Hello List,
Anyone out there creating PDF files with Linux? If so, with what software?
Basically I have a bunch of stuff to scan and convert into PDF and jpg files. Jpg is easy but I'm not so sure about PDF....
Thanks, Jo
Hi Jo, Convert your original image format into PostScript, (*.ps) (the 'convert' program from ImageMagick will probably be good for this) then use 'ps2pdf' (part os 'ghostscript') to convert that to PDF:
ps2pdf file.ps
leading to a file 'file.pdf'.
If these are scanned images, then the PS files are likely to be huge. The PDF files, being compressed, will be smaller but still large. Good luck.
Ted.
