About the JPG to PDF
Combining images into a single PDF is how a set of photographs becomes a document. Photographed receipts for an expense claim, pages of a form captured with a phone, scanned certificates for an application — all of them want to arrive as one file rather than eleven attachments.
This takes images and assembles them into a PDF, one image per page, in the order you arrange them.
Page size and orientation are worth setting deliberately. Fitting each image to its own page preserves proportions exactly and gives a document with pages of different sizes, which is fine on screen and awkward to print. Fitting everything to A4 gives a uniform document that prints properly, with white space around images whose shape does not match. For anything that will be printed or filed, uniform pages are the better choice.
Orientation should follow the images. A landscape photograph on a portrait page wastes half the sheet and renders the content small; rotating the page to match is a single setting that makes the difference between a readable document and a squinting exercise.
Resolution is inherited from the images. A phone photograph is more than enough for any document, and it is also large — a twelve-page PDF assembled from phone photographs can easily exceed twenty megabytes. Compress the result if it needs to be emailed, or resize the images first.
The text in a photographed document is not text, it is pixels, so the resulting PDF is not searchable. That is inherent to photographing a page rather than a limitation here, and OCR is the only route to searchable text from a photograph.
How to use it
- 1Drop in the images and drag them into the order the document should read in.
- 2Choose a uniform page size if the document will be printed, or fit-to-image if it is for screen only.
- 3Set the orientation to match the images rather than leaving landscape photographs on portrait pages.
- 4Compress the result if it needs to go by email, since phone photographs make large PDFs.
Questions
- Which page size should I choose?
- A4 or Letter for anything that will be printed or filed, which gives uniform pages. Fit-to-image preserves proportions exactly and produces a document with differently sized pages, which is fine on screen and awkward on a printer.
- Why is my PDF so large?
- Because phone photographs are large and there are several of them. Resize the images before assembling, or run the finished PDF through the compression tool.
- Will the text in my photographs be searchable?
- No. A photograph of a page contains pixels rather than text, so the PDF is not searchable. Only OCR can produce searchable text from an image, and that is a separate operation.
- Are my images uploaded?
- No. They are read in this tab and the PDF is assembled there, which matters given how often the images being combined are receipts, forms and identity documents.
