Seeking affordable way to dump 70 screengrabs from iphone into a format – IN ORDER – that can be PDF’ed where the output is 8.5×11 or 8.5×14? My priority is speed and ease of use of tech. Doing this manually will take forever. It’d be such a dream if there were an AI where I can select the screengrab’s and they’ll be moved into a format in order. Any tips or advice? Thank you. submitted by /u/traumakidshollywood
