convert pdf... feature stopps if selecting .jpg files

[Andreasm82]

I installed the foxit printer addon.

Then I selected File -> Convert PDF... and select a .jpg file.

After that, it shows the progress bar, but on about 75% of it, it stopps... I can wait and wait. Nothing happens.

This happens with every file I select ... only selecting a .pdf file works.
But in that case, foxitreader is very unstable after the convertion progress.


So my suggestion: please make it possible that user can select some .jpg files and foxitreader creates a pdf file of them! One picture on each page.
Would be great if user scanned some handwritten pages and want to make a ebook from it

Hi,
Are you trying to convert pdf to .jpg?
pdf convert is used to convert other format files into pdf.

The suggestion you give can be fulfilled if you multi-select jpg files ->rightclick 'print' ->choose "Foxit pdf printer"

No I tried to convert .jpg to .pdf


You are right, multi-selecting works!

But, the options dialog of foxit pdf printer is too small and some options are party hidden! You should make dialogs bigger that user can access all options :-)

Maybe you should try PDFcreator (http://www.pdfforge.org/)

15 MB !?!?!?

yes, small isn't it :1_01:

(well, compared to most printerdrivers for modern printers, just had to install 200MB for some HP deskjet)
