but what would you use to convert the scanned images to PDF?


Find someone who has a Mac running OS X.
When you select "Print" you have to option of saving as a PDF.

On the PC you'll need something with a PDF export function (I think Photoshop has this).

yes, but that means making a pdf for every page!
yes, I know you can import pdf's INTO a pdf (eventually making one pdf for an issue), but what I'm saying is that this will take up more space.

i think it's better to scan to jpgs (pdf's like jpgs) and then load up the jpgs into one pdf.


You can always load the Jegs into a word processor or presentation program (powerpoint / keynote) and press print from there.  That'll create a multi-page PDF.

There could be a problem though with the size of the PDF.  I created a 1.5GByte PDF last year but no PDF reader I tried could display it!

I also have a healthy collection of Amiga Format issues (don't forget, all the covers to them can be found on AFCD52), a non-stop collection from issue 89 to 136.


Hmm, I just remembered there's some form of database of Amiga Format stuff on the Walker.

There's a picture here.

Hmm, doesn't seem to say much...
