I opened a bug report on GIMP’s bug tracker. Let’s hope it gets fixed soon.

Installed GhostScript first from link inside GraphicsMagick setup.

However, GIMP returned a warning on export saying that the mng save executable had crashed.

“Plug-in crashed: “file-mng.exe”
(C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\file-mng.exe)
The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP’s internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.”
and
“Saving ‘C:\Users\Oriana\Documents\ChemExam2.mng’ failed:
Procedure ‘file-mng-save’ returned no return values”

A file was generated, so I used GraphicsMagick on that, but it returned “Invalid Parameter – document.pdf”. Replacing document with the name of my document, of course. I was expecting that since the .mng was 0 bytes. >.< why does windows hang on to 0 byte files??

Anyway, if you have any advice I'd welcome it, but I thought I'd post just fyi and for anybody who visits looking for windoze stuff.

After having recompiled GCC to support GCJ, and then having built pdftk, I gave it a try:

convert page1.png page1.pdf
convert page2.png page2.pdf
pdftk page1.pdf page2.pdf cat output document.pdf

which could be generalised to

for page in page*.pdf; do convert ${page} ${page%???}png; done && pdftk page*.pdf cat output document.pdf

BTW, I don't agree, that my proposed solution is necessarily more complicated than your proposal - it's probably a matter of taste which tools to use, and what exactly you are doing. For example I usually have the scanned images open in GIMP anyway, because I use it to optimise the colour curves. Then again, this could also be done with `convert`.
