"Can we do it using servelts/jsp technology?"

I have used the Apache FOP project to create PDFs in a servlet environment. According to this page the TIFF format is supported by FOP to some extent. According to this page, the popular iText toolkit supports TIFF graphics.

I suggest your first step should be getting a TIFF to PDF conversion working in a stand-alone application.

TIFF is the standard image encoding scheme in PostScript, and PDF is a specialized type of PostScript. So if you are so inclined, you can take a TIFF, wrap it with the appropriate surrounding data, and emerge as a PDF.

Which is a pretty straightforward job for a servlet. You probably could do it as a JSP without too much trouble.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
