And for another option:  Depending on what you want as a PDF, you could
use OpenOffice.org to create a document incorporating those images, and
export it as a PDF file.  It can also print to a PDF file, as CUPS
offers a PDF creation driver that any application can print to.

Using a word processor does give you a document with fairly sensible
pagination, and quite a bit of control about how the images will be put
into the page.

If you're wanting some sort of automation script that you can aim at a
directory, you should say so.  Someone might have a good way to do that.
