    Re: Any Linux apps that let you convert a file into PDF's?

    OK, now I'm going to explain myself. I don't need to convert a single file to a PDF one but let's say 50 PNG to a single PDF. Does convert allow me to do that?

    It's kind of important to me to some extend because I want to make a comic book or graphic novel of my own and to be able to save it as a PDF or anything else.

      ImageMagick will do what you are wanting. That said, I don't know the commands, but you will find what you are looking for in the ImageMagick v6 Examples -- Image File Handling section of the FAQ.

        It does seem like ImageMagic is a good solution. However, I still want to put in a good word for Ooo. It is very capable. I have used it to do a whole newspaper and that without doing it their way and going through a whole learning curve. It's just a tool and doesn't care about whether you use it conventionally or not. You can just use it however you want and it will take care of the rest. Documents don't have to be in their format, you just drag them in with the mouse pointer. Once there, save to pdf.

          I prefer OOo too.

          I can place and size the graphics exactly the way I want, with or with out captions or interspersed text, and when all looks write I let OOo create the pdf.

            Open any file in it's associated program be it text, image, or whatever and go to file -> print. Select PDF. That's it!

              Well, I found out there's a OOo and LO extension that makes documents out of pictures. AddPics

                    If you want to go the gui route, converseen is a batch converter that uses imagemagick to convert multiple images into pdf files on a one-to-one basis. Then use pdfchain to join them together.
