Put 2 or more pages in one file

I have documents with 2 or more pages. Only way I have found to save
them is in 1 file for each page. Any freeware that will put the pages
in one file. Would also like to make a file with 1 page then later add
other pages to that where it be scanned or made with Word, etc. Zip will
nearly do that but the pages are still in separate files in that zip
file. Oh well then, Zip isn't free anyway.

These 2 don't quit fit my wants.
TXTcollector only does .txt files. The other one looks like the files
are all in one file and have to be opened individually. That would be
the same as making a folder and putting files in it, just no compression.
Maybe I'm not explaining what I want correctly.
Example: I have 3 pages of printed information someone has faxed me and
I want to save it on my computer. I want to scan these and put them in a
file that I can open and see all 3 pages by just scrolling up and down
to see them.
Is this possible? Another example: I have a project I'm building, say a
bookshelf. I go to down to buy supplies several times. I want to scan
these receipts and put them in a file, again where I can see them all at
once by scrolling.

Plus htm. Also ini, inf, reg etc but those are just text.

Any time you scan anything, you get a picture. Even if it is words on a
page you get a *picture* of those words. If you then convert that picture
to text with an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program you could just
copy and paste it to an existing text file.

Of course, he could import these pictures into a word processor
(AbiWord) or a DTP-program (RagTime) and save them in a document. Yet,
that would waste a lot of disc space. dadiOH's solution is much better.

A friend of mine has a HP scanner that saves to PDF all the pages
scanned.
If you get yhe three pages as single TIF files, you can make a single
multipage TIF with IrfanView. And if you want to 'mix' PDF's (even those
downloaded from the web), I have a freeware version of FyTek's PdfMeld
(now shareware). It works well.

The simplest and free way is to open the long document with any version
of WinWord of MSWord ... you said three pages long? Then, save it to
a PDF file.

To do this requires that you first had installed CutePDF (or any of several
other freeware printer drivers). When choosing the option to Print, you
merely choose the PDF option instead of your default printer. It will then
present you with a prompt to name your file and a place to save it to.

Will this work with a scanned (jpg) file? If not then at least I'm half
way home.

======================================================

ANYthing that you can show on your computer screen, in ANY client dealing
with
text or pictures .. such as MSWord, WordPad, IrfanView .... indeed, ANYthing
which presents an option to PRINT can be saved as a PDF file, later to be
viewed
with any ordinary Acrobat or GhostView reader program or browser, etc using
an Acrobat plug-in. This includes .JPG pictures seen on your screen by way
of
using any paint program or viewer, etc.

I downloaded cutePDF and installed. It does make a .pdf file quick and
easy. I can't get my 2nd. file in the same file as the first. I still
get 2 files. I have read many .pdf and as I scroll down I see page 2,
no need to go to another file. In other words I want my second file I
made into .pdf to be page 2 on the first file. I don't see how to do
that. Is it possible?

Maybe one of these two can be of some use to you:

Japos Merge File 74kb

Japos Merge File is a program that allows to combine multiple files to one
big file. Japos Merge File can not only merge files created with function
Japos Split File, but also files created with the Unix command split -b

http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?ID=204

UUMerge Freeware Edition 1.00 79kb

uuMerge Freeware Edition is a command line utility that can be used either
to combine multiple text files into a single text file with a separator line
between the contents of each file; or alternatively extract those file
later.

Vincent,
No, I haven't read your first post. I don't see a post from you in this
thread. I'm going to google to see if it is there. Perhaps my isp
dropped it for some reason.

LD,

The easiest way to do what you want is to open a new file in MSWord
(or any word processor. I prefer OpenOffice myself). Copy each scanned
jpeg into the new document file in the order you want to see them.
When you have them all pasted into the new file, print the new file as
a PDF. That'll collect the jpegs into one file.

Respectfully,

Dave

What about FileMerger? Ready to use only 35 KB.
http://home.planet.nl/~doesw008/filemerger.html

"FileMerger is an MFC dialog application, who's interface is very basic. All
the program's functions can be found both on the menu and on the toolbar. I
used FileMerger as a test project to find my way in the world of windows
programming."

If you do any html, you could do it that way too...just copy and paste to
the html file. That won't give you discreet pages, just one big file, but
you could make an html index to other "pages".
