\"\"When you need to distribute a particular set of images \u2013 or perhaps reconstruct some scanned pages into a digital version of the original document \u2013 then being able to combine those JPGs into a single PDF can be very useful. There are commercial tools which will handle this for you, but if your needs are simple then there\u2019s no need to spend big money; the free (for personal use)\u00a0JPGasPDF<\/a>\u00a0could provide everything you need.<\/p>\n

The program is compact (a single 572KB executable), with a basic straightforward interface. If you\u2019re in a hurry you could just click the Add button to select your images, the Create button to save the finished PDF, and, well, that\u2019s it — your document will be saved right away.<\/p>\n

JPGasPDF does have one or two tiny extras, though, which help to make the program more interesting. So if your imported images are in the wrong order, for instance, that\u2019s no problem \u2013 you can drag and drop to rearrange them.<\/p>\n

Better still, you can save image lists and reload them later. This means that you could create a basic document template — a collection of images which you\u2019d like to open and close your PDF, say — and then add other JPGs somewhere in between.<\/p>\n

And the program even previews each image as you click on it. The preview pane is ridiculously small, unfortunately — around 80\u00d760 pixels — and so almost entirely useless for text-based pages, but if your images have distinct graphics then there\u2019s a faint chance you might recognize something.<\/p>\n

JPGasPDF has some room for improvement. We\u2019d like to see it able to import images via drag and drop, for instance \u2013 right now you can only do this via the Add button.<\/p>\n

And the program really needs a better way to let you view the contents of an individual image, even if it\u2019s only double-clicking the file to open it in the default JPG handler (this seems the simplest option, as currently there\u2019s no double-click action at all).<\/p>\n

Otherwise, though,\u00a0JPGasPDF<\/a>\u00a0does its work very well, and is also compact, easy to use, with no adware or other marketing hassles at all. If you don\u2019t currently have anything similar then we\u2019d grab a copy immediately.<\/p>\n
