Hi Jeanette Anybody with access to the internet can download an Acrobat Reader file free. So if you have a program that saves your scan as a pdf you don't really have to worry about the other person being able to read it. In contrast, not all computers will be able to read jpg or tif. Stan |

Rick My hero! lol. Once agian you've saved the day. Yes I think I could have scanned it as a photo or something like that. I would then of course be able to send it as a jpg. I was thinking that because it was text I had to scan it as text. Doh! Would this work for the 45 page document aswell? Cheers mate! Jeanette |

Hi Jeanette, Sounds like your scanning the image as text & that's why it's offering you those formats. Is there an option when you scan to do so as an image ? You should then be able to create jpg, bmp, tif files etc. Rick. |

Thanks Vall I wasn't given the option of a jpg file - that's what fooled me! I'll ask the person I'm sending it to if she's got Acrobat Reader. It might make life a little easier. Jeanette |

I wanted to send somebody a copy of a cert I have so I decided to scan it and send it as an attachment. When scanning I was asked whether I would like to save it as an rtf, htm or pdf file. I plumped for rtf. The email and attached document have been sent back this morning undelivered. I think the rtf file was probably too big. So what should I save it as? I also want to send a scan of a 45 page hand wriitten document. What do you do? Jeanette |
