Converting Images to PDF
Currently, PDF is one of the most popular formats for electronic document transfer. And we are not referring exclusively to text documents. Documents may contain presentation materials, price lists, business quotes, etc., which are difficult to visualize without illustrations which make such materials more graphic and attractive. This gives rise to the task of converting images to PDF.
This task is addressed by an image-to-PDF converter. We offer our Universal Document Converter for the purpose. This is the most complete solution for creating professional PDF documents from almost any source file, including image files. The Universal Document Converter is based on the virtual printer technology. Therefore, to convert an image to PDF, an image in any format needs to be “printed” to a special virtual printer.
How to Convert an Image to PDF
1. Download and install Universal Document Converter software onto your computer.
2. Open the image in any graphics editor or viewer equipped with printing functionality.
3. Open the Print dialog. Noromally, this is accomplished by opening the File menu and selecting the Print option.
4. Select Universal Document Converter from the list of available printers and click Properties.
5. Select the Load Settings tab in the resulting window, select the Drawing to PDF profile in the standard Windows dialog, and click Open.
6. Click OK in the Universal Document Converter program window and then OK in the Windows print dialog.
7. Use the displayed dialog to select a folder in which to save the file resulting from the image-to-PDF conversion. The default location is "My Documents\UDC Output Files".
8. Wait for the conversion process to complete. Once the conversion is complete, the resulting file will be opened in Adobe Acrobat or any other software associated with the PDF format on your system.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q2: I need to add an illustration to an existing multi-page PDF document. How do I do that?
A2: After the Drawing to PDF profile is loaded, open the File Format tab and select Append all pages to exiting document from the Structure list. Then, start the conversion and select the document you need as the output file.
Q3: I need to convert a multi-page TIFF file to create a separate PDF file for every one of its pages. Is that possible?

Afterwards, go to the Files and Folders tab, check the Use values below checkbox and use the Page macro in the output file name template. This way, you will not have to specify a filename for each page manually as you convert images to PDF.
Q4: I need to convert an image to PDF from my own software written in VB.NET. How do I do that?
A4: To simplify using the Universal Document Converter in proprietary software, we have created extensive developer help which provides source code examples in multiple programming languages.
