OT: a PDF Question

OT: a PDF Question

[Alex Snow]

Hi,
I've been doing a lot of scanning of books lately, and was trying to 
figure out how to do this in linux.  I have a book completely scanned 
using Sane, with each page in a separate image file.  My question is, is 
there a program that can put all these image files into a single pdf, 
one image per page, for easier storage? with the right program making 
PDFs from books in linux would be extremely easy, but I haven't found 
this program.  I know the pdfs wouldn't be OCR'ed, but I would do that 
with finereader or the like in windows since it seems better then 
anything out there for linux currently.

The imagemagick package has a number of command-line tools.
One of them called convert should do what you want, you will just have to 
read some man pages.
start with man convert and take it from there.
