Okay, I have a letter on letterhead that I want to make copies of, and it looks like I need a converter to change the JPG of my scan to a PDF. Am I right, or is there a better way?
I'm okay with downloading a converter but am paranoid about getting some bad stuff along with it. Can anyone recommend a JPG->PDF converter that works and won't give me viruses? I have a job interview tomorrow morning and want to have this letter copied to take to it (and am going to be out of town most of the day today to visit a very sick MIL), so I don't have tons of time.
Thanks in advance!

If you are printing the letter I don't see what it matters if it is jpg or pdf.
If you are sending an electronic file a jpg should be fine but some places only take pdf files and a pdf file makes sure their printer settings don't change the layout of your letter.
eta: my scanner software allows me to select pdf at the time of scanning. Could you rescan and select it to save the file as a pdf?

When I tried to print it as a JPG the margins were very big and it really looked different from the original letter. I did attach it electronically once already, that site was fine with it in JPG form.

Do you have any photo editing software? Photoshop can save as a PDF, I think PS Elements can too. I would even think many word processing programs can.

I use BullZip all the time. I generally convert TO jpg or png with it, but you can convert jpg to pdf with it. It is a virtual printer. You click your item you want to "print" (convert" and then select BullZip as your printer, instead of your regular printer. I generally use it with Silhouette Studio to convert their proprietary file format to a printable and high resolution JPG or PNG. It has been quite a while since I have downloaded it -and if I remember correctly it is a safe download - BUT READ EVERYTHING before clicking ok. There may be a toolbar install somewhere in it, but you can easily opt out if you READ IT ALL before clicking OK  BullZip |

Open your jpg and try file to save as and see what your choices are in there. Make sure to keep an original copy that ISN'T a PDF as you can't edit a PDF.

Is your letter in Word? What happens if you save the whole document as a PDF?
