Unfortunately, I did interpret the OP to mean to not suggest an IM 
solution which is why I didn't post the following yesterday:

$ convert -resize 800x600 *.jpg -density 72 -units pixels-per-inch -page 
800x600 big.ps

$ convert big.ps big.pdf

There's obviously a bug if IM is segfaulting, but the above solution 
works ok. If OP plays around with the myriad of options, I'm sure he 
could get the output exactly as he wants it.
