I am in the last leg of my paperless transaction system, and I got word from the higher ups that they would prefer to have the documents viewable as pdf's. I have searched every faq/tutorial on imagemagick, and I can not find a single instance of converting a tiff file to a pdf in any of them.
So what I want to know is can imagemagick convert a tiff file to a pdf file?

ImageMagick can convert TIFF to PDF.

Thank you for the reply, is there any documentation on how this can be done?

Try the following command:
convert in.tif out.pdf
ImageMagick guesses the output format by the file extension. If you want it more explicit, you could do:
convert in.tif pdf:out.pdf
If the TIFF contains several pages, and you want to access a certain page, use e.g.
convert "in.tif[1]" out.pdf
You will need to have GhostScript installed to do PostScript and PDF related stuff.
