    Add the images to a document/presentation in LibreOffice Writer or Impress / Microsoft Word or PowerPoint / Apple Pages or Keynote.

    These all have an Export (or print) to PDF function.

    1. Install ImageMagick
    2. cd your-directory (replace your-directory with the directory where the images are)
    3. convert image001.png image002.png <...> combined.pdf (replace image001.png etc with the list of your images)

    Sounds like a slightly cursed situation to need to convert a folder of images stored in an open format into a singular PDF (a famously proprietary format that Adobe makes it intentionally difficult to work with outside of their software)

    Easiest is probably to toss the images into Word or Libre Office Writer, arrange them as needed and export as PDF (in word select “XPS” as the export option which bypasses Acrobat license requirements)

    If you instead want each page to have different dimensions appropriate to the image for that page I’m not aware of any software that does that other than a paid version of Acrobat (although I wouldn’t be surprised at all if any do exist)

      Really? PDF has been open for like a decade now. There are dozens of open-source engines, and probably like hundreds of applications that handle them.
