Convert .JPGs to PDFs
September5
Sometimes you need to take a pic of a document say, and then put it into a pdf. Here’s how. In Linux.
You’ll need the awesome imagemagick package first. To install it, use..
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Once that’s in, open a terminal window. Navigate to the folder you have the images in and then just run the command…
convert the_image.jpg the_document.pdf
Got multiple JPGs and need to squeeze all the images into the same pdf?
convert *.jpg the_document.pdf
Need to reduce the images to 1024 pixels across by whatever down and strip out meta data in the JPG files first though? Fer security and confidentiality?
mogrify -strip -resize 1024x *.JPG
