Under Linux, you can do the following to create a PDF from a bunch of
TIFF images.
Assuming the original files are named t1-*.tif (change for different
file names)

    tiffcp t1-*.tif t1.tif
    tiff2ps -a t1.tif > t1.ps
    ps2pdf t1.ps t1.pdf
    rm t1.tif
    rm t1.ps

tiffcp converts the multiple files into a single multi-image tiff file.
tiff2ps converts this multi-image tiff file into postscript (very large
file)
ps2pdf converts the postscript file into a PDF.
rm kills the intermediate files.
