I was hoping that someone on this list might be able to help me out
producing some documentation.
I've got a number of gifs, which are A4 pages scanned in high
resolution. What I'd like to do is to compile them together as a PDF.
Naively I initially tried using:
for i in page*; do gif2ps $i >> out.ps; done; ps2pdf out.ps
and it works to a fashion, but gif2ps doesn't appear to produce colour
postscript, and also it leaves a huge margin around the page which I'd
like to reduce. The other thing I'd like to do is to add a text message
to the bottom of each page describing where the original came from.
Does anyone know of anything more sophisticated than gif2ps for the job?
Joe
