Hi,

is there a way to convert a TIF or PNG to PDF without the use of a
commercial library?

iText is good: A) The API is usable B) There are examples C) There is a
mailing list that gets good traffic.

All the best,

I was on two projects over the last year or so that used iText extensively.
The "PDF guy" in the projects was a moderately experienced Java programmer,
but not a Guru, and he had little to no trouble with it. He got beautiful
pages out with a minimum of effort.

This was in a Servlet/JSP environment where the PDFs were viewed through the
browser on the client side. It did not, however, involve converting graphics
to PDF.

That recommends the product to me.
