Freeware To Convert JPEG Images To Pdf Files

[Dr. Strange]

Hello Group.

I have just downloaded Marvel's Secret Wars II and found much to my dismay
that my download consists of over 300 jpegs, each one being a scanned page
of the comic. Does anyone know of a freeware program that will allow me to
combine all the images and convert them into one PDF file so that I can then
use Acrobat Reader to view them.

TIA.

Regards.

Doc,

I've been doing this for the last several weeks myself. (I'm a fan of
the Dell comics of the late sixties, as weel as the Dell and DC war
comics of the seventies.)

The best method I've found, clunky though it may be, is to import the
JPEGs into a MSWord file, then use the freeware PDF printer, CutePDF,
to print the Word file into a PDF.

The link to CutePDF is http://www.acrosoftware.com/

There's also a free utility for viewing multiple JPEGs that's almost
exclusive to the e-comics arena. It's called CDisplay. It can display
an entire directory of multiple JPEGs one at a time (ie
page-by-page). I just recently found this util, and it works better
than a PDF for reading, IMHO. It can be found at:

Hope this helps.

How 'bout IrfanView? http://www.irfanview.com/

You can create a multipage TIFF from whatever format your originals are
in. [View | Multipage images | Create Multipage TIF] Then load the TIFF
in IrfanView and print to a PDF printer utility. My current favorite is
PDFCreator at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ .
