Merge multiple JPG files and save as PDF in Ubuntu

I had a bunch of scanned pages from a document that was sent to me via email and whose pages I each needed to sign. Now I wanted to send back the document as one. A quick google search revealed a handy dandy tool already pre-installed in Ubuntu 13.04.

The “Imagemagick” imaging tool has a nifty command line trick. The “convert”.

To convert a bunch of images into one PDF document, you have to place all images in one location, and then run the command like so.

convert *.jpg somefilename.pdf

and that’s it. 🙂
