Two suggestions.
First IM's PDF generator while reasonable is not great, just basic.
You may be better off converting images to individual PDF pages and then
using a more specialised PDF generator to merge them togeter creating
the desired index pages.
Suggestions about this has been (and can be) contributed to
IM examples, Misc Formats, PDF
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#pdf
Examples include using perl PDF generators and a java PDF merger.
Second... For montage look at the section on IM examples...
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/
You may be particularly interested in the part on
Indexes of Image Directories
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#index
which a few different ways IM can be used for this.
