Not necessarily - if you set your iaxmodems to only produce G4 encoded tiffs you can then use something like c42pdf http://c42pdf.ffii.org/ which essentially copies the tiff image data into a pdf container. Lightning fast, quality is preserved, very little memory usage and very little cpu. I believe that the tiff2pdf binary in later versions of libtiff does a similar thing.
