'How can I convert a series of images to a PDF from the command line on linux? [closed]

I have a scanning server I wrote in cgi/bash and want to be able to convert a bunch of images (all in one folder) to a pdf from the command line. How can that be done?



Solution 1:[1]

Using imagemagick, you can try:

convert page.png page.pdf

Or for multiple images:

convert page*.png mydoc.pdf

Solution 2:[2]

Use convert from http://www.imagemagick.org. (Readily supplied as a package in most Linux distributions.)

Agreed with Robert and others here. Use something like img2pdf instead.

Usage:

img2pdf img1.png img2.jpg -o out.pdf
