For example, we have a catalog with three images: 1.png, 2.jpg, 3.png Executing the command:

algel.imageToPdf -f 1.png -f 2.jpg -f 3.png

will create a generated.pdf file with three pages that contain the listed images

It can also be simplified:

algel.imageToPdf -f 1.png 2.jpg 3.png

Optionally a watermark can be set:

algel.imageToPdf -f 1.png 2.jpg 3.png -w "my watermark"

It is also possible to preview the created document without saving it to a drive:

algel.imageToPdf -f 1.png 2.jpg 3.png -w "my watermark" --preview

But for this to work, you must first install the QuestPDF Previewer tool

dotnet tool install QuestPDF.Previewer --global
