There should be no reason for tiff2ps in 2024….but I agree that having a high 
quality, open source, TIFF->PDF solution benefits everyone.

Given the advances in PDF since the last time that tool was touched, it would 
probably be more reasonable to see if we could partner up with some other 
solution to keep that supported into the future.   Alternatively, maybe this is 
an opportunity to improve the PDF output in something like GraphicsMagick - 
Bob??

I strongly agree, in particular the 'tiff2ps' and 'tiff2pdf' tools. They are
immensely useful in the post-processing workflows of mass digitization of
documents. I know no other tools with their exact capabilities.
