You could use g32pbm and pnmtops to convert the G3 files to postscript.
Then use ps2pdf to convert the postscript output to PDF.  g32pbm is included
with mgetty, pnmtops is part of the pbm toolkit, and ps2pdf of Aladdin
Ghostscript.
Here is the new_fax script I use.  Hope this helps.

Subject:	incoming fax images to PDF ?

Hi,

Is there any tools or utilities that can convert the
incoming fax images in G3 into one single PDF file as that
would save the trouble of finding a TIF viewer in particular
for M$ machines.

TIA.

Regards

singsing
