Syukri: Thanks for reporting that! I've added the older version into the post. Note: It doesn't handle case-variability in file extensions right now, so will try to add that soon. @A.

I cannot fathom right now why I made it so complicated!

I cannot fathom right now why I made it so complicated! The only reason I needed a temp folder was to deal with the intermediate PDFs, which I don't at all need as your example shows. I'll rework the post shortly, thanks very much for the correction! @andreas Your invocation works perfectly well. I cannot fathom right now why I made it so complicated!

Actually that command probably looks trickier than it is. The for loop iterates over each item in the FILES variable (i.e. all the image files we want to convert). For each item BASE is set to the image filename with the extension (".jpg") stripped. This is so we can title our output the same as the original. In the convert step, we use BASE to specify what image to convert and also what to call the resultant PDF. Hope that helps! @Montebelo I’m glad it worked for you!

I had problems with the "convert" (from imagemagick) because it makes my computer run out of memory when I want to convert a lot of image files into one pdf. This seems to solve the problem. I just wich I could understand all the those BASE=$ commands. lol It worked very very well!
