Latest addition:  The program now supports multi-page images.

History:

01-12-2012: The program now allows dropping a folder onto the list. The folder (and subfolders) will be scanned for images. Fixed a bug with processing some GIF files. 10-17-2011: Modified the command-line support to accept wildcard character asterisk in input specification. Example: JPEGtoPDF.exe "C:\Output.PDF" "C:\Images\*.*" 10-09-2011: Fixed an issue with conversion to a single PDF, which would limit the PDF page size to a max of 17"x17". 09-02-2011: Fixed a setting not saving correctly (saving opposite) for page size (image size versus specific size). Minor fixes. Conversion might be a little faster now. The file list does not allow duplicate entries. Perhaps this should be changed.. 08-22-2011: Fixed the "Browse for Images" dialog not matching image types with their extensions correctly. 07-28-2011: When determining the number of pages in an image, .JPG files (and all variations) will be treated as single-page images. 07-19-2011: If the program is saving a single PDF, and that filename does not end in .PDF, the program will now automatically add the file extension. 07-15-2011: Added support for Windows 9x. 06-08-2011: Added buttons for Move Selection Up, Move Selection Down. Fixed one line that was missing a condition for .JPF files. 05-13-2011: When saving as a single PDF file, the program will now check if the output file already exists, and will prompt the user to overwrite the file. 04-13-2011: Added support for .JPF files (an extension for jpeg2000 I was not aware of). The program now correctly retrieves the resolution setting in .JP2 and .JPF files. 03-22-2011: Fixed a bug in the folder validation/creation function, which may have only affected some versions of Windows. 02-28-2011: If the specified output path does not exist, the program will now create it, instead of failing to convert. 02-25-2011: Added an option to enlarge images to fill the page area. Cleaned up some file permissions (only opening the image files as Read-Only, in case they are open elsewhere). Added some better error-handling for situations such as Could Not Create/Overwrite PDF file (because it's probably open in Acrobat). 11-22-2010: Removed a .Net 2.0 SP2 dependency. So now the ServicePack2 is no longer required. Fixed a bug in JPEG2000 to PDF conversion. 07-02-2010: The command-line interface now returns an exit-code. 0 for success, 1 for failure. 06-26-2010: The program now saves and restores the settings. 05-19-2010: Added support for converting multi-page images. 04-15-2010: Updated code to support files larger than 2gig. 02-26-2010: Files dropped onto the list will now be sorted before being added to the list. 02-22-2010: Added options for Units of Measure. The program now supports Inches, Centimeters, and Millimeters. The 'Browse for Folder' window now contains a 'New Folder' button. 02-19-2010: Changed the default output path from C:\ to the users Desktop folder. The interface can now be resized. When writing multiple PDFs, the original image extension will now be preceded by an underscore, instead of a period. 02-18-2010: Added support for unicode filenames. Rewrote the CommonDialog code using managed .Net objects. Cleaned up the interface a little, to fix font issues with Windows 7. Added a 'Clear List' option to the right-click menu. Added .EMF and .WMF to the supported file types. Previously: Added support for image formats other than JPG. Rewrote the program in VB.Net 2005.
