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. :-)

  picture file
- its now checked if the PDF file to be saved ends with ".pdf"
- improved error message in case of invalid loaded picture/file

  be used)

- added the possibility to add more images to a PDF document. (one to a page)
  The output format of all pages is chosen after giving the first image
- added a counter to the PDF filenames if the docs have more than one page
  (doc_1.pdf , doc_2.pdf .... etc. , can be edited)
- the name of the image is now taken as the name of the PDF document if
  the document has only one page, can be edited
- Polybios plugin is now linked to the binarys so that it is not needed
  anymore to install it seperately

- added tooltype to set default source and/or save drawer. If it is not set
  there "ram:" is chosen as default. To set other drawers just remove the
  parentheses and change the default "ram:" entry to the path you want.
