      Thanks for the replies. The cutePdf app looks promising. Will try this in the first instance and report back in a day or two.

        Update

        I needed to create pdf docs from a number of scanned images. Basically the free stuff was not up to th job. Cutepdf was the best of the bunch, but this can only create a pdf doc from a single file. So if you have 8 images you get 8 pdf docs. Others had similar restrictions and those that claimed to be able to combine files into a single pdf were unsatisfactory.

        The solution was to download a trial of cutepdfpro. This does everything required, but in trial version adds a footer to the first page. However, this was ok in this instance. To buy is £25 so could be worth the small cost in order to go faxless in future.

        Another solution is Deskpdf. Did not try it, but has very good functionality also and is only £15.

        I'm sure the other solutions mentioned has merit as well. Thanks.

          Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional.
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Cutting and pasting the scanned images together into a single image, or pasting them all into a single document, prior to CutePdf-ing with the free version would solve the problem I think...
