I use somthing like
tiffcp -c g4 *.tiff all.tiff
tiff2ps -a -2 all.tiff | ps2pdf - all.pdf
The tiff tools are from the tiff / libtiff package that is in the *BSD
port / pkgsrc system. ps2pdf is from Ghostscript.

G4 compression has a very good compression ratio, but works only with
black / white images. As you have schematics black / white would be OK.
