I have some magazine scans in .jpg format, each issue is in a separate folder, like this:

\Your Spectrum 01\
\Your Spectrum 02\
\Your Spectrum 03\
\Your Spectrum 04\

and I want to be able to convert each folder into it's own .PDF file, so I end up with Your Spectrum 01.pdf, Your Spectrum 02.pdf, Your Spectrum 03.pdf, Your Spectrum 04.pdf, etc.

Thanks for any answers.]]> 10 Tue, 12 Nov 2024 01:48:40 +0000 https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/get-every-monday-of-the-year-automatically.796821/ https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/get-every-monday-of-the-year-automatically.796821/ invalid@example.com (kjvbible) kjvbible

It's long time since I have been here. Its like an old comfy jumper you put back on

Does anyone know and can tell me how I can hide the participants' list to not show for the participants and only the host so that privacy can be held?

Is this possible on a free version or do I need to pay for this feature?

Thanks
