We purchased the command line image to pdf tool. The documentation says that it converts TIFF also. What is the difference between the image to pdf and the image to pdf-ocr for command line?

"Image to PDF Converter Command Line" software can be used to convert from TIFF files to PDF files too.
"Image to PDF Converter Command Line" software does convert TIFF, PNG, JPG, BMP, TGA, PCX, etc. files to PDF files directly, it hasn't OCR function, the text contents in resultant PDF files are not searchable.
"Image to PDF Converter OCR Command Line" software includes all functions which included in "Image to PDF Converter Command Line" software, but it supports OCR function, it will recognize text contents in image files and insert them as a text layer into the PDF files, so you could search text contents in resultant PDF files easily, it's very useful for index and search text contents in PDF files.
