Quote:... decided to use a different source image, one with 1772x2953 pixels and 300dpi. However, when I send then to jpg2pdf, it modifies them, generating a pdf with final images with 591x984 pixels and 100dpi...
Making a new document 1772x2953 @ 300 ppi gives a print (page) size of 150 x 250 mm and you need a PDF comprising two pages that size. Is that correct?
I can see how the online conversion produces problems, planting the image on A4 page size and scaling to suit. Although a reverse check, pdf -> jpeg using say, https://pdftoimage.com/ does not get anything as small as 591x948 pix (I got 1654x2339 pix) but with borders & still not the required size.
Since you are using Gimp 2.6 & assuming without PDF support (no ghostscript) you ask for another way. Asked this before but what OS are you using? Windows / OSX / linux ?
As earlier post, the tool to make a PDF for publishing is Scribus https://www.scribus.net/
An easier alternative might be LibreOffice, https://www.libreoffice.org/ Set up two pages, 15cm x 25 cm, no borders, import the images, export to PDF, looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/srcCBi0.jpg All depends how ancient your OS is
