That works with convert like I described. If it complains about the images, they are most probably corrupt. Maybe an xsane/backend problem. What I don't understand: do you want to print the resulting file or do you want to get a PDF? While PDF and postscript are similar, postscript is usually used for pronting. > I came from Windows, PageKeeper or OmniPager or PaperPort will do > the job and then print all images to a pdf file forming a book.

Did you read http://www.trilon.com/xv/pricing.html? It's shareware and costs 25$ if you like it :-) For commercial use, you must register. > I shall be much appreciated if you can pass me some additional > information whether XV has more and less same feature as those Windows > application as mentioned before Try it and read the documentation. Maybe seraching at freshmeat.net also finds applications that fit your needs. Bye, Henning
