Default How to change a Tiff into a PDF

How do you change a tiff into a pdf file? Is there a free program that anyone knows off?

Thanks
Spencer

Install any free PDF writer.
Open the file and print it to the PDF writer. It will be installed like it is a printer.

PrimoPDF, CutePDF, PDF995 etc.

Not sure why you would want to but you can use the free version of PDF995 at http://www.pdf995.com/.

If you want to change the TIFF to another picture format, such as JPG or other you can use IrfanView free version at http://www.irfanview.net/ or the free version of Paint at www.paint.net.

Ditto post #2, although it doesn't have to be a free PDF program. It can be any PDF program -- LOL.

Why I'm honored, David.

Remember that if one pays for something and then uses it a lot, the cost is less to do the job. For example, if I bought Adobe Acrobat for $300 and used it only once to create a PDF, that PDF cost $300. If I use it to create 30,000 PDF's, the cost is only 1¢ per PDF.

That's why after all these years I'm still using Word, Excel, AOL, Photoshop, Corel Draw and Corel Paint. They sure were expensive when I bought them a couple of decades ago, but they are really, really cheap now, almost FREE!

Spencer, did you pay for the PDF writer or use a free one. Inquiring minds want to know...!

I have Primo PDF and yes it was a free download. Robert I installed your recommendation on my other laptop. I assume they are basically the same? Thanks again.
