gif to ps (or pdf) - any ideas?

[Josef Karthauser]

I was hoping that someone on this list might be able to help me out
producing some documentation.

I've got a number of gifs, which are A4 pages scanned in high
resolution.  What I'd like to do is to compile them together as a PDF.
Naively I initially tried using:

    for i in page*; do gif2ps $i >> out.ps; done; ps2pdf out.ps

and it works to a fashion, but gif2ps doesn't appear to produce colour
postscript, and also it leaves a huge margin around the page which I'd
like to reduce.  The other thing I'd like to do is to add a text message
to the bottom of each page describing where the original came from.

Does anyone know of anything more sophisticated than gif2ps for the job?
