I've been scanning my magazine collection. I now have a few hundred scanned pages, and I want to assemble them into PDFs.

All the original pages are a standard 8.5 by 11, scanned at 300dpi and 24 bit color. Overkill, I know, but I have the hard disk space to spare and I didn't want to lose anything.

If you know what I should do next, please tell me. Otherwise read on.

As a first step I made an HTML index file, and opened it in Open Office. OO insists the images are (about) 25" by 33". If someone could tell me how to resize all the images at the same time, or a macro that could do it, I'd appreciate it. I also have Word 2002, and don't mind using it. I can also down-convert the image resolution if necessary.

Thanks.
