How to convert all tif files in one folder to pdf and save in another location without looping through, in bash script?

find /home/folder1/folder2/folder3/my\ Raw\ Data/"$1"/"$2"/"$3"/"$4" -type f -name "*.tif" -exec bash -c 'tiff2pdf "$1" -o "${1%.tif}".pdf' - '{}' \;

This is my bash script to convert tif files in /home/folder1/folder2/folder3/my\ Raw\ Data/"$1"/"$2"/"$3"/"$4" to pdf .The output pdf will also get saved in same location, But I want the output pdf in /home/folder1/folder2/folder3/my\ Raw\ Data/"$1"/"$2"/"$3"/backup. How is it possible without using a loop? Is there any solution for this ?

Here's a way to get them all done in parallel, without any loops, using GNU Parallel:

cd /path/to/tiffs && parallel tiff2pdf {} -o ../backup/{.}.pdf ::: *tif

Try like this first to see what it would do, without doing anything:

cd /path/to/tiffs && parallel --dry-run tiff2pdf {} -o ../backup/{.}.pdf ::: *tif

Here's another way with ImageMagick:

cd /path/to/tiffs && magick mogrify -path ../backup -format PDF *tif
