You will need a 3rd party product for that.
Try JPedal or PDFBox, they will create a very good image of the pdf, you
will then need
to use JAI to turn it into a Tiff.

Subject: [iText-questions] PDF to TIFF
I want to make sure I have not missed something in iText before I continue
searching.
The short question is: Can iText take a pdf it has created and convert it
to a TIFF group 3 file for faxing?
I am creating pdf documents using iText.Net. I have a routine in the VS.NET
program that will send the document to an SBS shared fax server.
For this I need a TIFF group 3 file from the pdf. If I designate the pdf as
the file to the fax server, it will open Adobe Reader and automatically
convert the file to a TIFF. The problem is that this not only takes a long
time, but leaves AR open on the client computer.
I used Ghostscript via the command line to create the TIFF, but this will
not work from a server and I don't want the clients to have to install
Ghostscript on each desktop. This does work very fast however.
I see on pg 145 of the book that iText can take a CCITT image and insert
into a pdf, but I don't see any reference to the reverse.
Is this possible from iText or can someone recommend a different avenue?
Perhaps some intermediary image format which can then be converted to a
TIFF?
Regards,
Rick
