Is there any other way than Acrobat to convert JPEG to PDF?

Imagemagick's convert tool

Thanks Dwight, actually it works

Do you think that this tool is safe to use?

Safe how? It's reliable and can be used for production workflows. If you want JPEG PDF then it maybe better to use a different tool to avoid uncompressing and recompressing JPEG data.

You might be able to use Photoshop for this as well

Photoshop will be fine if the number of images isn't really high. The application will be started for every image you're processing, this will be much more slower than the suggested solution.

Best regards,

What other tools do you mean?

A bit expensive, but callas PDF Toolbox Server will also be able to do the conversion.

Until now I've tested a lot of files by Imagemagick.

I didn't see problems.

Remains to be seen

Thanks to all,

Aleksander

Actually the CS/CC applications are started and remain running after the first conversion. This can cause it's own problems.
