Concatinating PDF files

I am converting TIFF images of patents to PDF files. Each patent comes
in about 20 seperate TIFF images and I want to put them all in the one
PDF file. Is there a way to do this? Using the Image library I think
you can only convert individual TIFF images to PDF?

Maybe there is a way of concatinating these files or maybe there is a
way to create the PDF from the TIFFs in the first place?

There is a way, but you don't have to do it. Go to the site
http://free.patentfetcher.com/Patent-Fetcher-Form.php, enter the patent
number, and it will create a PDF you can download. If for some reason
the site does not work, search google for "fetch patent" and you'll
find some more.

I use `tiffcp` for concatenating and `tiff2pdf` to convert multipage tiffs
to PDF. Both command line programs are part of `libtiff`:
