I've got a number of gifs, which are A4 pages scanned in high resolution. What I'd like to do is to compile them together as a PDF. Naively I initially tried using: for i in page*; do gif2ps $i >> out.ps; done; ps2pdf out.ps and it works to a fashion, but gif2ps doesn't appear to produce colour postscript, and also it leaves a huge margin around the page which I'd like to reduce. The other thing I'd like to do is to add a text message to the bottom of each page describing where the original came from. Does anyone know of anything more sophisticated than gif2ps for the job?
