how many?

with adobe pro you can just right click on a bunch of files and hit convert to PDF

7/10/2009 9:21:53 PM

dude all you need is 3 lines of php

7/10/2009 11:10:46 PM

^yep. well 5 or 6... but still.

7/11/2009 5:25:14 AM

Why can't you just use a program (like photoshop) that does batch processing, and have it print to PDF? I would assume it has options to include printing in the script.

7/11/2009 12:52:38 PM

or do what i said which is basically the same thing except adobe has put the script in a nice little menu that shows up when you right click on shit

7/11/2009 1:07:11 PM

Photoshop certainly does to batch processing...

The best part about tech talk is how when somebody asks a question, the people who know the answer don't tell you what it is and the people who don't make fun of the question.

7/11/2009 3:49:48 PM

except that we've answered his question like 3 different ways

7/11/2009 4:43:43 PM

No you haven't. Photoshop isn't free, adobe pro isn't free, and saying it's possible with PHP but not explaining how is just coming in here to say LOL LOOK HOW LEET I AM.

7/11/2009 4:58:39 PM

Why in the world do you want or need to do this in the first place?

7/11/2009 6:27:09 PM

Irfanview does this very easily and it is very free.

yep, that was the point of my post

IrfanView kinda works....it will convert like 20% of the .gif's to .pdf, but errors on the other ones. There is nothing different about these files (other than content), and were copied using the same algor.

Here is an example:

Converting image: C:\Users\[userName]\Desktop\102.gif
Error! Can't save: C:\Users\[userName]\Desktop\102.pdf
Converting image: C:\Users\[userName]\Desktop\103.gif
... Ok - C:\Users\[userName]\Desktop\103.pdf

what gives?

7/14/2009 4:09:16 PM

You never did explain why you need to do this thing. There might be an even better solution.

7/14/2009 4:18:55 PM

^^ No idea. If you can send me the files and can try the conversion on my end. FTP would work.

Also, I meant to ask this earlier: Why PDF?

PDF is a container and not an independent image format.

I have a series of .gif's that I would like to combine together to form a comic. I want all of them in one large file which is easy to use/read. PDF seems to fit pretty well for this instance.

^PM me your email addy, the zip file with all gif's is only 4MB.

Thx!

7/15/2009 3:06:17 PM

Honestly, I like "larger gif" as a format better than pdf but that's just me.

Edit: Unless by comic, you mean multiple pages. Then it's a toss-up between html and pdf.

I replicated the Irfanview conversion issues. I have no idea as to the cause. Anyway, it took about 10 seconds to do the conversion using Acrobat.
