Images to pdf

Hi All,

I am wanting to write a script to convert a series of images into a pdf
file. The main question is what would be the best ruby gem to use for doing
this? I was looking at prawn, but not sure it would fit best. I have heard
something about imagemagik, but not too sure. Any ideas and thoughts would
be appreciated.

Thanks.

ImageMagick's (http://www.imagemagick.org/\) command line tool simply
type (or run with ruby's system method):

convert image.jpg document.pdf

Using the ruby interface to Imagemagick (rmagick.rubyforge.org):

require 'rubygems'
require 'RMagick'
Magick::Image.read('image.jpg').first.write('document.pdf')
