Retaining original document file size

I am looking for an application that will do either one of the following options:

1. native TIFF and JPG files - one file per page (multi pages in one document) convert to PDF
2. native TIFF files - one file per page(multi pages in one document) to PDF.

However, it is common for some of the pages in the document to be large size drawings that when converted to PDF must retain their original document size. example: The bulk of the pages in the document are legal size (11"x14") but also contain a 24" x 36" land survey). In this example, the land survey can not be reduced to 11x14.

Does ImageMagick do this function?

Thanks

Why didn't you just try? It does the jobs your are asking for, especially the conversion of (possibly multipage) TIFFs into one PDF document. The page size will be adjusted to size.

When converting several JPEGs into one PDF be aware that the JPEGs will be re-compressed by ImageMagick. There are, however, other applications like JPEGtoPDF that just wrap the original files and leave the JPEGs untouched.
