+%global         srcname  img2pdf
+%global         desc   Python 3 library and command line utility img2pdf for losslessly converting\
+a bunch of image files into a PDF file. That means that the images\
+are either inserted into the PDF as-is or they are recompressed using\
+lossless compression. Thus, img2pdf usually runs faster and may yield\
+smaller PDF files than an ImageMagick convert command.\
+\
+The img2pdf command complements the pdfimages command.
