Hi, I've been sucessfully using a simple bash script to convert scanned images of documents to pdf files:
#! /bin/bash echo Enter Input and Output File names \(*.bmp output.pdf\) read INPUT OUTPUT /usr/bin/convert $INPUT -quality 80 $OUTPUT For a smaller number of images, it works relatively quickly. With a larger number of images it seems to create a 114Mb file for each image to be added in /tmp. If I make sure there is enough room on the partition for (I use a symbolic link) it works for relatively large numbers of images, say up to at least 50. For large jobs of over 100 images for example, it creates the files in /tmp, but fails at some point when it tries to write the pdf. Besides it failing, another problem is that the compter is almost unusable when convert is running. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to recursively add each new image to the pdf? I haven't been able to do it, using convert to joint two pdfs results in an unreasonably large file and also seems slow. Thanks for any suggestions, Chris -- C.
