If you are assuming that part 1 and part 2 occur simultaneously then this question becomes redundant. To clarify, the image processing that will be done further down the line requires original PNG files, but multi-page PDF's are easier to manage than multiple PNG files using tools like Zotero
Using PDFBox Apache mentioned in question's comment, and running the command java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.23.jar PDFToImage -prefix pdfbox -format PNG -dpi 300 tiff2pdf.pdf produces image of size 25.3 MiB.
