I need to convert a multi-page TIFF to a multi-page PDF. I have access to ImageMagick and GhostScript (in *nix environment). How do I do this? Thanks.

UPDATE:

It turns out that my test file was wrong (it didn't have multiple pages), which made me think my command was wrong. This seems to work for me: convert input.tif output.pdf

convert multipage.tiff -density 300x300 -compress jpeg multipage.pdf

This should work, though there can be some issues.
