In case you are unaware, TIFF is one of the few popular image formats which does support transparency. If you can find no other solution, then removing the transparency information (the alpha channel) from your TIFFs may be your simplest solution. Both Photoshop or Gimp should have trouble removing the alpha channel from a TIFF. Your comment above implies that you do not believe the images to have transparency, but you may still find that you were in fact relying on their having transparency, so be sure to carefully proof those pages containing the modified TIFFs.
