Stupid end-user (me) in need of techie advice

Ok, but what happens after you get the images into pdf format? That in itself doesn't give you the ability to make a slideshow.

I used a program called ProShow (runs about $60) that lets me synch slides very precisely with music, and then can convert the output to a variety of common viewing options. My version doesn't have that neat ability to have individual slides "drift," but perhaps newer versions do. You can add titles and such, but it only works with image files - such as jpegs.

Further, if you want to spice-up the actual images, I don't think you can do that with pdf files. But with image files, you can do tons of stuff with PhotoShop (or the much cheaper and almost as versatile PaintShop).

You're right, but I think 99% of the people who ask for this information want just that, the info. Down the line I think it would be fun to create a more arty, and fun slideshow, but for the time being, a PDF will work fine and enable me to put the thing on a CD for those who ask.

I will check out ProShow, sounds like a fun piece of software and something I can play with to perhaps create something to promote the RV book. (When that day comes).
