Create a PDF photo report from a folder

A visit report, construction update or collection of images is easier to share as a single document. Build a photo sheet in 3PDF, adjust its presentation and save the result as a PDF.

Steps in 3PDF

  1. Prepare the report’s photos

    Collect the useful images in a folder and remove duplicates. Add your photos using 3PDF’s photo sheet creation tool. Check their order so the report follows your visit or the subjects you want to present.

  2. Set the layout

    Choose portrait or landscape and the number of photos per page. Adjust page margins and spacing between images. Caption and page numbering options help readers identify photos and find their place in the report.

  3. Check file size and save

    Adjust resolution and quality for the intended use. The target file size setting and calculation button help you work on document size. Check that important details remain legible before saving the PDF in your chosen folder.

The result and what to check

Putting more photos on each page makes them smaller in print. To show a defect or a fine detail, use a less dense layout. The related French-language video demonstrates the controls in the actual application.

How many photos should I put on a page?

Available choices range from 1 to 12 photos per page. Choose according to the details readers need to see and how the report will be shared. Inspect the PDF at its intended viewing size before settling on a layout.
