Recently, scanners have begun to appear more and more often, which not only do not have their own software for scanning (they install only the driver, and for operation you need to use the standard software Windows), but also the physical “Scan” button on the case. This can make working with the scanner very difficult if you need to scan several documents at once.

If you need to scan, for example, a contract or some other document consisting of several pages, then scanning turns into a living hell. Not only do you have to start scanning every time through “Start” - “Devices and Printers,” but you also have to set the same settings for each individual page, which is especially inconvenient. But everything would be so terrible if it weren't for free application Scan2PDF, which does two useful things at once.

Besides convenient way scanning in one click and without unnecessary requests, Scan2PDF can save all received images into one PDF document. In essence, you will get one file-book with the required document or several documents, which are much easier to transfer via e-mail or post it on the website.

When saving a scanned image in JPG, the result is a very impressive file size, which can be problematic or simply inconvenient to transfer without compression and processing. And if there are many such files, then the task becomes even more complicated. When creating a PDF, everything is much simpler, since a single document is formed that contains all the materials and does not take up very much space. It can be quickly transmitted over the network.

For example, I recently scanned two documents, each one page long. I got two files in JPG format, each of which takes up 2.5MB. Yes, you could change the settings or process the files in the editor and get about 150Kb per file. But it is difficult and often inconvenient. In the case when I scanned using Scan2PDF, I received one PDF with a total size of only 340Kb.

Overall, Scan2PDF is very useful thing. Especially for those users who have to scan several pages of documents from time to time. Among the obvious shortcomings, I would note the absence of the Russian language in the interface during installation, although the Russian language itself is supported. It can be easily activated: go to settings (Options) and select Russia in the Language block.

Another drawback of the utility is the inability to work with several PDF documents at once. You can scan and save only one document. If you need to save scanned copies into several files, then the papers must be divided into stacks and scanned in parts, saving each one sequentially.

At work, you often have to send documents by email. And most often these documents are scanned and sent to pdf format with all signatures and seals. Such documents cannot be edited, they weigh less, and you can view them on any computer or smartphone by installing free program Adobe Reader or directly by email, without installation third party programs. And a free one is good for creating such files. PDF converter, which is available online.

The pdf format has gained wide popularity not only in office routine, it is also widely used on the Internet for distribution e-books, brochures, instructions and so on.

The question arises: “How to get a file in pdf format?” The most common way is to scan documents and save them in pdf format. There is also software that allows convert files to pdf. This is convenient when you have a multi-page document. Only programs that cope well with the task cost money. And it is not always reasonable to purchase a program if pdf creation document is not an ongoing task.

That is why the online service will be an indispensable tool in any situation. Free pdf converter accessible from any computer with Internet access. With this service, you can turn your documents (formats .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .rtf, .odt, .ods) into a finished pdf file.

With the advent of such a tool, scanners began to be used much less frequently in offices. Moreover, unlike scanned documents, converted ones do not have any blurry fonts, stripes, etc. The pdf comes out clean and neat.

Conclusion

Thanks to free PDF converter You can quickly convert any document or spreadsheet into a PDF file and send it by email or dump it onto an external drive. The whole process takes just seconds.

And some resourceful workers have long forgotten about signing and scanning documents. Once all the necessary signatures are scanned, they are inserted into documents and converted in the service. The output is a signed document in pdf format and no scanning or wasting time.

I am sure you will also find a use for this service.

It was described quite well and in detail about this file format and operations with it.
It is quite good in that the scanned documents and files are ultimately smaller in size compared to the scanned image (about 3-5 times). This is one of its advantages.
The second plus is the ability to combine scanned files into one. Of course, you can combine them in Word, but after looking at the first plus, you can refuse this. Especially if the files contain not only text, but also images.

One way or another, in this article we will look at programs specifically designed for this necessary task - scanning and combining files into one pdf document.

The first one is Scan2PDF, a German product.
A miracle, not a program. Here are its advantages:

  • free;
  • Russian interface language;
  • small size of the installation/executable file;
  • takes up little space during installation;
  • has a portable (no installation required) version.
  • allows you to create PDF files from existing images.

    Among the shortcomings, it can be noted that there is no Windows support 8 and the fact that it has not been updated since 2005.

    So, let's move on to the guide.

    After installation and launch, this main program window will appear:

    Immediately click on the menu Options and choose Options =)


    In field Languages choose Russian and the program window will immediately change - it will be translated into Russian. All that remains is to close it with the button Close:


    Now the program is in Russian and quite understandable:


    I don’t think it’s worth describing the purpose of the buttons, they are clear from the image, and hints pop up.
    The program window in operation is shown below:
