There are a set of command line tools I've used to turn a batch of images
into a pdf, ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.com/ (They are usually
included with Linux distributions, I believe Windows versions are available)
To batch-convert a bunch of .tif to a pdf you just do this:
convert -compress JPEG -adjoin *tiff pdf:all_these_files_in_one.pdf
You might want to experiment and see if gif or png give better compression
on manuals, they may given they are line drawings not photographs.
