When converting from multi-page TIFF to PDF, I typically use IrfanView, a
free and good Windows image viewer, and I print to the Acrobat 5 Distiller
printer. The Acrobat import feature is convenient, but I can't find any
definite way to view (or configure) the parameters it uses when processing
images. What DPI does it use for such-and-such class of images? What kinds
of compression does it use? I feel much more comfortable with Distiller and
its configurability -- I know what is going into my PDFs.

IrfanView is also neat because of its very fast rendering and printing the
TIFFs.
