I have a bunch of text files, images and pdf files which I want to convert into a single pdf file. How do I do it?

If you're willing to use a terminal, you can use ImageMagick. Install it with

sudo apt install imagemagick

then you can do:

convert image1.jpg image2.png text.txt PDFfile.pdf outputFileName.pdf

It worked for me, but the problem is it converts the text.txt file into an image, so you can't highlight the text in the resulting pdf.

First, install imagemagick:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Then in the images folder, do something like:

convert *.png out.pdf

Maybe you can do convert * out.pdf.(I didn' t try this one). Otherwise, You can convert other images to png first then do above. For more details see doc of imagemagick convert command.

Imagemagick rasterizes everything. You could simply do:

convert -density 200 input.pdf output.pdf

Of course the recipient might decide to run an OCR program on your file. The density parameter sets the resolution expressed as PPI.
