The Image2PDF Command Line Tool is a simple utility that will convert one or more images into a PDF document. The conversion process is initiated by calling Image2PDF.exe directly from the command line, or from within a batch file, with parameters that control it's operation.
With Image2PDF Command Line Tool you can convert image files to PDF documents. The parameters can either be passed as arguments or, more usefully, by using one or more "command" files that are themselves passed as arguments or referenced from within other "command" files.
Image2PDF is NOT an Adobe Acrobat plug-in and it does NOT require Adobe Acrobat in order to run or produce PDF documents.
