Greetings list,
I recently purchased an Epson Perfection 4490 Office
W/Document Feeder
(ADF) and it is working very nicely using iscan (
htt
p://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html ) .
The reason for getting this scanner in the first place was a
discussion
on this list where it was recommended, so thank you.
Now, I only have one question with regards to it, and that
is merging
multiple images into a single PDF file. When scanning I get
files in the
format somename-####.jpg , .pnm or .png depending on the
format I
specify. and I would very much like to merge them into a
single file to
send out.
I've tried to get this to work using a couple of different
approaches.
Using ImageMagick's convert was one of them, both into PDF
directly and
into PostScript and convert it to PDF using ps2pdf
afterwards, but both
of these approaches were un-successful in the terms of
acceptable
output. I tried adjusting -density and -page but I still
don't get
acceptable output from my 300dpi scans.
In addition I tried a perl script called jpg2pdf, which is
supposed to
generate "albums" from multiple images, but that
as well was unsuccessful.
After that I considered creating my own online PDF-service
using FPDF (
http://www.fpdf.org/ ),
but the initial testing shows that the cropping
gets all wrong. That said this is the approach that has
gotten me the
furthest as of yet and that I'm most likely to persue unless
someone has
a good suggestion for me. The downside is of course the
transfer of >
1MB image files and downloading the resulting PDF file
again.
Yours sincerely,

Try Tumble: http://tumble.brouhaha.co
m/
Unfortunately there hasn't been any release since 2003.
I extended Tumble to support PNG and JPEG 2000 as well.
You can find the patch in the Tumble-devel archive.

I've just been using a simple python script which feeds each pnm file to pnmtops and concat's the output into a huge array which is then feeds to ps2pdf. Works pretty well and really simple.

I ended up just using PHP and FPDF, if anyone wants it they
can grab the
file at http://dev.kfwebs.
net/convert.phps . I just run it locally as
php -f convert.php and it converts all the *.jpg files in
the folder
into a PDF file.
Sorry to disturb.
