I am trying to create a PDF from several JPG's using convert:

convert -verbose 1.jpg 2.jpg test.pdf

This only adds the first JPG to the test.pdf. It ignores the second and any subsequent JPG's.

Here is the output of the above command:

1.jpg JPEG 1164x1600 1164x1600+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 811.566kb 0.470u 0:02
2.jpg JPEG 1159x1600 1159x1600+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 870.332kb

I am using IM 6.3 and ghostview-esp 8.15.

Any help would be appreciated.

We tried your command with ImageMagick 6.3.4-10, the current release, and it produced the expected results (two images in the PDF).

Good thought but upgrading to 6.3.4 didn't help.

What version of ghostscript are you using?

Alturnative PDF generation from images are given in IM examples of PDF specific info.

Feedback is helpful, as these are contributed solutions, not ones I have used myself.

Remember IM is a raster image processor, while PDF is a vector image, it does a good job, but may not be the best for a specific vector format.
