It might make my situation clearer if I explain that I do not need to maintain much quality when converting these drawings, except that I need to preserve s certain level of detail so that I can read them after I import them into the application for which I am trying to downsize. Of course, the problem that I have run into this morning was that my application was choking on the tiff files, and most of the solutions I tried either did not result in smaller files, or the smaller result was so fuzzy that I could not make out certain details I need in order to work with the drawings. I did manage to crop away unnecessary areas of the original tiffs, so was finally able to import them at their full resolution into my application so that I could complete my project. Will try all the mentioned solutions to see which yields the optimum results. I'm not certain my application can work with gif's, however. Thanks again.
