You could write an action that does those exact steps, but break it into two actions. As stated before an uber action.

The first action would run a batch open, convert. Then go to the next file.

Then in that action run a batch save as. I would suggest leaving this as an action that opens a dialogue box, so you can select the destination.

If you need more in depth instructions, I can give them to you unless you don’t need it or someone beats me to it.

I don’t believe Photoshop supports viewing multipage tiffs

That is correct. Adobe bought the Tiff spec from Aldus. I don’t know if multi-page is part of the official spec, or an unofficial enhancement.

Whatever the case, what *I* have to do is open them in an image viewer like ACDSee, which *does* recognize multi-page tiffs, then I print them to distiller from there, and then, if necessary, bring them into Photoshop.
