A little tool to convert images to PDF

In the first place its meant to convert scans done with e.g. Scandal
or Scanquix to PDF documents in certain output formats like
A3, A4, A5, Legal, Letter or ImageSize, but it can be used to convert
other image files too.

For requirements see the guide file.

Image2PDF is "Keymailware" ;-) and free to use without any restrictions !!

Just send an email to get your free keyfile with your chosen name.

  one image to PDF

  image file
- its now checked if the PDF file to be saved ends with ".pdf"
- improved error message in case of invalid loaded image/file

  be used)

- added the possibility to add more images to a PDF document. (one to a page)
  The output format of all pages is chosen after giving the first image
- added a counter to the PDF filenames if the docs have more than one page
  (doc_1.pdf , doc_2.pdf .... etc. , can be edited)
- the name of the image is now taken as the name of the PDF document if
  the document has only one page, can be edited
- Polybios plugin is now linked to the binarys so that it is not needed
  anymore to install it seperately
