PDPage convertToImage() - size question

I am successfully using convertToImage() to convert a PDF to a tiff (using
Image I/O).  Using the following
code: page.convertToImage(BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, 300);

When I view the tif, it is over 3000x1500 px, but the original PDF is
8.5x11.

Is there something I need to do, prior to converting the image, that will
help reduce the height and width of the output tif?

PDFBox 1.5
Java 6
PDF in question is PDF version 1.3

tif Compression Type: CCITT T.6

Try to reduce the resolution, the second parameter of convertToImage.
