I have just over 100 jpeg files that I'd like to publish into a single pdf
file. Is there a simple way to do this?

I can create an html page which displays all of the jpeg images,
then print to a postscript file and use ps2pdf, but that seems a bit
inelegant. (There's probably an html2pdf or html2ps program out there,
too, but I"d just as soon not have to create the html page.)

I believe so: ImageMagick's convert command:

convert *.jpg publish.pdf

I can't think of how much simplier you can get...

...if you want them 1 to a page.

The OP probably wants montage (also part of ImageMagick).

convert was along the lines of what I wanted. I had scanned a 115 page
manual, and wanted to get things into a single pdf file. Separate pages in
that file will be fine. I find that my original image sizes (~400k to
700k) make for too large a file, and the application terminates. Single
images convert fine. Thanks for your help.
