How 2 create a pdf document holding image scan files

Hi all!
Today I’m gonna share with you how to create a pdf document holding several images scan files.
You probably have already asked yourself sometimes on how it would be great if you could easily create a pdf file from a bunch of image files after using you scanner. I have.
Some scanner manufacturers do already provide ways to do multiple scans into a resulting pdf file, if this is your case you can stop reading now.
As a Linux user and as a legacy scanner holder(but still an excellent unit) i found this an excellent way to achieve my task:

1. You need to install ImageMagick. In fedora you can do that by typing:

   yum install ImageMagick

2. Next change directory into where you got your scans.
   In my case:

   cd ~/scans

   All my scans are auto-generated names as follows:

   SCAN_001.png
   SCAN_002.png
   ...
   SCAN_012.png

3. To get your pdf just type:

   convert SCAN_[0-9]{3}.png book.pdf

   and it’s done.

To see the result just open the result book.pdf file.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this tip.
