+1
does it have a batch tool?
The regular windows picture printing interface allows you to choose.

is there a reason not to just "print" to a pdf?

Just downloaded it and it prompted me to also download "Converter" which I did.

I noticed that Chrome shut down a few times during the download process and once open, it started showing hot links on random words, even here on DDF!
I checked my add-ons and there were like three undesired ones that I removed and that got back to normal.

The one thing that I still notice different is what I get upon opening a new tab on Chrome. I used to get a link to "Angry Birds" and one more thing, I don't recall exactly what it was, now I get the image below.
It might be a change in Chrome, but it literally happened at the same time of the download, can someone tell me if they get it as well or is it just me?

Never mind. It was an extension called "Defaultab" which I had overlooked. Removed it and problem solved.

Gotta be careful, lots of legit programs have anoying add ons during installation. They usually give an option not to install, gotta look out for it.

Argh. I should have clarified this before... I didn't know that this worked online.
I do not want my files uploaded to the web. Is there any other program which I can use to convert to PDF without the use of the internet?

They are being force-fed by none other that "CNET installer", it turns out...

The way I usually convert to PDF is... I place the pic on a Microsoft Publisher document and save the document to PDF, that usually works great for me.  It should also work with MS Word.
