TIFF -> PDF conversion

Anyone know any free TIFF -> PDF conversion software/API? Looking for something I can call to convert TIFFs to PDFs in a batch, so either needs to be callable from a command line or through an API. I've googled and found loads that initially seem to be free, but most are trials limited by time or with watermarks. Ideally…

I've googled and found loads that initially seem to be free, but most are trials limited by time or with watermarks. Ideally looking for something someone's used themselves.

Thanks

Download and install irfanview

Download pdf plugin and install to plugin folder

Use the batch conversion funtion in the file menu and output to pdf

Just tested it and works great (with jpgs anyway)
