In the last article, I presented some usages about an application VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer
that is used to print documents of Office to PDF. The developer of the
application said that it can be used to convert any printable document to PDF,
including image. Now I will show the function of printing image to PDF with VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer,
taking JPG to PDF, PNG to PDF and BMP to PDF as examples.
Firstly, download the application. It has a homepage at http://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/pdfcamp.htm. There are two versions of the application, the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version, and here I use the 32-bit version . After download, it comes to the installation. The installation is easy and similar to other applications, so I will omit the description.
We will see a virtual printer with name of “PDFcamp Printer” in the “Printers and Faxes” item of “Control Panel” after we install VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer. Now let’s see how to use the application to print an image to PDF.
Open one JPG image, for example, with “Windows Picture and Fax View”, and then press the [Print] button (or hotkey Ctrl+P) to activate the “Photo Printing Wizard”. Confirm to printing the selected JPG image by press the button “Next >”. Then we come to the dialog as displayed in the next screen snapshot. Select the printer “PDFcamp Printer” in the combo box “What printer do we want to use?” and press [Printing Preferences] to customize the printing if we need. Press [Next >] and [Next >], then we will come to a “Save As” dialog requiring where to save the created PDF from the JPG image. Choose a directory and give a name in the dialog, then we have printed an image of JPG to PDF.
For printing PNG to PDF and BMP to PDF, operations are similar to that of printing JPG to PDF. If we need some else ways to complete the conversion from an image to PDF, such as command line with MS-DOS interface for batch process, I think we might need the pro version of PDFcamp Printer. The application offers a 32-bit pro version, and we can download it via this link, http://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/pdfcamp_enterprise.exe. The difference between PDFcamp Printer and PDFcamp Printer Pro is that the latter has a component program named “BatchToPDF” that provides a GUI and CMD interface for batch process.
We will find an executable file named “BatchPDF.exe” in the installation directory of VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer Pro, to my choice, “C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer Pro v2.3\”.
A simple command line usage for make an image or any other printable document to PDF is,
BatchPDF.exe source.png target.pdf <Enter>.
In the command line, “BatchPDF.exe” is executable tool of VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer Pro, “source.png” is the source document, and “target.pdf” is the name of target PDF file. This command line is used to complete printing an image of PNG to PDF. If call this application with a batch script, it will be easy to process plenty of documents to PDF.
There is another method to achieve batch process with GUI. Double click the icon of “BatchPDF.exe” in the window of Windows Explorer, and we will see a window like that in the next screen snapshot. With this GUI, we can printing more than one document to PDF, including image to PDF, with some quick clicks.
Well, I have shown the operations for printing image to PDF, e.g. JPG to PDF, BMP to PDF, and PNG to PDF with an easy-to-use application PDFcamp Printer. However, the trial version will add watermarks to created PDF, and I have bought a registration key from the page http://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/pdfcamp.htm. It is indeed worth $29.9.
