Right...
I have scanned 5 images, all single pages. Now I want all 5 pages to be on 1 document (i.e. 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc...)
How do I achieve this???

I hope you have this sorted by now, but if you don't...

What format are the 5 images saved in?

That sucks - they will need to be rescanned and compiled in one document as you go.

You can't do it with Adobe Reader, you need Adobe Acrobat.
Acrobat is the full version of the software that enables you to create PDF files, print to PDF et al.

The reader is just a program to view those files.

So what you need, is Acrobat. Then it's a simple process of opening one page, then "inserting" another (and telling it to go before or after etc).

will that do the trick?

Nah mate, that's just a reader, have you considered just scanning your images and putting them into something like Word?

If you wanted to stick by Adobe (I know I wouldn't) you'd need something like this:

Don't have much experience with this but Foxit claims to be able to convert .pdf to plain text if that is any help.Apologies if I am barking up the wrong tree but check it out yourself
