I use a program called 'Image2PDF', search for it with Google.

You can, actually. The question is "Why bother?"

Sure you can. You can convert anything to a .pdf. Well, not the pet dog, of
course, but it's it's a file on a computer, it can be done. ;-)

Yes, but depending on what you are doing with those documents, you may have
other alternatives.

I use PDFCreator, a free file from Open Office to convert any file into a .pdf.

Good Luck!

This question really has nothing to do with Office applications.

However, if you're using Office 2007, you can use the new Save as PDF
option. First download and install the PDF utility from microsoft.com. Then
insert the JPGs into a Word document or a PowerPoint file -- or even into an
Excel file if you want.

Then Save as PDF.

That is correct Echo. It can be done like that. But taking a jpeg image file and converting the jpeg to an actual PDF file does not go. You need to insert the image to a text file like Word or Power Point and then saving that Word or PP as PDF will work. But not the image itself.

Whatever. If the user's goal is to get from JPG to PDF, then it's one way to
do it. I don't particularly care that the user didn't phrase his question
quite correctly. Besides, they should also be able to open the JPG in an
image editor and then print to the PDF driver. That would also qualify as
"converting" in my book.
