I am looking for a very specific program. I want to be able to take many jpegs and stitch them together to make one pdf file. I would really like for somebody to suggest to me which program I could use to accomplish this. thx

Collect your pdf files the way you want them to appear, then "print" to "your" PDF printer... that's a short/simple explanation.
Printing to a "PDF Printer" of your choice is a very standard way to proceed.
"PDF Printers" are common -- if you don't already "have" one (MS Office, etc.)... get a free one -- they are absolutely common (just avoid the "pay" ones that stamp their watermark on your document).
I have to question why you want to proceed that way, when JPGs are even more common/platform-independent than PDF files.
Is this to simulate a slide-show of pics? Or is the "stitching" you want meant to create a "panorama-type" effect out of multiple photos? Your post: "...I am looking for a very specific program...." is not backed up by very specific details about your objective.

What I want to do is scan some sheet music as jpegs and have each page that i scan, a page in my pdf document. I am not sure I understand how i would "Collect your pdf files the way you want them to appear, then "print" to "your" PDF printer".
Thx

They offer the first 5 pdf creations for free.
Otherwise the specific program used to create .pdf files is Adobe Acrobat for several hundred dollars.

Sorry, this won't cost you anything at all! Plus, you may even have all the tools necessary already. There seems to be a great mis-understanding about the nature of PDF files, but this is not the place/time to discuss it. It is similar to PostScript, wherein you create a page-desription script file.
In very simple and practical terms, you will "print" to a Virtualprinter, only you are not creating a PRN, a PS, or EPS, but a PDF.
Create your document in whatever program you already have that can display graphics in multiple pages (like your Office suite word-processor, for instance), then print it to that PDF "Virtual-printer". You may already be able to do that -- check your list of available printers, there may be one listed.
If not, there are many out there, as I mentioned. Google it. Here is a File-Hippo URL to one of them:
TinyURL link where you can also view screenshots, and a link to the developer:http://www.primopdf.com/There are others, but not all are totally freeware.
End result, using Word as an example, you will:
• create your document - assemble/insert your sheet music scans into Word, in the page-order you like
• File/Print
• in the Print Dialogue box, select your PDF Printer, instead of your default Epson/HP/Canon, etc.
• note that you will have to give your print-job a filenameJust give that a try, and you will soon "amaze your friends"!
I was trying to keep this short, and still managed to ramble on -- sorry about that. Just follow those links, and be done with it - lol

thx justcuz!! This may be a stupid question but can you scan pictures into word without going through another program such as photoshop. I should know how to do that but I just can't think of it right now.
thx

SEE? I told ya it was NOT gonna cost you hundreds of dollars!
Trying to explain it in few words was a challenge I know I did not do well, but my "promise" was that it was gonna be cheap & easy... and some of the "mystery" would be stripped right out of it
You took a plunge on my say-so alone -- that was rather daring on your part -- somehow you decided to trust me on this (the daring part -- thanks for that), and it worked out. Great!
And I thank you for posting back -- I hope other people "got" something out of our conversation (such as it was)... I just needed to know what was "specific" about your project.
I could discuss/expound further on the nature of PDF files, but you (and most people) could not care less -- and I'm, OK with that.
Hope you "amaze some friends"-- just don't let on how easy it was.. Sh-h-h-h!
