[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX: First page blank

page-breaking

I just installed LaTeX with TeXworks today. I need to create a simple PDF out of a couple large images, I realize this is likely very crude and roundabout but I somehow managed to get the thing done. However, LaTeX inserts a blank page before the stuff I want, and I can't find a way to get rid of it. I thought it may simply be the title page and tried adding notitlepage in documentclass, but that's not it. Here's the whole thing:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{0pt}
\setlength{\headsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\voffset}{-20pt}
\addtolength{\hoffset}{-22pt}
\setlength{\textheight}{25.8cm}
\graphicspath{{A:/Desktop/pdf/1/}}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\begin{document}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg1}
\newpage
\includegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg2}
\newpage
\includegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg3}
\newpage
\includegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg4}
\newpage
\includegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg5}
\end{document}

Thanks in advance!

Even a tiny difference in the computed dimensions may produce an overfull box. So I suggest another approach: zero margin and vertical centering.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=0pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\newcommand{\vcenterincludegraphics}[2][]{%
  \newpage
  \vspace*{\fill}
  \includegraphics[#1]{#2}\par
  \vspace{\fill}
  \newpage
}
\pagestyle{empty}


\begin{document}

\centering

\vcenterincludegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg1}

\vcenterincludegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg2}

\vcenterincludegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg3}

\vcenterincludegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg4}

\vcenterincludegraphics[width=17.7cm]{pg5}

\end{document}
