That works for single files, if what you want to do is link all the photos into a single document you need to insert them into a document then "print" it.

If it is literally compiling a group of photos into a single pdf,
it is hard to imagine anything easier than the single "convert"
command I posted in this thread yesterday...

Tried that - seems it didn't agree with keeping the photos in their alpha/numerical order, and just randomly inserted whichever photo wherever it wanted.
I'll take a further peek later - not really too concerned at the moment, unless Daniel has issues.
