thanks for sharing, I am so happy to see a new software to appear. As a Mac user, I always use pdf converter mac to convert pdf files to other format.but I haven't software to convert to pdf ,with this jpg to pdf converter , I can convet jpg to pdf easily.

Windows 7 64 bit. Installed without a hitch.

Superb conversion of some test jpgs. You are missing a lot if you don't get this program.

I'd pay for this after using it. But, it's today it's free. Does anyone get that. It's Giveaway of the Day. Any part of that you don't understand.

Make some worthwhile comments instead of bringing up the price which has no bearing on this offer. GOTD Thanks for this and thanks to the developers.

#13 Reg
To change the compression rate use the blue push-pull lever just above the "convert to PDF now" bottom.

Note sure but I think Windows 7 does this for you by default.

Select all the images and print them. Sure they will be in xps format but that can be easily converted into pdf.

Besides, isent converting images into pdf 1-way? So ones they are converted, you cannot get the original back. SO why not just zip/rar the images. if you want to e-mail them.

Its an interesting piece of softwares but I am not sure if it is worth $50. If there was a way to convert back the images that are in the pdf file back into images, it would be interesting. I know the images will not be the same original quality, but having the option of extracting the images back just in case the originals were lost would be helpful

#16: Thanks for the open office suggestion! This worked like a charm and I was able to convert three .jpg to .pdf and combine into a three page document at the same time. Awesome.

To #23. I did one at a time to pdf. I would have to tinker with it do multiple but use the "save as" feature to convert to pdf.

JPG To PDF Converter is a small [~6.1MB] Visual Basic front end or GUI for some generally older freeware libraries. That in itself is not necessarily bad -- the only sin I saw was that install includes an older version of a VB runtime file ["MSCOMCTL.OCX"] in the program's folder, & registers it there -- not only are any other VB programs forced to downgrade, but removing that folder [i.e. un-install] breaks every app that uses that Microsoft file.

There are several ways to get around this misbehavior *If* you have other VB software, & assuming you want to try/use the app... basically you want "MSCOMCTL.OCX" in the Windows 32 bit system folder & registered there [i.e. System32 for 32 bit & SysWOW64 for 64 bit Windows]. If it's already there & registered that way, you can restore a registry backup. Or you can re-install the VB6 runtime -- a small download from Microsoft's Download Center. Or you can use whatever utilities --> I have a copy of an almost ancient app called Regdrop on my desktop, so re-registering something like the copy of MSCOMCTL.OCX in System32 [XP Pro 32] is a quick drag/drop, & of course you can re-register the file manually from the command line. Aside from needing the VB6 runtime, today's GOTD is portable, so it can be setup in a virtual machine, & the program's folder copied to your regular install.

Whether it's worth bothering with is very much up to you. There are better alternatives, but PDF Converter is here, now. There are better alternatives IMHO to sticking a bunch of images in a PDF, but that's me.

I agree with #20. Irfanview does so much it's hard to remember all its features. One look at the SAVE AS feature will convince anyone to look at the SAVE AS features of this freebie again. I know this comment will be voted "not Useful" by most people. But, I'm just trying to help.

@ magiccrpet #20. Could you please point me in the right direction as to how to do multiple images into PDF? Could not find "PDF" anywhere in the INFARVIEW program. Thanks

Agree with #18. It can convert multiple images to a single pdf, but it is a memory hogger.
I use adobe photoshop album 2SE (old free version) which does this job easily with a very high compression, without quality loss

Irfanview does the same thing for free. You can password protect file also.

Spencer and Urban - but PDF Fill requires a 10 meg download of Ghostcript...

Many of these comments fail to make the distinction between converting many jpegs to one pdf file - which seems to be the basic attraction of this program - versus converting a single jpeg to a single pdf file - which many programs, e.g. faststone, can do.

@spencer T.
I have now compared PG To PDF Converter to the program you recommended: PDFill PDF Tools. I must agree - PDfill is faster and has more features. The only disavantage I found is that it is difficult to see the full file name when adding files to build a PDF. Otherwise very good indeed.

