convert imagefiles... file.pdf

However, this is very RAM hungry.

To convert black-and-white scanned documents to a
PDF in A4 size, I normally do:

tiffcp -c g4 *.tiff /tmp/all.tiff
tiff2ps -w 8.27 -h 11.69 -a -1 -p /tmp/all.tiff /tmp/all.ps
ps2pdf -dUseFlateCompression -sPAPERSIZE=a4 /tmp/all.ps document.pdf
