pdf24 is free, we use it loads.
For the final fiddly menu bits, we would need a proper version of adobe acrobat to do the menu etc.

Just downloaded it and tried it. Its good. Could you drop all that work into a real copy of Adobe for the final editing? Are they friendly?

yeah, pdf is a kinda industry standard.
acrobat is a bit nicer and a bit less clunky, but costs, bulk of the work could be done with pdf24 [or similar, there are loads out there, I just picked that one as it was top after a Google] and then just tidied up with acrobat.
or, if someone has acrobat it could all be done with that.
When I worked at Nissan all our data books and repair manuals were dirty great .pdfs, worked well.

Started to do this but there is an endless amount of images and 10 years for each set, I spent half an hour on it only to realize that I was only getting the "visible text" so had to go back and start again. I have done the first twenty images but became disheartened at the sheer amount of tedious repetition.

Would I need to "print" each Page for every year?

Any suggestions for "shortcuts" would be greatly accepted.
