  Description     : Lossless conversion of JPEG, JPEG2000 and other raster graphic formats to PDF

This tool is able to embed JPEG or JPEG2000 files into a PDF container without
re-encoding them. Files of other formats will be stored using the lossless
Flate/zlib encoding. In addition to JPEG and JPEG 2000, all formats supported
by the Python Imaging Library are supported as input.

There seems to be no tool (correct me if I'm wrong) which can embed an
image into a pdf without either loosing information due to JPEG
re-encoding or blowing up the filesize through Flate/zlib encoding. It
would thus be a useful tool to have in Debian.
