How do you change a JPEG into a PDF?

I want to skan a book, page by page. Edit it using the ';Paint program'; and then change it into a PDF file so I can make an Ebook out of it. Can anyone help me do this?How do you change a JPEG into a PDF?
buy Adobe Standard 7 -- it installs like a print driver so you can print the jpeg to the distiller and it will output a pdf that you save and then can upload to anythingHow do you change a JPEG into a PDF?
If you have the full Adobe Acrobat, it's easy. If you don't you need some kind of program that writes PDF files. The easiest might be OpenOffice which can generate a PDF file. You can insert the JPGs into a document as graphics and then export it as a PDF.



If you don't have OpenOffice, the link is below. It's open source and free.
You need special software like Adobe Acrobat (distiller) or PDF Maker. Most of these pdf conversion softwares cannot be found for free (unless it is pirated)
Maybe you should read up a little on copyright law?



But hypothetically, you could just scan the images, do your editing, and print them using ';CutePDF';, a freeware utility that adds a 'virtual' printer to your PC that outputs PDF files instead of paper.



You can get the freeware version at:

You need to buy the ';PDF Distiller'; from Adobe officially. Their program is about $250.

There are a few ';free'; distillers on the 'net with varying capabilities -- I put one link below. If you google or yahoo search ';pdf distiller'; you'll find some more.
One option would be to download and install OpenOffice ( http://www.openoffice.org ), place each image into a slide in OO's presentation software, then Save As or Export to pdf.
