It is very easy to convert a series of images into a single PDF document using a program called convert from the ImageMagick package. You'll need to install ImageMagick which is easy on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Say your images are JPEGs which were scanned labelled:

  • scan0001.jpg
  • scan0002.jpg
  • scan0003.jpg etc...

The command you would run to put them in a single PDF file would be:

convert scan*.jpg scans.pdf

You can use the wildcard character (*) so you could use all the PNG images in a directory using:

convert *.png images.pdf
