png2pdf - Convert PNG images to PDF

Overview

This program became outdated, please use bmeps instead

Note: bmeps version 2.0.0 can also produce PDFs from PNG/JPEG/NetPBM and some TIFF files.
The command line

bmeps input.png output.pdf

produces the same output as

png2pdf -p1.4 -n -a input.png output.pdf

but is easier to keep in mind.
Png2pdf was programmed in ``good old style'' -- users have to write a command line option for each feature they want to activate. In bmeps all useful features (useful in my opinion) are activated in the default configurations. Command line options -- except -l... -- are not necessary in most cases.

Purpose of the program

The png2pdf program converts PNG images to PDF. If the PNG file contains an alpha channel, this can be used to:

Current version: 1.0.13

create an appropriate alpha channel in the PDF file or
mix against a user specified background.

The program is mainly intended for use with pdfLaTeX but may be used for other purposes too.
