[olug] Convert TIFF to PDF with OCR?

I have a few large TIFF files (scanned documents) that have the text
embedded in it (via an OCR) so that it can be searched.

Problem is, the files are very large (about 60MB total).

Since TIFF is un-compressed, I'd like to convert to a PDF.  My only
converter is the print-to-PDF, but that looses the OCR text.

Any suggestions on making the conversion?

Thanks,

Dan
