You can't properly convert a TIFF file to a JPEG file. JPEG files 
contain only one image. TIFF files contain entire documents. If you try 
to convert a multi-page TIFF file to a JPEG file the result will depend 
on the conversion tool. Most tools are too stupid to do anything 
sensible with multi-page TIFFs. You might get the first page, or the 
last, or even some random junk. Actually most image handling tools 
really suck, and they suck worst when handling TIFF.
