converting jpg to pdf

Help Needed!

Have a jpg picture which I need to add some text to so I can make an advert of some sort. Problem is I can't find anything to convert it to .pdf so I can use Adobe to do it. I did a quick google and found Zamzar but it does not convert to pdf.....any help GREATLY appreciated!!

My way of doing this would be:

1. Open the jpg in GIMP (a brilliant and free image editor) http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

2. Add your text using GIMP's text tool. When you're done, go to edit - copy.

3. You can then paste your modified image into MS word or OpenOffice Writer http://download.openoffice.org/ and print/export to PDF.

There's probably an easier way but there's my two cents.

if you have adobe, it should be an option in the dropdown menu

get pdfcreator from sourcefourge - free open source etc.
it sets up a printer, when you print to it you get a pdf file or other formats

only works with apps that can print , you may have to use custom paper sizes if you want to bigger than A0
