Frankly, I wouldn't bother with pdfs and instead make cbz or cbr files. You need CDisplay to view those, but all you'd need to do is pop all the images into a zip or rar file and change the file extension to cbz (zip) or cbr (rar).

e: But if you're set on pdfs, check this out. It's a tutorial to convert cbz into pdfs but if you already have all the files in one folder you can just skip steps 1 and 2. (Although if you could also make a cbz or cbr while you're at it, that would be great!)

Also, there are a few pdfs already floating around, so you may want to save yourself the work and stick to those that haven't been collected yet.

great thanks for that! it all worked great except with the epilogue. i must be doing something wrong because it will only save with a big white background and then i have to zoom in so much the comic becomes practically illegible. i don't spose anyone knows whats going wrong?

Don't think I know quite what you mean, but the epilogue is one file - maybe the program converts all images to the same height? In that case you'd need to split the epilogue up and copy/paste each page to its own file. Or maybe Matt has them saved as separate files and could supply them?

It's not a free program, but Adobe Acrobat Pro worked great for me.
