Hi Shamus,
Great to hear you got it working.
As an optimization you might try also using tiff2pdf as David did before
mailing, it should reduce the file size somewhat.
I haven't tried it, but the "tiff2pdf -j ..." option will definitely reduce the
file size. Play with some samples manually before changing your dialplan.
$ tiff2pdf -j -o file_name.pdf file_name.tiff
