The importance of PDF format
We always have so many file formats in our computer, we use MS Word to view .doc files, MS Excel to view .xls files, Adobe reader to view PDF files, image viewers to view all kinds of image formats, and browser to view html files. It seems we need to install many programs to view so many kinds of file formats, and we had met a lot of people who wonders how to solve such problems. So can we transfer those files into one uniform and secure format? The answer is definitely yes, we are here to introduce how to convert all kinds of image formats into PDF format.
Generally speaking, we have several ways available to convert images to PDF format. We are here to show 4 mostly used ways to do such jobs.
1. Photoshop
As we all know, the Adobe Photoshop is used for images editing, but this tool also offers a lot of output formats which including the PDF format, we just need to import the wanted images(no matter it is .jpg,.tif,.png or others) into photoshop and click "save as" and choose the PDF format, then the images would appear as PDF format.
2. MS Word 2007 or above
As we all know, the MS Word 2007 or above version has the feature to save word file as PDF format. So with the help of MS Word, we could easily convert images to PDF format.
1. Create a blank Word file.
2. Click "Import"->"Images" and select the wanted pictures to import.
3. Save as PDF format.
Note: If you are using MS Word 2007, you need to install an addon to perform the "save as PDF" feature, the addon is available in Microsoft official website: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7
Advantange: We could import several images at one time and output to be one pdf.
3. Free online service
The free online converting service Zamzar is always my favorite, as it is totally free and we could convert several file formats into PDF format and vice versa, we always love such powerful and cost free tools. And it is really very easy to operate. Here is the stpes as below:
And remember to select the output format to be PDF(or any other format needed).
Desktop Tools
Besides converting word/excel/ppt to PDF format, many desktop PDF converter tools also can convert images to PDF format. For example, the nemo all to pdf could convert serveral formats(including word/excel/ppt/html/txt/images) into PDF format. And with the help of batch conversion feature, we could convert several files at one time which saves us a lot of time.
Anyway, there are also other desktop tools available, but they almost have a same feature: easy to use. We just need to normally "Add files"->"Customize"->"Convert", then the jobs could be finished automatically.
Conclusion:
Each mean has its own advantages and disadvantages. The most important is that you could find the best suitable one.
