esides Hans methode (texexec --pdf --fig=c yourfile.jpg) I want to remark that PDFTeX is able to include JPEG and PNG graphics directly thus you do not need to convert them. Actually, Hans methode does the conversion from JPEG to PDF simply by including the JPEG in TeX. (Old versions of PDFTeX also supported TIFF, but there are legions of TIFF subformats of which only a fraction was supported. Consequently, TIFF had been dropped.)
fyi: inclusion of pdf is faster, so if you process the document often, it makes sense to convert png to pdf Hans
