I think you missed the bit where the scanning is already complete, with 
file types as mentioned above. I don't have a scanner, and the scanner 
is really an office machine that emails me separate tiff/jpg/png images 
when it decides what the best type will be, eg photo>jpeg, color text, 
line drwaings>png, b/w text>tiff (2 color, fax like).

I don't get the choice of the file types.

Seems like the only way is to use other tools to convert into another 
format first, and then output that to pdf, then combine those into a 
single pdf. That's just a little bit painful (No success after many 
hours of different attempts, and boring to boot).

I'll take a look. Also, thanks to all the responders, for some tips, 
which so far seem to be summarized as "no such gui tool".

Thanks all,
