Better then to load the page you make in a browser, print that to a postscript file and turn that into PDF with ps2pdf.

Haven't figured it all out yet, but montage -geometry 320x320 -tile 2x3 img1.jpg img2.jpg img3.jpg img4.jpg img8.jpg img111.jpg new.jpg already gives some result you might be able to work with. You'll have to play with the settings a bit though. -geometry tells montage how big the images have to be displayed in the new picture. Slap the new images in a webpage and run html2pdf (I know that exists somewhere), or perhaps even load them into OO and export that as PDF. One never knows... Good luck!

It should be easily possible to fix it to produce something that can be converted to pdf correctly. This may mean editing makethumbs.sh and learning about XML/FO, but you might get lucky and only have to configure makethumbs correctly. -- Richard Urwin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This is one of the few things that makes me used Win4Lin. ArcSoft PhotoPrinter has templates for sheets of various sizes of photo, and you can import the relevant number of graphic files from any directory. It handles simple editing like rotate, flip and crop, but nothing more. I wish someone could write something similar for linux.

Omar I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if you just want to place 6 photos on the document, you can use OpenOffice. Set the page to A4, select Insert-->Graphics-->From file. Then you can manipulate the photos around, and when finished, File-->Export as PDF. If, on the other hand, you want a batch command to do it I'm not aware of any, but maybe the "mogrify" command in ImageMagick is a way to go.

[newbie] graphics question
Hi all, Maybe this question should not be on this list, but I didn't know where else to put it. I have around 400 jpeg images and I want to put 3x2 images on an A4 size document, preferrably in PDF format. Is there a way to do this in Mandrake 10.1. I recall having this kind of functionality in Photoshop. Any ideas suggestions?? Thanks... Omar Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
