff2ps in 2024….but I agree that having a high quality, open source, TIFF->PDF solution benefits everyone.

I can agree with that and I think that the effort should be on tiff2pdf.

Given the advances in PDF since the last time that tool was touched, it would probably be more reasonable to see if we could partner up with some other solution to keep that supported into the future. Alternatively, maybe this is an opportunity to improve the PDF output in something like GraphicsMagick - Bob??

As they are now, neither ImageMagick nor GraphicsMagick are a match for the functionality of tiff2pdf. Having easy control over the image position on the page (i.e. page size and horizontal and vertical offsets) and Distiller-like capabilities, such as inclusion of notes, bookmarks, and metadata in general, on the fly are essential for my kind of work. Speed is also important when processing thousands of pages.
