Open the image or place it in a document and print to PDF.

I know that shaky provided a temporary fix with a trial version of some software, but for the future try Irfanview (it can do a a whole lot of things) and CutePDF.

Open the JPG and then print, selecting CutePDF as the printer. Job done.

And everyone else will have their equivalent of this but this is what I have been using for years.

If you Google jpeg to pdf there are mountains of websites that do it online and for free.

Failing that open photo click print change printer to pdf and it will save as a pdf.

You will if you install a PDF print utility such as PrimoPDF:

If I print in Win7, it always asks me somewhere for the printer or destination. The default is whatever you have set, but it should allow to choose alternatives, eg PDF printingsoftware such as CutePDF, PrimoPDF, etc

You will only see those options if you've installed one of the PDF "printers".

+1 for PrimoPDF. I used to generate simulator performance documentation using LaTeX and PrimoPDF.
