    Scanning documents to PDF file


    How can I get documents to scan to a pdf file instead of the GIF, BITMAP,

    or PNG, These are the only options available in the scan application. I need to be able to scan documents and save them in a PDF format.

    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
