I performed following tests as 'user' in the directory /home/satimis/
where the .jpg files are kept

linux-1.jpg
linux-2.jpg
linux-3.jpg
linux-4.jpg

are 4 .jpg files scanned witn Xsane

# ls -l linux-1.jpg
-rw-r-----    1 satimis  satimis    125631 Mar  2 22:54 linux-1.jpg

# chmod -c 0666 linux-*.jpg
mode of `linux-1.jpg' changed to 0666 (rw-rw-rw-)
mode of `linux-2.jpg' changed to 0666 (rw-rw-rw-)
mode of `linux-3.jpg' changed to 0666 (rw-rw-rw-)
mode of `linux-4.jpg' changed to 0666 (rw-rw-rw-)

# convert linux-1.jpg linux-2.jpg linux-3.jpg linux-4.jpg book.pdf

# convert linux-1.jpg linux-2.jpg linux-3.jpg linux-4.jpg book.pdf
convert: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment (linux-3.jpg)
[No such file or directory].
convert: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment (linux-3.jpg)
[No such file or directory].

a .pdf file has been created in the same directory but with following
mistake

linux-1.jpg  Page-1 Ok
linux-2.jpg  Page-2 3 same images lying side by side horizontally
linux-3.jpg  Page-3 3 same images lying side by side horizontally
linux-4.jpg  Page-4 3 same images lying side by side horizontally

I has viewed each original file separately and they are OK

Any mistake I have committed.

Besides if there are hundred pages can I perform follow;

# convert linux-*.*.jpg book.pdf

Thanks in advance.

B.Regards
