[Gimp-user] Multiple Images to Single File - Text

[jorglueke <forums gimpusers com>]

Thanks. Yes GIF is just because you can get all the images into a single file.
I'll look at the PDF options but yes the file size does get to be an issue.
Maybe I need to look at image to text conversion if such a thing exists.
