Several years ago I worked as a consultant for a company that did this
using shell. the script itself was very short and wrapped around a command
line utility that was supplied by Adobe. Back then we were on some earlier
version of Solaris like maybe 2.7 and we had installed Adobe Acrobat
Distiller 2.1. The script, if I remember correctly, simply cat'ed .tif img
files into this Adobe utility and then output the resulting .pdf file. I
no longer have access to the code, so I cant be much more help than that.
I'm not even sure if this utility is still available. Hope this helps.
