I'm looking for a free way to create a large batch of tif files (10-20k) into PDF files, ideally with OCR too.
It needs to be callable from the command line in windows.

You can use the XnView application. It's got command line too.
Another alternative might be IrfanView.
You can try LibTiff.Net library for this. It comes with tiff2pdf utility that can be used to create PDF from TIFF files. Unfortunately, there is no support for OCR.
Disclaimer: I am one of the maintainers of the library.
You could possibly use GhostScript to create a PDF from a Tiff via commandline. Or build your own commandline app using iTextSharp to create PDF files.
Not sure about OCRing tho...
