    Scan documents to pdf without an active internet connection


    Hello there,


    I have been using the Surface Pro 6 in School for a while now, but there is one thing that crashes my workflow pretty hard and since I am not able to find a suitable answer I will ask my particular question right here.



    When in class I would like to scan documents using Office Lens on my Surface Pro 6. The App works pretty good - as long as I have an active internet connection.


    And that is my problem. We don't have wireless LAN at our classroom yet, but even thought I really don't want to depend on an internet connection at all times.

    Is there a way to simply scan documents to PDF right away without and active internet connection and awkward workarounds through the gallery?
    Same goes for OneDrive. I would like to just save PDFs into it and then when I am back home sync it with the cloud.


    Kind regards

    Jan

    :)

    Windows Fax & Scan: How to Scan Documents to PDF format?


    Greetings all,

    In connection with my job, I have several insurance companies asking me to send scanned documents in Portable Document Format (PDF). My Brother Printer Control Center Fax-Scan software is not yet compatible with Windows10, even in Windows7 compatibility mode. The Windows10 Fax & Scan program does not list PDF as a scan-to file conversion option. Only jpeg, bitmap, txt, etc..

    Is there a way to tweak or add-on something to Windows Fax & Scan to make it scan documents into PDF format? Thank-you for any guidance with this.

    -Allen
