    How to convert images to pdf files

    How to convert images to pdf files

    Convertings images to pdf (or to another image format) is achieved using our file renaming option in the Image destination setup. The file mover engine knows what to do because it knows the file extension from the source and destination file.

    A good idea is start with the following blog article: Converting images to pdf with limagito file mover

    We received the following question from a customer:

    I follow your step about image to pdf process and it works prefectly. I m curious about how to resize the photo as smeller one or compress the PDF in a smaller file in the result.

    In version v2025.7.13.0 we added a “IO Parameters PDF” option:

    In our example we added the following three actions:

    • IO Parameters PDF > adjust PDF compression (an other options)
    • IO Parameters > adjust JPEG compression parameters
    • Output to File

    • IO Params PDF
      • Compression: adjusted the compression to JPEG instead of uncompressed
      • Paper Layout:
        • Portrait (default)
        • Landscape
      • Paper Size:
        • A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B5
        • Letter, Legal, Ledger, Tabloid
        • Auto
          • If selected then the output will be the size of the image which may create huge PDF pages
        • Custom
          • Will use Paper Height and Width value
          • Specifies the height and width of the output in Adobe PDF points (1 point = 1/72 of inch). Default values are width: 595 and height: 842 (A4 format).
      • Page Margin
        • Specifies the size of margins (blank area) on all sides of the output when saving to PDF.
        • Value is in Adobe PDF points (1 point = 1/72 of inch), e.g. 72 would be 1 inch margins.
      • Image Options, by default all images are scaled and not centered
        • Shrink Only: If not specified, all images will be made to fill the entire output. If specified, only large images are shrunk. Small images are not enlarged
        • Centered: Specifies that the image will be centered within the output

    • IO Params
      • We adjusted the JPEG Quality factor to 90%

    • Output to File:
      • Adjusted output directory:

    • The image conversion is done using the File Rename option. Adjusting the destination file extension is the trigger we need to do the conversion. In this case we are converting all source files to pdf but othe destination image types are possible.

    How to include pdf page count next to the filename after moving

    Q: Could you assist, can I include a PDF page count next to the filename after moving PDFS in my Rule Events email notification. Also a total number of files. Thank you for your time.

    A: Yes this is posible using some Pascal Script.

    • We used a Windows folder as Source

    limagito file mover windows folder as source

    • File Filter Setup:
      • We only want to move pdf files ( *.pdf )

    limagito file mover file name include filter

    • Pascal Script Setup:

    limagito file mover pascal script

      • Enable and add the following ‘On Rule Begin’ script:  link
        • psVIA := 0; will set the Integer parameter %VIA to zero
        • psVSA := ”; will clear the String parameter %VSA

    • Rule Events Setup:

    limagito file mover rule events

      • Enable ‘On Success’ event and enable ‘Enable Mail’
      • In the Mail setup we’ll use the parameters %VSA and %VIA
        • %VSA will contact the filename and page count
        • %VIA will contain the total number of files

      • Don’t forget to enable ‘Trigger mail event after scan’ because we want a single email ofter the move is done:

    • Function Setup:
      • Enable ‘Exit Cyclus on Error’ because the second Destination (Pascal Script) should not be executed when the move of a source file is not successful.

    • Destination Setup:
      • First Destination must be the actual Desination of the Source Files, in our case a Windows folder
      • Second Destination is a Pascal Script which will count the total number of files successfully moved and will keep track of the pages of each pdf file.
        • This info is used in the Rule email event.

    In Limagito File Mover v2025.2.16.0 we added the Imageen PDF plug-in. This makes it possible to use our Image as destination and convert images to pdf. The setup is very simple.

    • We used a Windows folder as Source:

    • We used the following Filename Inlcude Filter, only interested in jpg and tiff files:

    • As Destination we used IMAGE:

    • IMAGE as Destination Setup:
      • First Action is ‘Geomatric Manipulation’ because we want tor rotate the image first
      • Second Action is ‘Output to File’

    • Geometric Manipulation:

    limagito file mover image rotation as destination setup

    • Output to File:

    limagito file mover image output to file

    • The converting to pdf is done using our File Rename option. The engine will know what to do if it finds a different file extension as destination.

    RegEx:  (.*)\.(.*)

    Replacement:  \1.pdf

    FYI: You can adjust the Replacement setup to convert to other image formats too, like png:  \1.png
