All the photos in that folder will automatically be loaded into the tool. The photos will be titled
according to the original file name such as 011.jpg. These file names can be edited after the tool
runs. (see step #7 Editing Photo Titles) To change the order of the photos, use the folder
settings to organize the photos as desired before using the tool.
A pop up will define how many photos were loaded for reference. Click “OK” on this pop up.

3. A dialog box will open that prompts the user for the location to save the output file. This
location can again be saved in any location.
Use the cursor to select a location for the output file, type a file name and click “Save”.
Please note – the output file type will always be a pdf regardless of the save as type selection
below. This allows the tool to create an optimized output.
