Hi all @GAOTD.

I have been using for the last 3 years,JPEGTOPDF freeware Ver 1.0 http://jpegtopdf.com which also enables Batch conversion, Image Positioning, Image stretching and Command Line capability and is extremely kind on system resources.

Results are not much different BUT todays app also offers compression which is not very effective in what I had previuosly.

Thanks GAOTD.

I found this a quite useful application, especially when sending images attached to an eMail, where I could reduce the size of the image without too much loss of quality from the original. For example, I converted an image from 108Kb to 55.1Kb with a Compression Quality setting of 75% - which seemed to be about right after some experimentation. Personally I found that anything less than 70% (ish) Compression Quality made the resultant image less than attractive!

Maintaining a Compression Quality setting at 100% basically means that the image is exactly the same 'weight' as the original, but now in pdf format, not much point in doing that really!

If you look again at a 150% the resultant image quality is awful, but then again, what do you expect? So to summarise, I found the best results from 70-75% compression and make sure you review the resultant output with Adobe Reader/Foxit set at 100%. A keeper for me, thanks again GOTD!
