Image to PDF

parker.andrew · 03-28-2005, 03:59 PM

I'm looking for an application that runs on Linux that will convert image files (TIF, JPEG, GIF, etc.) to single page PDF files. That is one image in one PDF file out. This can work in batch mode or single file mode as long as it can be fired off from PHP.

Does anyone know of anything like this?

Thanks,
Andy

Why use a shell command if you can do this from inside PHP?
Take a look at FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org/)
This is a PHP library for PDF generation (coded in PHP, no special extension needed).

For your purpose, creating the PDF, putting the image where you want (maybe scale it) and doing the output (to file or directly to browser) should be done in only a few lines.
