I have several photos, which I wish to print on a single piece of paper. I have already tried:
Using
convert
to combine all images per side. However, now I need to print them two-sided.Using
convert
to combine them into a single PDF for some reason results in each page being extra long, with the top half being blank, and the bottom half containing the image I need. See example of one such page below.If these were EPS files rather than images, I could combine them into a single file before printing them two-sided. However, this is not an option for image files.
Even combining them into a single TIF file would not allow
lpr
to print them two-sided.Naively sending them to
lpr
two files at a time, such as vialpr -o sides=two-sided-long-edge file1.tif file2.tif
results in them being printed on two separate pages, since the system creates a separate
lpr
instance for each of the files.
Note: Conversion packages with a 2
in the middle, such as img2pdf
and tiff2ps
, are not available on my system.
pdftk
is available actually. If that can lead to a solution, feel free to post it.convert
doesn't seem to correct the files correctly; instead, this huge white gap appears above the image. I don't know if that's a bug with convert, or if there's something wrong with the program that created the images (since all images do this), or if there's some setting that needs to change. But I currently don't know what else can convert these PNG's into PDF's.
