Elsethread, John Forkosh suggested Imagemagick's convert. I did try
that, should have mentioned.

$ convert /tmp/statement.jpg /tmp/statement.pdf
convert: not authorized `/tmp/statement.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1028.
$ ls -ld /tmp/statement.pdf
ls: cannot access '/tmp/statement.pdf': No such file or directory
$ convert --version
