	Jul 30 2008	JOSHR Fyi, Mac OS X Preview works for converting multiple images into a single PDF very easily. 1. Drag folder of images onto Preview application 2. Drag thumbnails in sidebar to order 3. Command-A to select all 4. Command-P to print -> save to PDF Save your $40 (Version 1.0.1)		0

	Jul 29 2008	MARK EVERITT If you're prepared to spend a little time learning a couple of terminal commands then Imagemagick is capable of doing stuff like this for free, and it's a cross platform standard. If you have a particular set of commands you always use then you can wrap your terminal commands into a bash script, apple script or even with automator. Alternatively SIPS comes with osx, and although I've never used it I've been told that it provides similar functionality to Imagemagick. Granted this isn't for everyone, but I highly recommend trying it out. Imagemagick is available from MacUpdate and it's very easy to get started. (Version 1.0.1)		0

MARK EVERITT A simple one to get you started. If you have a bunch of png image files in a folder you want to convert to pdf then open a terminal, cd to the directory and type the following:

mogrify -format pdf *.png

You will need to install imagemagick first. The equivalent in SIPS is something like:

mkdir outputdir

sips -s format pdf *.png --out outputdir

And everything to do that is already installed as standard!

JOSHR Actually, "Save As..." in Preview does work for converting multiple images into a single PDF very easily.

1. Select image files in Finder

2. Double-click to open in a single Preview window

3. Drag thumbnails in sidebar to order

4. Command-A to select all

5. Command-P to print -> save to PDF

Voila! No embarassment, no hassle, no $40. No offense to the developer, of course.
