In practice you can use after you scan a book for example and want to introduce everything in pdf format to make more easy to read or to share in Internet.

One more thing - I just noticed that my first "freeware option" link is identical to today's GOTD offering, and it's 100% free (by the same developer "PDFZilla") - so I'm confused as to why PDFZilla would charge $29.95 for a program that it offers completely free on CNET? PDFZilla folks, please explain this. Thank you.

Response to Comment #1 (Ashraf) It's a popular date format because when you do an alpha-numeric sort, it comes out in chronological order.

Hello,

Ashraf asks: “What is up with the weird “D:20100122002448-06′00″ date format?”

HappyPerson (#9) explains:
“Creation date includes: date and time-stamp of user’s local PC (including hour, minute, and second, and relationship to GMT time”

So, breaking this up gives:
- D = Date (obvious)
- 2010 = year (ibid.)
- 0122 = January 22nd (still OK)
- 002448 = HHMMss-notation, which means 24 minutes and 48 seconds after midnight,or 00:24:48 AM (no problem - NOT 12:24:48 AM, this format does not exist, e.g. it will give an error in Excel...)
- 06’00” = 6 minutes and zero seconds “relationship to GMT time” – THIS PART I DON’T UNDERSTAND…

Do Re (#7) suggests:
“D is Date:2010 01 22 and probably hour of created pdf (right click on pdf>Property.This are metadata informations.”
And continues “It merge more jpg (etc) file in one single pdf, but probably others want posibility to create more pdf files with one image in the same time.You have posibility to change output.”
- The first part I do understand (see above),
- the second part is a bit confusing though I think I know what Do Re means… Do I or don’t I?..
- Because: would 06’00” mean the time it took to merge multiple files then? That would be a lot of files, would it not (or a prehistoric machine)?
- ...or would it simply mean the time difference between opening the JPG-file for conversion and the start (or end) of saving the resulting PDF?

I, for one, am out of ideas on this small puzzle ;-) or :(

Finally, as I have no real use for such a limited tool, I’m not going to download and test it (so the “date”-format may remain a mystery till doomsday come). Comments and reviews lead me to try out some alternatives.

Besides: it’s a bigger problem to turn a PDF-document with pictures and graphics in it into an easily editable Word-file than the other way around (pictures and graphs are dropped or “overlooked” most of the time). Anyone any suggestions on that one?

Thanks & greetz to all.

Patrick.

Something seems to be very odd about this software and its commercial developer.

Go to the developer's home page and you're told that bundled in with the JPG to PDF Converter download, entirely free of charge, is "OpenOffice Suite".

But Open Office is the creation of many hard-working computer enthusiasts in different parts of the world, an example of the Open Source community at its very best (as well as freeware of the highest quality.)

If the "OpenOffice" referred to / being bundled into JPG to PDF Converter is, in fact, the freeware suite from the Open Source community, rather than the creation of those responsible for today's GOTD, then that's about as cynical a rip-off of the work of others I've ever come across.

Hopefully, that's not the case. Hopefully, a representative of the developer will post on here to set the record straight.

However, in view of the developer's home page assertion that JPG to PDF Converter is "rated" the "Number 1 Product Online", I'm not sure how much credibility can be attached to anything that's said by this particular outfit.
