Hi all, 

I'm a complete newbie with imagemagick and I am trying to combine a sequence 
of gif images into pdf pages for easy printing. I am not managing that very 
well so far, and so I have a bunch of questions below.

My images' size are 650x510 and I want to place 2 images vertically on each 
pdf page so that they fill as much of the page as possible.

I have tried the following which seems to be a good start:
montage -page A4 -tile 1x2 -geometry +0+0 -frame 2 003.gif 004.gif page1.pdf

However from here I have a problem: the pdf doesn't print well because it has 
no vertical margin. I tried changing the geometry by having +0+10 for example 
but it doesn't seem to help and a 20px margin appears between the 2 images, 
which I do not want.

So for my questions:
* can I specify margins for top and bottom globally for the resulting montage 
but leave the space between the image at 0?
* is there a way to define margins as pdf properties instead of in the image?
* can montage generate a multipage pdf document (I have about 100 gif, and 
basically I want to create one 50-page pdf document)?

In case this is important: I would prefer not to perform any scaling on the 
images because their quality is quite poor. I was hoping I could include them 
as-is in the pdf file and leave the pdf to specify the print size, I think 
this will give me the best print result, yes?

Thanks in advance!
Tim.
