[Solved] TIF to PDF: huge file size

I converted TIF to PDF.
Filesize of TIF: 150 - 250 kB
Filesize of PDF: 17 -18 MB
And changing the settings (LZW, FAX, ZIP, ..) has no result - all the files are the same, only date and title are different.
Peter
PS: Optimizing the files with PDF Tools reduces the size vom 17 MB to 310 kB.

No, a black/White scan with 400 TIF.

Ok, so it's normal, JPEG convert it in greyscale
