HOW TO USE

1. Create PDF 'document.pdf' from all JPEG files in current directory:

    jpeg2pdf *.jpg -o document.pdf
	

2. Create PDF 'scans.pdf' with:
   page size determined by maximum image size,
   page orientation forced to 'portrait',
   preserve the original dpi of images (don't scale),
   crop the height of each page at image borders
   (yields good results for scans with white background and correct dpi)

    jpeg2pdf -o scans.pdf -p auto -n portrait -z none -r height *.jpg

3. Create PDF 'from_photos.pdf' with:
   A5 paper size,
   landscape orientation,
   fit the width of images (fw -- fit width),
   crop the height of each page
   (works well for properly cropped photos of A5 pages in landscape
    with unknown/wrong dpi and approximately correct widths)
   
    jpeg2pdf -o from_photos.pdf -p A5 -n landscape -z fw -r height *.jpg
	
4. It is possible to specify the title, author, subject, keyword, and creator
   of produced PDF document with switches -t, -a, -s, -k, -c:

    jpeg2pdf -o doc.pdf -t "The Title of PDF" -a Andrew -c jpeg2pdf *.jpg
