Interesting thought, thanks. It's easy enough. Creates a huge pdf though - there must be a switch for that, but more importantly, it manages to create a pdf which ghostscript 8.15 (= reasonably recent) barfs on, and that with a "document" which is hard to beat in triviality (it contains 1 image). The latter is a k.o. - no ghostscript, no printing. More alternatives: 5) Put pnmtops -width 8.263 -height 11.69 -imagewidth 8.263 -imageheight 11.69 "$@" into a script file called pnmtops-A4. Then run tifftopnm | pnmtops-A4 > out.ps; ps2pdf14 out.ps; rm out.ps Likewise with jpegtopnm, pngtopnm and a few others. This is my preferred option so far.
