Re: Memory Increase

Hello,

I combined a bunch of JPEGs to a PDF via

convert *.jpg JPEGs.pdf

BTW: Filename globbing via wildcards works perfect on my Windows computer, in contrast to the documentation http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php which claims this to function only for UNIX shells (?).

However, when I extracted the files losslessly from the PDF with the help of PDFimages (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html), the JPEGs were slighty different from the originals. They report the same dimensions and JPEG-quality, but they don't have exactly the same size.

I suspect that ImageMagick somehow re-encoded the JPEGs before it wrapped them into the PDF. 
Is there a way to tell ImageMagick to leave the JPEGs as they are and just to wrap them into a PDF?
