How To Scan And Email A Doc

[Billsotx]

I'm working with a pdf that was emailed to me.

I have made a hard copy, i.e. printed the pdf, it's a legal contract approximately 30 pages. I have to hand-write in some changes and initial same and return email it. My printer will scan. Is it possible to scan it back into an emailable attachment? My scans comeout jpgs and I hate to email a slew of jpgs if there is another option. Will a zip file bundle a bunch of jpgs?

I appreciate any pointers.

a lot depends on your scanner model. The new HP's have a lot of different file options. I'm pretty sure my settings can be changed to a PDF. You might check and see if there's an update to your scanner software/drivers. I haven't checked out Chancey's links, but my favorite PDF program is CutePDF Writer. It's pretty basic and just "Prints" whatever you want to a pdf document, so you can print your jpg's if you have to and it will save them as a PDF instead of a picture.

Hi there

Scan your new or altered document and save to the desk top as a jpg file.

then download cute pdf from here http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp

Once downloaded and installed

open the pictures of your documents or whatever they may be and select print. then when it says which printer click cute pdf.

This will then activate and make a pdf of your document and you can save as whatever you like (file name) and save it anywhere you wish on your computer.

then write a new email and attach (using the attach button) the pdf file you wish to send.

bingo all done.

good luck

I put a vote in for using cute pdf writer as well.

I am a computer technician at a middle sized college, and we have this installed on all our 120 staff computers (teachers are not the smartest people at times!) and even the complete technophobes manage to use it ok.

Yeah, I'm a network admin at a college. I have a lot more of them to deal with (as well as some of the students) but the problems are all the same.

I have CutePDF installed. I used it to convert a couple of jpgs to pdfs. I saved the pds (made from the jpg) in the PDF file with all my other pdfs (actually in a sub-folder.

Double clicking the converted pdf to open it, it opens in Adobe Reader and it appears in landscape view. I can rotate it but it will not Save so that it stays upright (portrait) view.

I tried to print it from Adobe Reader but it doesn't print. I get a small window: Adobe Reader has stopped working ... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. (No solution shows up.)

I can print from Word, Notepad, Excel, so the printer works, but Adobe Reader does find it.

Two days ago I printed the 30 page contract from Adobe Reader, so I messed it up with CutePDF probably. Any ideas how to hook back up to the printer.

You only have Adobe Reader, right?? Not professional or anything? You can't save anything with Reader. Make sure your Adobe is up to date first. CutePDF doesn't interact with Adobe at all, so trust me that it didn't mess up your Adobe.

Are you trying to reprint them just to experiment? CutePDF is just like any other printer and you can set it to "print" in either landscape or portrait view as well.

Thanks to all for your help on this one.

Did you get it all figured out? My brains working a little better today, so if you still need help with something it might not sound so sporadic coming from me.
