SPUGgles,
In order to package my conference slides
(http://teachmeperl.com/slides_03.html) more conveniently
for downloading, I'd like to be able to bundle the 30+ JPEGs
of each talk into a single PDF file. I know this won't save
me any storage 8-}, but it would allow people to download a
single file, that they can page through using Acrobat Reader
(or GhostView).
I've looked at a few PDF* modules, but none of them seems to
have a method for incorporating images; all they talk about
is text.
Can anybody give me some pointers in how to accomplish this
goal, or give me a better alternative?
-Tim
P.S. Although I compose my presentations using a modified
Magicpoint system (see http://teachmeperl.com/mg2mgp.html),
and there is ostensibly a Magicpoint to PDF converter, it
rarely works. Although it can create working PDFs for small
or simple presentations, for my large and complicated ones,
the PDFs generate inscrutable errors ("/undefined", etc.) when
you try to view them, which is why I've given up on distributing
in that format.
