convert jp2 to pdf

[JFreeman]

Can i use convert to encapsulate jp2 files in
one pdf?

I i just have jpg files a

Code: Select all

convert *.jpg test.pdf

works fine and the pdf size is the sum of the jpg sizes.

A

Code: Select all

convert *.jp2 test.pdf

seems to convert the jp2 files in another image format (jpg?).
This results in a huge file size.

Can i tell convert not to do this?

I know since pdf 1.5 jp2 is supported.

I am not an expert on this format. But do you have the jasper delegate library installed? It is needed for jp2 (jpeg2000) format images, I believe. You can confirm this by typing

convert -list configure

and look at the line starting with DELEGATES. If it has jp2 listed then you have it installed. If not try getting it. See http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/ or google it to get a more current version.

Also see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#jpg under related JPG formats

I get

Code: Select all

convert -list configure

Under LIBS jasper is listed, but my version seems to be old. Since I am at work I try to install a new version in user space.

Your IM is extremely old at 6.2.4. IM is now at 6.5.8-6. So that is about 350 versions old. Update IM if you can and also your delegate libraries.
