This, indeed, did the trick.<BR>

Using gThumb was not a good option in that it really didn't scale well to a thousand pictures. Using jpeg2ps -> psmerge -> ps2pdf would have worked but for one small problem: psmerge is very picky. It didn't like the fact, for instance, that one of my pages was in colour and the next in grayscale. Nor did it like it when I had the occasional landscaped page even after I took out the few colour pages. Psmerge works fine, but only if each image is identical in several key aspects (size, colour format, orientation, etc.). If I had more regular pages, the pstools approach would have worked too.<BR>

Jpeg2pdf, however, did it all, did it in one step and had no problems with the occasional differently-formatted page.<BR>
