i2pdf (image to pdf) is a fast and compact application built to create Adobe PDF documents from a collection of images, tipically scanned from a paper source or in form of digital photographs.
There are many similar programs out there, but the ones I tried were too big, too slow, too unstable (crashing when feeded with a lot of images) or too feature-rich for my needs.
So I wrote this for my personal use, as I wanted a light application, easy to use, and with a precise control over the final quality and size of the images stored inside the PDF.
Maybe it can be useful for you too and in that case you are welcome to use it.
In short, the basic usage of the program is as follow:
1. You drag and drop the images on the program window.
2. You click the Build PDF button.
3. You set the creation options accordingly to your needs and click OK.
Done !

i2pdf is available for both 32 and 64 bit systems, the 64 bit version should be considered experimental as I normally use a 32 bit OS, and for this reason its testing was somewhat limited.
So if you find something specifically wrong with it please let me know.
