Force backend support non-blocking mode ? I don't think it's a good idea. 
These work will be done more easily in frontend than backend.

tiff2pdf (from libtiff) converts only *one* TIFF file to PDF, so you
first use tiffcp to combine your separate images to a multipage TIFF
file, e.g.,

  $ tiffcp page*.tiff article.tiff

  $ tiff2pdf article.pdf
