Good to know

Same as image makes each page match its picture. A4 or Letter centres the pictures on standard pages, which is what you want when printing.

Landscape pictures automatically get a landscape page.

Choosing the page size

A trap with phone photos

With Same as image, pictures are placed at 96 pixels per inch. A 4000 × 3000 photo therefore makes a page about 105 cm wide. It looks fine on a screen, but it will confuse print shops and some upload portals. For anything official, pick A4 or Letter, and the picture will be scaled to fit a normal page.

Margins and file size

• None runs the image to the page edge, Small adds about 8.5 mm and Large about 17 mm. Home printers cannot print to the very edge, so use a margin if the content goes that far.
• Each picture is stored as a JPG at 92% quality, and transparent areas turn white.
• If the PDF is too heavy for an email or a portal, run the photos through the image compressor first, then build the PDF.

Photographing documents so that they read well

Lay the page flat in daylight and hold the phone directly above it, so that the sides stay parallel. Turn off the flash, which tends to leave a glare patch. Crop away the table around the page before you build the PDF, and check that each image is the right way up.
