How to Change Clipart from JPEG to PDF

Convert clipart JPEGs to PDF.

A JPEG file is a widely-used file format for images and can be viewed easily in any image viewer such as Windows Photo Viewer or Microsoft Paint. You might need to convert an image file to Portable Document Format (PDF), however, if you want to send a clipart file to someone electronically and don't want it to be easily changed. You can do this directly using either Adobe Acrobat or Photoshop. If you don't have either of the programs installed on your computer, download a free trial from the Adobe website (see Resources.)
