PS
just now I encountered an other insane Linux thing:
To make pdf files from JPG pictures you used to be able to write
convert *.JPG outfile2.pdf
that uses \'convert\', part of the Imagemagic program.
Was I surprised it refused with a security message on my latest Raspberry when root.
So web search showed you need to modify
/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml
and change \'none\' to \'read|write\" to enable pdf output in this line:
<policy domain=\"coder\" rights=\"read|write\" pattern=\"PDF\" />
Of course making a pdf is extremely dangerous?
What a bunch of idiots have had a go at Linux distros.
The real security issues they do not even see, have no clue about.
That is likely why half the world is hacked now , including the brains of US leaders and many software developers...
Next thing you need a password for you windshield wipers? Or is that already ?
Of course \'convert\' is not the best way to make pdfs, but lots of Chinese stuff comes with manuals the size of a postage stamp
in Chinglish .. so I take JPG pictures of the pages (six in this case) with a real camera (Canon) and make a pdf manual I keep around
and can display any size I want to make it readable.
VERY dangerous, making a pdf..
Now wait for your peeseebee layout program to refuse to make one...
And all the waisted time to find out how to fix the crap.
