I spent quite a bit of time scanning the cover and about 37 pages of a 
bound manual for my portfolio.  I am using the Canon CanoScan 3000F 
scanner with the CanoScan Toolbox software. I started the task on 
Wednesday night and did not finish until almost 1 a.m. Thursday.

The tool scans each page and saves it into a separate .BMP file in a 
directory whose name is derived from today's date.

......You see where this is going?

When I had scanned the last of the pages I wanted, I clicked the 
"Finished" button instead of the one for scanning another page. At this 
point, the utility should go through and make a PDF from all the 
individual .BMP files it had generated.  It blew up, and offered to 
report the problem to Microsoft.  Thanks a bunch.

When the dust settled, I looked into my directories, and found of course 
that there are two separate ones: 2007-04-04 and 2007-04-05.

Can anyone here advise me on how to take a series of .BMP files and 
craft them into a PDF?
