JPEGs to PDFs

    Hey there, I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out.

    I have some really big JPEGs of newspaper pages (consisting of two or three pages all in the one JPEG, side by side) and I need to put them in a PDF format for an important proposal.

    The JPEG files are in the 10mb range and great for reading actually, but apparently it has to be PDFs...

    So does anyone know the handiest/best way to convert these? I tried a couple of the free online tools, but they either left a watermark and/or the quality of the PDF was crap.

    Appreciate any help!

    There is no point whatsoever in converting a jpg to a pdf.
    They are most likely requesting pdfs because they want print ready artwork (which a jpg isn't) or they want to be able to extract content from the pdf... again they can't copy and paste text from a jpg...

    If you can't source an actual pdf from the original artwork then just send the jpgs as they are.

    Thanks ScumLord, I'll have a look.

    No, they are just work samples they need to read qpd. No need to extract any content or do anything with them other than read them.

    I can send PDFs, but that would mean individual PDFs of page 8 and page 9 for example. They look and read better when together and someone put them together for me... as JPEGs (why not PDFs, cos he doesn't have the Adobe software required I guess).

    You could get OpenOffice, insert 'picture' and export as PDF.

    You can change the settings on the PDF so it's big enough for the whole JPG file. It's just the same as changing the page options when printing something. I've made PDFs a metre long with Bullzip.

    Hi south, if you have the original PDFs I can sort you out tonight or first thing in the morning providing you with an actual Pdf file rather than just a jpg within a PDF. I'll pm you an email address, you can send on (with instructions) if you like.

    Got sorted out this morning thanks to the kindness and expertise of qpd. I really must educate myself in the ways of Adobe. So much software, so little time!
