Can anyone recommend some good software for high volume PDF creation ?
We are converting large PDF's with often 500+ tiff image files at a time scanned at 300dpi to PDF and need something that will be up to the job.
Adobe Acrobat is not up to it and Prime OCR is very expensive.
Any recommendations ?

You could look at Adobe Capture as an option.
I know it's used a lot within network fax solutions for converting TIFF's in to PDF documents.

Acrobat Distiller does that too.
Capture will take it straight from the scanner, whereas distiller just has an in-folder and an out-folder, you just throw in the files and it works through them.

Aha bingo, Headway supplied our Scanners 
I'll give them a bell to enquire, thanks for the help
workshy_fopp - Unfortunately, Distiller is not up to the job. It took over 4 hours to process one report

Capture or Disltiller Server should do the job.
If you need help let me know as I know lots of people at Adobe and have a meeting with them on Friday.

We are using Kofax Ascent Capture, but the Adobe software takes forever to convert our documents. We use Prime OCR on another site whic does the job much faster and with much better compression, but its very expensive.

Because Kofax uses the same engine as Capture I can't see your throughput being much greater by separating the two processes - i.e. scan then capture won't be much faster than using a Kofax workflow. You'd also get the benefits of automatic batching and exception handling using the integrated Kofax approach.

I've seen it in use at a company called Headway, who are the distributor for it in the UK and it looked nice and easy to use, and an easy way to store/convert files in to PDF.
I've also heard other people's views on it and they've all been very good. I know that one bank is using it for a large system (1000's of faxes a day) and it's fine.
