I use imagemagick all the time. Sign the various spots in a document, then scan
each page to JPEG format (better than PNG for emailing), save each one with an
ordinal name, then:

    $ convert *.jpeg official-document.pdf

Easy peasy!

We also used imagemagick (and libreoffice) to convert a variety of documents to
PDF for a project at work (years ago). This was on Windows.

It's also an easy way to take a screen shot (root window or a specific window):

   $ import screenshot.png

More options than you can shake a stick at.
