BullSHIT. You have to get the gif-to-pdf converter and install it,
In my experience, it's already there.
In mine, too, btw.
Feep, feep!
If this is an allegation that something suffers from "feeping
creaturism": You do realize that the gif-to-pdf converter in
question is the command "convert", which apparently is usually
included in Linux distributions? It does seem to have a lot
of features, if one can go by the first paragraph of its man
page:
convert - convert between image formats as well as resize an image,
blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much
more.
but -- I dunno, it sounds kind of useful to me.
For completeness' sake...
The command 'convert', along with a collection of others for
manipulating images, including 'display' for displaying them, is
provided by the ImageMagick package; the choice to include it is up to
any given distribution (most of them do, these days, because it's
really useful). It's capable of converting between a very wide range
of image-like formats, including PDF.
