How can I create a PDF from scanned images I have in my folder? [closed]

Question

I want something simple.

I have a folder with 10 images and I would like to grab all of them, place each in a single "page" and into a single pdf file.

Is there a simple GUI-based software for this? Using Windows 7 x64.

Answer 1

If you have Office 2010, you can create a word document, drag-drop each picture to a separate page, and save as a PDF.

If you don't, have 2010 (I can't recall if 2007 has pdf creation ability), you can install PDF Creator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/) and do the same thing, just "printing" to the new PDF printer.

UPDATE:

Found info on 2007. In Office 2007 there's a downloadable add-in from MS that allows creating PDFs: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7

Answer 2

CutePDF Writer creates a virtual printer that will save your "print" to PDF. This works with any application that has a print function, you just specify the CutePDF Printer as your virtual printer and print.

Answer 3

Under a bash or a cmd shell (works with both CMD and bash, awesome!), with ImageMagick and pdftk:

mkdir pdf_pages
mogrify -format pdf -output-directory pdf_pages *.jpg
cd pdf_pages
pdftk *.pdf cat output ASSEMBLY.PDF

Addition: In fact, it is much more simple with ImageMagick alone:

convert *.jpg assembly.pdf

is all you need. Note: mogrify is meant to change image content, whereas convert puts unaltered contents into different file formats.
