combining images into one file

[Jo-Anne]

Using WinXP. Is there any way to combine individual JPG or PDF images into a
single file? I don't have Adobe Acrobat.

Thank you!

Several image-handlers can do this: IrfanView can paste, for example
(create [by resizing a 1x1 image, for example] an image of the appropriate
size, then paste your images into it - there may be an easier way). Paint
Shop Pro, Photoshop, and plenty of others, can probably do it.

If they are images that don't quite line up, one of the applications that
makes panorama images (sometimes provided "free" with cameras) might make
it easier.

I'm assuming you want to stick two (or more) images together as if
stitching together patchwork squares. If you want to have them stay as
separate images but still make a single file, you need to make a
multi-image .gif or (IIRR) .tif file; again, IrfanView can do that. (Not
sure if they have to be the same size.)

Thank you, John! It took me a while, but I finally got IrfanView to combine
the images into a .TIF file as separate pages. I then was able to save the
..TIF file as a .PDF file.

PDFCreator on SourceForge has a Distiller like feature.

You can stop the PDFCreator program and then print multiple objects to the PDFCreator PDF
printer and it holds all those jobs in a queue. You can then merge them and when you
re-start the PDFCreator program, it will create one PDF containg the merged pages of what
ever you printed.

NOTE: PDFCreator actually calls this process "combine" not merge. Sorry for the
confusion that may introduce.

Thank you, David! I'll check into it. So far, though, I'm managing with
IrfanView.

| Hmm. If I'd known you wanted a .pdf file, I'd have suggested making a
| word-processing document with anything that can take images (such as
| Word), and then "printed" to a pseudo-printer .pdf creator, such as
| pdf995.

OpenOffice also saves to PDF, for those who don't
use MS Office -- One free program rather than two
that are not.

And LibreOffice.

However what sets LibrfeOffice and OpenOffice PDF creation apart are two things.
1. You don't save to a PDF you export to a PDF
2. You can create editable PDF Forms.

NOTE: Right now OpenOffice is limbo land as we await the end of incubation by the Apache
Foundation.

Well, doing it through IrfanView was pretty easy once I did the original
combining. I'm keeping both the .TIF and the .PDF files, 'cause I don't know
which I'll need to send someone.
