Create PDF from raster image files

Create a new PDF file from all common raster image files like Gif, Tiff, Jpg, Jpeg, Jpeg2000, Jbig2, PCX, TGA, PSD, ...
Pass a folder to your image files and you will get a multipage PDF file containing all the pictures from the folder.
Squeezed down to a minimum size using the worlds best compression techniques like Jpeg2000 and Jbig2.

Archivable PDF files for document archivation
Pack your tiff files into archivable PDF files that meet the requirements of modern document archivation systems.
Add hidden textcontent to create searchable, indexable PDF documents even if they just contain pictures which are not indexable by default.

To create a PDF document from the input picture files(GIF, JPG, TIF, PCX , BMP, ...) use the -i switch.

In addition use the following arguments
	-f ... Name of the pdf document which will be created depending on the command -w ... Image file or folder to process -m ... Optional semicolon separated list of filemasks like *.gif;*.jpg;...

thbpdf.exe -i -w "c:\Folder with pictures" -f "c:\newpdf.pdf"
thbpdf.exe -i -w "c:\Folder with pictures" -m "*.jpg" -f "c:\newpdf.pdf" -o "c:\pdf.log"
thbpdf.exe -i -w "c:\picture.jpg" -f "c:\newpdf.pdf"


It is even possible to make the resulting pdfs searchable and indexable.
By default you wont be able to search for words in pdf files that just contain pictures.
In order to make pdf files better suitable for document archivation it is much better to incorporate text content into the pdf file.
To do this run an OCR operation over the image to convert the content to a digital text. The resulting textfile save with the extenstion '_text.txt'.
THBPdf will apply this text to the generated pdf file. When opening the new pdf and start a search you will find the text content.
You could also manually generate these textfiles or use the output of your scanner device which may already run an OCR operation on the document.
