JPG to PDF?

[slughappy1]

I need to convert a whole bunch of jpg files to pdf. I keep reading that imagemagik should be able to do it. I get an error every time though.

jason@Barnaby:~/Documents/Stuff$ convert *.jpg foo.pdf
Segmentation fault
jason@Barnaby:~/Documents/Stuff$

That is is an ongoing problem that's been around for some time. The simplest solution is to install graphicsmagick by way of synaptic. The command is then:

gm convert *.jpg foo.pdf

For additional information on graphicsmagick go to:

Thank you. I didn't even see one reference to graphicsmagik when looking.

I upgraded to lucid a few days ago and decided to see if the included version of imagemagick might be better. As a test, I converted 10 JPEG's that were each about 3 MB each to a PDF without any issue. So, if you are going to upgrade to lucid, you might want to give imagemagick another try.

I do plan on it, thanks.

Thanks vm for this thread. I learned a very useful new command. I am using ubuntu 12.04 ( Actually Pinguy OS based on Ubuntu 12.04) and the command worked very fine on my laptop.
