Convert imagefile to PDF without rerender image

[anthony]

The very act of reading a JPEG image data is where the JPEG distortion will occur.
The only way you can convert a JPG image to PDF without re-renedering is to somehow incorperate the JPEG data into the file PDF as is, without parsing it.

IM will not do this as it is primarilly a generalised image processor, not a spcific JPEG to PDF converter. your only solution is to find a specific JPEg to PDF converter that will preserve the JPEg data as is.

Sorry. IM is the wrong tool. You want a sledge hammer, not a fine toothed saw.

The program HTMLDOC will create a PDF that includes a jpg. If not directly, you may need to make an html page that references the jpg, at which you can convert to PDF.
