Hi,

I have hundreds of .png files which I need to convert into .pdf's.

I can do them one at a time, but I'm thinking that there's a good utility app out there that would save me hours and hours by doing it all in one shot.

Any recommendations?

Thanks guys.


Daniel

The excellent GraphicConverter is what I use.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Which one of the mentioned apps would allow me to do the following:

Drag and drop 100's of .png files at one time, in a window, then let it do it's thing..

and voilĂ !

All files are now in .pdf's in another folder.

(These are songs btw (music scores and fake book pages) that will be imported in an iPad app (Forscore).


Thanks again.
