I've used programs like that in the past. Usually you are converting
PDF files but some of them can convert image files as well. It's a
long time since I did that but a quick look online suggests that
Adobe Acrobat can do PDF files and there are a number of online
services that claim they can do it. PDF2GO mentiones converting
pictures as well as PDF's. For programming though I'm not certain
these programs are 100% accurate and results probably have to be
checked for errors.
