Add k2pdfopt to the wiki ?

https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/ An extremely usefull tool. Tough to build AUR package, but there's someone keeping up with the hard work, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/k2pdfopt/ Not sure where to put it in the article.Not sure if it was suggested before.

Scaling pdf

I think it would be nice to discuss scaling pdf. I found a couple answers but found no supporting documentation in terms of how the posters found these answers.

Create a PDF from images

The man page of ImageMagick states "convert: Available for Backward compatiblity with ImageMagick's version 6 convert(1). Essentially, it is just an alias to a restrictive form of the magick(1) command, which should be used instead."

I think the wiki should recommend

$ magick input_1.jpg input_2.jpg Input_3.jpg out.pdf

The section PDF, PS and DjVu#Create a PDF from images uses gm convert, not convert. -- Lahwaacz (talk) 07:59, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
