All of the applications I installed to scan items, watermarked scans that were output to image files as well as those output as PDF files. I copy is being billed as a “free photocopier” and that is pretty much how I see it.
I finally came across an article on scanning on that listed an open source project called iCopy. 🙂 I will say that CutePDF has a free version that people like and that is what I use to print out/generate PDF files in my solution… The Free Scanner to PDF Solution: iCopy + CutePDF NOTE: I am not going to mention any of the sites I visited that watermarked because one ticked me off so badly by saying it was a full functioning version and when I went to print it a big black stripe went across the pdf image I was looking at and prompted me to buy the full version if I wanted to print watermark free images. All of the top Google results did not have a free scan to pdf application…some had trialware, but they all watermark the the image that is created so that you will buy the application…and, I am being cheap today. Most had some kind of free PDF creation application that tied into Windows’ printing function…allowing you to select a PDF “printer” just like Adobe Acrobat does….except without the big price tag. I start with the standard Google search for “scan to pdf” and it brought up a number of different applications, all commercial, with some free offerings. The Search for Free Scanning to PDF Files Begins
These days, we are rollin’ with the Perfection 1650 flatbed…OG style homey.
It would man handle a 2 page document and email it to me almost faster than I could make it back to my desk. I have been spoiled in recent times because we had a very nice enterprise level printer/scanner at the office with a 50 page document feeder on it. This is great if you have an old flatbed scanner laying around like I do.ĭanielle asked me if we could scan a document to PDF recently and I forgot I had a nice “old” Epson Perfection 1650 flatbed scanner laying around (well preserved). Today we are going to learn how to use free software to scan a single or multiple page document to a PDF.
