Image2PDF

A little tool to convert PNG or JP(E)G files to PDF

In the first place its meant to convert scans done with e.g. Scandal or Scanquix
to PDF Documents in certain output formats like A3,A4,A5, Legal,Letter or
Scansize, but can be used to convert other png or jp(e)g files too.

Image2PDF is "EmailWare" ;-) and free to use without any restrictions !!

If you use it and like the idea behind it :

Just send an email to me. :-)
