How to Convert a JPG to PDF in Windows Vista
Pictures that are taken with a digital camera or camera phone and transferred to your computer use a common format called JPG. This type of format can easily be edited, saved and even converted to a different file type, such as a PDF when using a computer with Windows Vista. Converting a JPG to a PDF in Windows Vista can be done by installing a PDF creator, such as novaPDF, onto your system.
