PNG -> PDF software recommendations?

I have a directory full of A4-sized PNGs. Is there a piece of software that will convert them to a single PDF file containing all of the PNGs as separate A4 pages? (A4 paper is roughly the same size as US Letter paper, if anyone's interested)

 

Needs to be available for Linux (preferably a command line tool). Bonus points if it's free and open source.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro would create a PDF from those PNG files, but it costs money.

 

Irfanview (freeware for Windows) - https://www.irfanview.com/ - lets you select a bunch of pictures and batch print one picture per page (File > Thumbnails , select pictures , right click, print selected files as single images (batch print)

You also get a dialogue where you can tweak stuff so that each picture goes on one page that you specify the format, and choose to auto resize images or not, add headers or footers or not
The dialogue looks like this ... you can choose a PDF printer (my default is adobe acrobat pro's pdf printer, but there's freeware pdf printers, like pdf24.org , microsoft print to pdf etc)