Nice GOTD extension for the Chrome browser here:

Giveaway of the Day Extension

Didn't check out this program, but Open Office Draw will also convert images to PDF.

Great timing :) I was just going to scan in some books later today. Thanks GOTD!

@ martin, #9:
Faststone might be very good I don't know, but en answer to your question "why would you need another app?" has a very simple answer to it. I didn't have any app. yet doing this.

Now I have todays giveaway and that does the trick very much for me.

So, now I have a question for you: Why would I need another app. (like Faststone viewer)?

another tip for Foxonic Express Free when creating PDF from images:

If u want to create PDF from images that located in different folders,
try this way:

(1) drag drop as many images as u want from "Windows File Explorer" or the build-in "File Browser Window" of Foxonic Express to "Drag&Drop File List Window" of Foxonic Express.

(2) click “settings” -> “General” -> set building mode to “All to One” and set destination PDF file name, location.

(3) Select all the images u want to convert to PDF and right click the selected source image files, click “Build selected files to PDF”, then all the images u selected will be converted to 1 PDF file automatically.

Downloaded and registered no problem on Vista. Leaving it on default setting of 60% it quickly convered a 40 picture file to Pdf with very good quality. A good programme and recommended, even though I could find no way to change the 60% to anything else. Maybe that's my fault - can anyone enlighten me?

FastStone Viewer has this option and with many more features - why would you need another app. ?

Does this thing by any chance also support PDF to JPG conversion? The one offered here a couple of weeks ago just stopped working after the first time I used it.

Installed without problems, seems to work as promised. The developer has made a mistake in the interface - not too serious ;) though:
The pop up menus say "add a PDF file" and "add PDF files from a folder" It ought to be "add a JPG file" and "add JPG files from a folder" ofcourse. I have not tried the free competetors but the $29.95 is too much for a rather limited program.

I have used this fantastic products for years, and have not bothered with buying a version of Acrobat since V.7:

PDFill PDF Tools are FREE. Included are Merge, Split, Reorder, Encrypt, Decrypt, Rotate, Crop, Reformat, Header, Footer, Watermark, Images to PDF, PDF to Images, Form Fields Delete/Flatten/List, PostScript to PDF, PDF Information, Scan to PDF, and Create Transparent Image options.

I am using Simpo PDF Creator Lite, it's a free PDF creator to create PDF from JPG, GIF, BMP and some other printable file formats, like Microsoft Office.

I have used a lot of free image to PDF programs from doPDF to the one that came with my Dell Printer/scanner/copier and none of them would put them into a PDF by numerical order. I would have to ask friends who had Adobe Pro to do it for me. This did it in a snap!

The downside, Threatfire kept alerting me during installation and registration that the program was trying to set itself to launch at start-up. I had to allow it to install, register and use the program. I will just disable that using msconfig.

Keep in mind I just made one quick PDF but the only other downside I noticed was there was no way to minimized the program.

I like the program and give it a thumbs up.

Hi all @GAOTD.

I have been using for the last 3 years,JPEGTOPDF freeware Ver 1.0 http://jpegtopdf.com which also enables Batch conversion, Image Positioning, Image stretching and Command Line capability and is extremely kind on system resources.

Results are not much different BUT todays app also offers compression which is not very effective in what I had previuosly.

Thanks GAOTD.

I found this a quite useful application, especially when sending images attached to an eMail, where I could reduce the size of the image without too much loss of quality from the original. For example, I converted an image from 108Kb to 55.1Kb with a Compression Quality setting of 75% - which seemed to be about right after some experimentation. Personally I found that anything less than 70% (ish) Compression Quality made the resultant image less than attractive!

Maintaining a Compression Quality setting at 100% basically means that the image is exactly the same 'weight' as the original, but now in pdf format, not much point in doing that really!

If you look again at a 150% the resultant image quality is awful, but then again, what do you expect? So to summarise, I found the best results from 70-75% compression and make sure you review the resultant output with Adobe Reader/Foxit set at 100%. A keeper for me, thanks again GOTD!

If I read the list of key features I'm totally under the impression, the software aims at computer newbies/dummies. It's so unprecise and vague, it's the typical marketing blah...
