There is no point in making a pdf out of a jpg; pdf is intended
for combining pics and text in an ebook. It does not have
a tighter algorithm, jpgs are nearly uncompressable, unless
you open them and recompress them with the jpg algorithm
to a tighter (and less quality) file. If you want to preserve
100% quality you may use .png, for somewhat bigger files.
