img2pdf 1.01 by Arnab Bose (C) 2011.
Commandline utility to (i) merge pdfs (ii) split pdfs and (iii) print images onto pdfs.

Usage:
img2pdf [options] <content> [<content>]...
    content: <imagefile>|[<pages>:]<pdffile.pdf>
        Can be an image, or a pdf file. Can contain wildcards.
        For a pdf file, it can be optionally preceeded by "<pages>::".
        For example, 2-4,6::file.pdf will only extract corresponding four pages.
    options: Options can be any of below, and can be repeated.
        -dpi<dpi> - To override detected dpi of the image. Default is 0.
        -margin<margin> - Change the page margin in pixels. Default is 36.
        -center[-] - Enable [disable] centering. Default is enabled.
        -shrink[-] - Enable [disable] automatic shrinking for large images. Default is disabled.
        -resize[-] - Enable [disable] resizing to fit image to page. Default is disabled.
        -duplex[-] - Enable [disable] aligning for duplex print. Default is disabled.
        -odd - Ensures next file starts at an odd page number. Unnecessary if -duplex is enabled.
        -out<filename> - Change output file name. Default is _output.pdf.

Example:
    img2pdf -center- sunset.jpg ocean.jpg -outholiday.pdf
    The above disables centering, stores two jpeg files into holiday.pdf.

I needed a commandline Windows utility to merge pdfs and print image files onto pdf files. There were some in the web, but none seemed to have all the features I wanted. So I put together one for me.

Features in this that are not apparently present in online implementations -

• Duplex mode for merging - Eg. if a pdf has 3 pages and next has 4 pages, this can automatically insert a page inbetween so that different pdfs will not be mixed when printing on both sides.
• Scaling is optional - Does not automatically stretch a image on the whole page!
• Full control through command line - Can be used easily in scripts.
• One program seamlessly integrates merging, splitting, and image conversion.
• Handles JPEG, PNG, GIF, EMF etc. - and all other image formats natively supported by the .Net framework.

Known issues: May not work on PDFs composed with Acrobat 6 as input.

The result is one nice little tool very useful to me - hope you find it helpful too!
