Convert JPG to PDF?

Hey how does one convert JPG's to PDF's?

I tried using photoshop CS5 to do it, but I only had the option to convert to photoshop PDF? I successfully changed all the files to photoshop PDF's, but this morning when I opened the folder, they had all mysteriously reverted to JPG?

I'm assuming if I opened these files in photoshop they would all open as photoshop PDF's.

I'm running a Mac with OSX lion btw.

Thanks in advance!

I use a program called CutePDF. It will convert anything you can print to a PDF File. Here is the link: www.cutepdf.com. It is FREE !!

We have it on the computers on campus. Basically you hit "Print" and then instead of printing it creates a pdf file of whatever you just were trying to print.

Yep, I've googled it many times. Found lots of sites that convert jpg's to pdf's one file at a time, if you relinquish your email to them.

The thing is, google doesn't provide you with user feedback and experience, which is what I'm specifically looking for.

I posted this thread with the assumption that there would possibly be lots of graphic/IT types on this site who have experience with this sort of thing.

I will give cutepdf a try.

Ah mk, that makes sense. But yea cutePDF is by far the easiest way to create pdfs. Especially if you have to do them in bulk.

It appears that cutepdf doesn't support mac OSX. Unless my eyes are deceiving me.

Being that I have the full Adobe Master Suite, it comes with Acrobat so I just use that. Barring that, free software like mentioned above will do the trick too.

Edit: Just noticed this was a Mac. I have one of those too but it's a laptop I use for iPhone/iPad programming so I don't deal much with PDFs on it.

I did find this, though...maybe this will help? Looks free, but I'm not 100% on that since I didn't try to download and run it.

Ok, so I figured it out.

I opened all the JPG's at one time and then hit "print"

Once the print screen opened, there is an option in the lower left corner of the screen to save all the JPG's as PDF's.
