Looking for methods to convert JPG and TIFF files to PDF documents that are destined to be printed to a Print through Windows Driver Printer (using a variable with printer name).

Thought of using alambic to merge the JPG image to a new PDF, but TIF is not supported.

option explicit

dim MyPDF, pageRect
set MyPDF = Watch.GetPDFEditObject
set pageRect = CreateObject("AlambicEdit.PdfRect")

pageRect.left = 0
pageRect.right = 612
pageRect.bottom = 0
pageRect.Top = 792

MyPDF.Create("c:\temp\new.pdf")
MyPDF.Pages.Insert 0, pageRect
MyPDF.Pages.Item(0).Merge "c:\temp\orig.jpg", 5, 5, 0, 1
MyPDF.Save true
MyPDF.Close

Do not have Imaging licensed so it is not available to use.

You could simply pre-process your TIFF files to PNG or JPEG using e.g. ImageMagick and merge the resulting PNG using AlambicEdit.

Alternatively, you could use either a PlanetPress v7.6 form or a Connect template with a blank page and insert the images as dynamic resources. A bit more resource-intensive (and, arguably, overkill), but it would do it in a single pass.
