That version/website hasn't been updated since 2003. I do have a more recent version in my archive; Don't recall where I found it, but it does somewhat better.

ImageMagick (most distributions have it, or see http://www.imagemagick.org/) is my go-to tool for batch image conversion/basic manipulations - e.g. rotate, resize, flip, crop, dither, resample, etc. It runs on linux, windows, OSX and iOS. You can also adjust the colormap size to shrink the files, depending on the input. convert *.tiff manual.pdf There are a bunch of tools for manipulating PDFs; some free, some not.
