The most common problem that you face when you give a JPEG image for printing is that more often than not, the printed version is completely different from what you can see on screen. This is because the way the image is displayed on computer screens, particularly the resolution, is completely different from the way a printer handles an image, again the resolution. If accuracy is important to you, as it will be if you are printing photos, then you are better off converting the photo into a PDF file so that the image is displayed without distortion, on all screens and is also correctly printed. Further, as we will see, if a PDF file gets damaged, there are recovery tools that will handle the PDF corruption and get back our photos.

 

Converting images into a PDF file is also more efficient when it comes to sending them via email or having to upload them for a website. You can include as many images as you want in a single PDF file ' you then need to send just this one attachment with your file instead of multiple images.  When the recipient gets your email, she or he simply needs to open the PDF document and scroll through the images right away, instead of having to open them one after the other.

 

Of course, there is an ever-present danger that the PDF file you have created may get corrupted and you will have to find a way of dealing with PDF corruption. Later, we will show how you will be able to easily retrieve images even from a damaged PDF file using a powerful recovery tool such as Advanced PDF Repair.

 

Using images as PDF files will also give you more control over them. You will be able to decide which one of your visitors has permission to merely view the file (the images), who can print the images and who can actually edit it. In fact, there is so much more that you can do with PDF documents of images ' you could create PDF photo-albums very easily; in fact, you could even have a slideshow with fancy page transitions.

 

With the increasing popularity of digital cameras the idea of storing photos, digitally, as JPEG images seems highly convenient. However, if you do not take backups as soon as you have some new images and for some reason, your images get corrupted, you may have a difficult time getting the images back. If you instead convert them into PDF files, then applications like Advanced PDF Repair will help you in dealing with the PDF corruption and in restoring every kind of data from the file, including images.

 

For all these reasons, you may want to think of saving your JPEG images as PDF files from now on.
