If the other method didn't work, I think that I once used GIMP to convert a PNG to a PDF. It's worth a try. Even so, assuming that you can convert each PNG to a PDF, I can recommend this command line program (PDF tool kit....aka pdftk) for gluing together many individual PDFs into one PDF. I was using it on a Windows machine, but it seems like it comes also with Mac installer, and possibly Linux may have a package. If you are going to use it, read their example page, and possibly their man page, first. Not that hard to set up and get going. http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/ If there is better free alternative out there for Linux (or cross-platform), please let me know. :-) -- Nicholas On 12/12/13 12:00 PM, tclug-list-request at mn-linux.org wrote: > Send tclug-list mailing list submissions to > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tclug-list-request at mn-linux.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tclug-list-owner at mn-linux.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of tclug-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
