Combining JPEG files

Kido

I've scanned aproximately 15 pages of documents to send via e-mail. To make things easier I then zipped them together. Unfortunately the company I'm sending them to won't accept RAR files, only JPEG.

Is there anyway to combine multiple scanned images into a single JPEG file. I don't want all the pages displayed at once, I'd like them to display individually, just open within the same file.

I hope this makes some sort of sense. i have googled it but only seem to come up with converting to PDF and I doubt the company will accept that either.

Rather than doubting...why not predetermine which files they can accept? Why would they expect you to send these documents via JPEG in a single file?

Why would they not accept compressed files, in the form of .zip?

Also we don't know which programs you have at your disposal, as well as the programs they have at their disposal.

Have you tried Microsoft Office Document Imaging? Powerpoint?

Many companies won't accept zipped folders just incase they contain a virus or other nasties.
A good AV scanner should detect these before unzipping, but I suppose that companies don't want to take the risk as it could well end up costing them a lot of time and money if something gets through.

I know they don't accept RAR files and in their e-mail it asks me to forward them in JPEG format. I was just looking for a neater way of sending them instead of sending mutliple individual pages.

I'm not sure what image programs do what. I use Openoffice for word documents and spreadsheets and I also have adope photoshop elements.

Is there a freeware version of the Document Imaging as it looks like the program I need.

Thanks.

Do they accept PDF, would be the easiest way to send as single file

Which operating system are you utilising?

I have windows 7 on my desktop and OSx on my Macbook. I can use either to combine the files.

You have a PM.

Just send them the individual JPEG files if that's what they're asking for. If they want to combine them into a single file they can do so themselves.

JPEG doesn't support multiple pages. At best you could stitch the pages together into a mega-size JPEG file but that would be pretty useless.

With Lammy on this - without seeing the site it's impossible to tell, but likely they have set themselves up to accept multiple JPEGs and filter out everything else, and have the processes to manage that from their side.

see if they accept PDF or TIFF files

with TIFF files you can scan multiple images in a single file and it's read like a PDF (It's a generic format used with digital fax machines all the time)
