TIFF to PDF conversion

Post by patmar »

I am trying to convert a multipage TIFF file to PDF file using both covert and tiff2pdf in Linux. The resulted PDF file is 1MB which is almost the same as the original TIFF file. The same PDF file is available by Google converted using Google Books PDF Converter which is about 145KB. The quality is the same to my eyes. I did use resize but the quality drastically changed. So just wondering how I can shrink the size of my PDF while keeping the quality unchanged. I know this may seem impossible but Google has already done it. The PDF file from Google can be downloaded from here:

I can also send the TIFF file but couldn't find the "attach file" for this forum.

Any help how to achieve this file size using powerful ImageMagick is appreciated.
