Looking for a "virtual scanner' software in one pass, outputting in PDF.

AndyM:
I googled "print to jpg" just out of curiousity, several things there.

If you could print directly to a jpg or tiff (with no loss of quality), may be you could write a script to send the graphic output to a pdf maker etc.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

2/ the output quality (tif to pdf) is quite poor (maybe a setting in an irfanview plugin ?)

yes, re-check your settings. The quality can be surprisingly good, if you set them to be.


Edited:

This first gif screenshot made the long way from docx printed to tiff, converted via  IrfanView to pdf:

Innuendo:
There are lots of programs (some pay & some free) that install a PDF printer driver. Just print from inside the app of your choice & the output goes to a PDF file rather than to a physical printer.

But most of them output to PDF in the format they were given, ie. text document input->text PDF output, image input->image PDF output

I think what MerleOne wants is no matter what the input, the PDF will always contain just images - what PDF Image Printer, (not free and not cheap), does.
