Re: How to create a PDF from multiple JPEGs?
To get pdf file size down to forum limits, when scanning items that do not contain continuous tone images, I select the "text/line art"option on my scanner menu. To adjust the size of continuous tone images I use the Microsoft photoed program that came with my windows 98 pc but runs happily on XP. File size can be adjusted in 1% increments. Futher adjustment in novapdf is possible via the dpi resolution setting.

Then I PDF'd them with Image To PDF or XPS and after a couple of goes got a perfect PDF document. I was so pleased, I made a donation to the developer! Hope to meet up soon, or I could email you a smaller PDF of just one of the schematics from that manual.

I hope "Saturday" is simply a typo, as you may have a long time to wait for the doors to open if you turn up then, the swapmeet being on Sunday!

Re: How to create a PDF from multiple JPEGs?
I've been scanning and pdeffing like a both for radio-related documents and music scores, and recently have been noticing something I couldn't explain: the filesize of the PDF is typically 15× the sum of the image files when I scan as TIFs. This doesn't matter if all I want to do is print off a set of copies, but it is irritating for archiving and emailing, and made it impossible to attach PDFs to my posts here where you need a PDF because the size of a legible document image exceeds the limit for images
I was wondering how to word a post here asking for advice, when I remembered that you can ask the developer about any problems. Quick as a flash he asked me to send some examples. I scan as grayscale images but the converter interprets them as color images, so quick as a flash he updated the program to deal with this, and now the resulting PDF is slightly smaller than the combined original files Image To PDF or XPS What a star! so I made another donation
