How to Scan a Page & Change to PDF Format
The layout of a file may change depending on the type of software you are using to read it. Converting a file to PDF format is useful, therefore, as PDF files preserve the layout of the file. This is helpful when the files have to be printed or mailed. Scanned pages are stored in TIFF, PNG, JPEG and GIF formats. They can be converted to a PDF format for free using one of several available PDF file creators.
