Create a PDF from multiple images

[covertsurfer]

I have 10 images I want to convert into a PDF. How do I do it?

I have seen one method which invloves opening a PDF then dragging images to the sidebar and saving it however the PDF file size is huge.

Please help, this seems so simple.

Open all the images in Preview and then print to PDF?

 

[covertsurfer]

That does one PDF per image

Duff-Man says...try pasting all the images into a TextEdit (or Pages, Word, whatever....) document with any formatting or page breaks you want, then use the print to pdf function....oh yeah!

Same as Preview! Massive file size!
Thanks anyway....next suggestion

The only way I know of is laying out a page in Photoshop or TextEdit and when you like the layout, select Print and then PDF.

All of these will likely result in very large file sizes
My experience with print to .pdf always does this

If you want to reduce the size, you will need Acrobat Pro
Or you will need to send the file to someone who has it to reduce it for you

Woof, Woof – Dawg

Duff-Man says....okay, try this then - open the "large file size" pdf in preview and then select "save as" then in the save box select pdf and in the quartz popup box select "reduce file size" - does that make a difference for your specific document...it will in some cases but not necessarily all....oh yeah!

That did work but completely distorted my images but I found some quartz filters made by somone else and put them in a Filters folder which the Save As dialog picks up and that kept the image in a reasonable state and shrunk the 74mb PDF to 4mb.

Thanks

And you can make your own Quartz filters with the ColorSync utility.
