convert will convert almost anything.......
convert <filename.pdf> <filename.tiff>
Thanks to all 3 responses, but I'm still having a few issues.
I've found "convert +adjoin -monochrome ActiveRbacManual.pdf
ActiveRbacManual.tiff" creates single page B&W TIFFs.
Issue 1: I want greyscale, and I think the above is truly black &
white. Is there a way to get greyscale?
Issue 2: the resolution (DPI) is only 75x75. Unacceptably low, but
when I try adding "-density 300x300" I get:
===
convert -density 300x300 +adjoin ActiveRbacManual.pdf ActiveRbacManual.tiff

I tried this in a cygwin environment and it works (very slowly), so I
guess I need to file a bug report unless someone knows that I'm doing
something wrong.
