    I have some scans of my old 2000ad comics i want to turn into a pdf file before they turn into compost.

    I have tried a free pdf printer but it gets the photo order wrong for some reason, all photo`s will be full page most portrait , but a few landscape mode.

    can anybody help.

    thanks.

    What was the name of the program? (just so people don't suggest it again, or so you can find out what's wrong with it)

    Look into family and friends that have Abbyy software that comes with their all-in-one printers. You can also buy a personal edition for about 65-85quids.

    cheers ...

    If you have Word 2007, it comes with a builtin PDF "print" option. Import the pictures, lay them out as you want and then "publish" (Word 2007's term) to PDF.

    By far the best pdf converter is Foxit. I've tried many but Foxit Creator retains the best quality.
