Rename the file to be lowercase, value in tiffile(and in the array
created by Dir.glob) is unchanged...

I think base name is case sensitive, so ".tif" does not match '.TIF'
so .pdf is appended instead
of replacing '.TIF'

When you go look at the directory the files are in lowercase because
your script has made them so.
Have you tried re-running on the dir of lower-case names?
