Hi,

here a perl-script I used for faxes that I received by email which contains 
more then one directory:

----------------------snip---------------------------snip
: #-*-Perl-*-
    eval 'exec perl  -S  $0 "$@"'
    if 0;

#
# This script is needed for my free faxnumber account.
#
# I get some tiff-files with some Directorys for each page.
#
$| = 1;
use File::Basename;
use Getopt::Long;
Getopt::Long::Configure('bundling');
GetOptions ('h|height|HEIGHT:f' => \$height,
            'w|width|WIDTH:f' =>\$width,
            'v|verbose|VERBOSE' =>\$VERBOSE
           );
#
# Heigth and width must be in inch!
#
# Default is DIN A4 Portrait.
#
$width = 8.27 unless $width;
$height = 11.42 unless $height;

$TIFFINFO ="tiffinfo";
$TIFF2PS = "tiff2ps";
$TIFF = $ARGV[0] || usage();
open (F,"$TIFFINFO $TIFF | grep Directory |") || die "Can't create pipe:$!";
@ALL = <F>;
close (F);
print "Number of TIFF-Directorys found:".($#ALL + 1)."\n" if ($VERBOSE);
foreach $t (0 .. $#ALL) {
  print "Processing TIFF-Directory :$t ..." if ($VERBOSE);
  system "$TIFF2PS -d $t -w $width -h $height $TIFF | lpr ";
  print "Done.\n" if ($VERBOSE);
}
sub usage {
print basename($0)." [options] tiff-file\n\n";
print "Print a tiff with 1 or more directorys with one call!\n";
print "-h --height : Set the height of the output default ($height in)\n";
print "-w --width  : Set the width of the output default ($width in) \n";
exit -1;
}

I produce PS from my tiff files with tiff2ps . then it is easy to convert the 
PS into PDF.

Cheers
Reinhhard
