Creating PDF's from multiple files of different formats
 
I have read alot about exporting or printing to PDF using open office. Haven t tried it but its pretty standard to be able to do that from a word processor so I'm not worried about it.

here is an example of what I need to do. I just put together my wifes resume.

I had the cover sheet in .doc I had the resume in .doc I had a pdf of some ground plans for large scale gardens she had done and I had a few new pix in jpeg.
I was able to go into Lightening PDF hit create new, pull all those files in, sort them in the order I needed and it created a single mutipage .pdf from those files.

Any luck on finding something like that for linux? That would be just about the last piece of software (If I can make wings work for me) that I need to start testing ubuntu as a primary operating system.

Thanks everyone!

If you have them all in PDF already, you can join the pdfs using ghostscript:

Code:

gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=final.pdf 1.pdf 2.pdf ...

Take a look at PDFedit.

Also, for console there is pdftk.
