Today has been a day of great discovery!  I had an issue where a third party
app generated invoices with tiff files.  1 tif per page and the tiffs were
2549x3299px and 900k.  Totally unacceptable for a web app.  I've used
imagemagick for several conversions before so I started into the
documentation to figure out how to compress the tiffs and save it as a
multipage tif.  After some digging around, I came up with this command.

convert -adjoin image1.tif -adjoin image2.tif -compress zip PDF:./test.pdf

yep!  This sucker creates a pdf based on tif images with the resulting file
being about 200k.  ImageMagick is slicker'n'snot. :)

....and don't get me started on Ruby and XML processing :)
