Thanks for the quick response. I have tried a couple of times to find the 
jai_imageio.jar file to download to our server with no success. Where can you 
get this file to download?

The message means that you should add jai_imageio.jar in your classpath, see 
the dependencies page. That jar is not included due to license reasons.

In theory, we could bundle the twelvemonkeys package, but the "write tiff part" 
hasn't been tested yet by us (although it's probably good).

Technically, there is no "ability to extract tiff images" because there are no 
tiff images in PDFs (unless maybe as file attachments). There are images that 
are compressed in a CCITT format that is very similar to the compression format 
used in TIFFs but without TIIFF header. We have been able to extract these for 
years (coincidentally, we are now using two modified files from twelvemonkeys), 
and offer to save these as tiff because TIFF has the best compression format 
for b/w images.

I hope this answer the question somewhat...
