For a long time I used to losslessly convert muliple PNGs to a single PDF using the following template:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage[margin=0pt]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\enlargethispage*{0cm}
%
%
\centering{
\includegraphics[width=.99\paperwidth,totalheight=.99\paperheight,keepaspectratio]{img1.png}
\clearpage
\includegraphics[width=.99\paperwidth,totalheight=.99\paperheight,keepaspectratio]{img2.png}
\clearpage
}
\end{document}

Lately, I've been getting (on Ubuntu 12.04)

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.10 ...ht,keepaspectratio]{img1.png}

What's wrong, what's changed? Alternatives?

Update: turns out this only happens with filenames with spaces (so "img 1.pdf", not img1.pdf). How can this be avoided?

I don't see any reason why this should fail. Is this really the document you tried? Can you show the log-file? – Ulrike Fischer Nov 21 '13 at 11:27
Your code compiles with any problems. – Chris Nov 21 '13 at 11:38
Did you add any package by hand, recently? – egreg Nov 21 '13 at 11:39
It turns out that img1.png works, img 1.png (with a space in the name) doesn't. I guess I've never thought about that before simplifying the test case. But why should the blank matter? – dan3 Nov 21 '13 at 11:48
Do your file names contain the extra space? – Chris Nov 21 '13 at 12:15
@Chris, yes, see above :) – dan3 Nov 21 '13 at 12:20

Isn't the grffile package the normal fix to this? But in general, don;t use spaces in file or folder names. – daleif Nov 21 '13 at 13:08

\usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage[space]{grffile} solves the spaces-in-filenames issue. I did not realize this was the problem... – dan3 Nov 21 '13 at 17:59
