How to Convert JPG to PDF

When you save a photo to your phone or computer, it’s usually saved as a JPEG file. If you need a PDF version of your photo, you can easily convert it with software that's already on your computer, phone, or tablet. Another super-fast option is to use Adobe's free online JPG-to-PDF file converter. We'll walk you through converting a JPG image to a PDF on a PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, or iPad.

Question
How can I get multiple images to convert to a PDF in the order I want them?
Community Answer
If you follow method three and upload your images that way, you will be able to rearrange them before converting them to a PDF. (Incidentally, you can also convert multiple JPGs to one PDF file using this method without pasting them into a MS Word document first.)
