Advice
- Users of Windows 7 and earlier operating systems cannot directly scan data into PDF files. In this case, the best option is to use the default scan settings and convert the scanned image into a PDF file.
Warning
- Fax and Scan (on Windows) and Image Capture (on Mac) are both free to use on the appropriate operating system. However, if you want to use Adobe Acrobat or a similar program, you must pay a fee through your account or membership registration to use the scan data to PDF function.
