To print a card on both sides of a sheet

There is a PPA: for installing see: https://launchpad.net/~garhuy/+archive/u...-lts-lucid at least it is only 4 years old.

A big application and assuming yours is an older computer might not be the best choice.

Do you have ImageMagic installed, again it will be an older version 6.1.5 but if there worth a try.

Along the lines of; Put the 2 image files (say png's) in a empty folder. Open a terminal in that folder. Use the command.

Code:
convert *.png  twopage.pdf

edit: 
That was a struggle. Installed a 'buntu 10.04 VirtualMachine. Not able to install Gimp 2.6  because of missing babl/gegl packages (your 'buntu lucid is just too old) but ImageMagick was already there. So use that as above

Worried about the image size in pixels? Do a reverse check online https://pdftoimage.com/

Ok, I used the convert application and it also generated a pdf with 591x984 100 dpi images!

Using pdftoimage with the pdf produced by jpg2pdf, I end with two .jpg of size 1182 × 1969 and 72dpi. Using it on the pdf produced by convert was the same, although the space occupied by both were slightly different, but the dimensions and dpi were the same.

Their print size is crazy, 16.417 x 27.438 inches!

The print size inside both pdf is 5.9 x 9.840 inches.

The original 3000 pixel images have a print size of 5.907 x 9.844 inches.

I do not have ImageMagic. Shall I go after ImageMagick first?
