First, here is my notes on converting an
JPG image to a G4 TIF image in Windows:
"If I wanted to go there, I wouldn't start from here". Unless you have
no scanner and have obtained these JPEG files from someone else, there
is no point in saving your scans as JPEG in the first place. I just scan
straight to 300dpi bilevel TIFFs.
Hans turned me onto IMG2PDF for windows (demo
version
on the Web). But I must have screwed up the
installation. It produced a 6 page PDF file but the
pages were all blank and the file was 4K in size!!
I had a similar problem when importing TIFFs into Acrobat. The problem
turned out to be that the 300dpi TIFFs had been erroneously labelled as
72dpi (by Paint Shop Pro, I think). Acrobat choked when it thought it
would have to produce a page size of about 35" by 45".
