Image to PDF Command Line Tool 2.52

Image to PDF Command Line Tool 2.52 offers an effective tool which helps you to convert many image formats (JPEG, JPG, TIFF, TIF, PNG, GIF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PCX, TGA) into PDF documents from the command line (or batch file), with parameters and scripts that control its operation.

Image to PDF is NOT an Adobe Acrobat plug-in and it does NOT require Adobe Acrobat in order to run or produce PDF documents.

Image to PDF Command Line Tool is ideal for repetitive and batch oriented tasks including CGI integration. It is run from a DOS command line environment (or batch file) and is controlled through the use of parameters that are passed to it when it is run. These parameters can also be used within command (script) files which are themselves passed as parameters to the utility.
