Can I combine a multi-page TIFF scan into one PDF?

Yes. Every page of a multi-page TIFF becomes one page of the same PDF, in the original order.

Will the scan quality stay the same in the PDF?

Yes. The PDF embeds the image at its original resolution, so scanned text and details look identical to the source TIFF, with no extra recompression added on top.

Why convert old fax TIFFs to PDF?

PDF opens on every device and in every document management system, while many TIFF viewers and fax formats (Group 3/4) are no longer widely supported, so an archive of old faxes stays readable for years to come.

Does the PDF have selectable or searchable text?

No. Each TIFF page is embedded as an image, so the PDF is a faithful visual copy without OCR — you cannot select or search the text unless you run a separate OCR step on the result.

What page size and orientation does the PDF use?

Each page is sized to match the scanned image, so a portrait scan produces a portrait PDF page and a landscape scan produces a landscape page, with no unwanted cropping or stretching.

What happens to a TIFF that has multiple layers or images in one file?

Only the flattened visual content of each page is captured, since a PDF page is a single flat image. Any internal layers or embedded thumbnails inside the TIFF are not carried over separately.

Can I convert several TIFF files into one batch of PDFs at once?

Yes. Add the whole set of scanned TIFFs together and each converts into its own PDF in a single pass, which is convenient for clearing out an entire archive of old scans or faxes in one go.
