Add images in existing pdf file from command line

[and]

Hello!

I must add images to the end of an existing PDF file.
Tried using the command:
convert 1.jpg -adjoin 1.pdf.

The file is rewrite with only one this image.
Is it possible to do this at all with the command line?

You need an output image and an input image and the extra page image. So if you have 1.pdf and want to add 1.jpg, you would do

Code: Select all

convert 1.pdf 1.jpg 1.pdf

But Imagemagick will rasterize your pdf. So any vector data will not be preserved. Also you may need to specify the density for decoding your input pdf.

Code: Select all

convert -density XXX 1.pdf 1.jpg 1.pdf

Both commands lead to an error.
