To scan a document and save it as a PDF, you can follow these steps:
1. Make sure you have a scanner connected to your computer. This can be a standalone scanner or a multi-function printer with scanning capabilities.
2. Open Adobe Acrobat on your computer. If you don’t have Adobe Acrobat installed, you can download and install it from the Adobe website.
3. Click on the “File” menu at the top of the Acrobat window and select “Create PDF” from the drop-down menu. This will open a sub-menu with various options.
4. From the sub-menu, choose “From Scanner.” This will open the Acrobat Scan dialog box.
5. In the Acrobat Scan dialog box, you will see a list of registered scanners on your computer. Select the scanner you want to use from the list.
6. Next, you can choose a document preset from the drop-down menu. Document presets are pre-configured settings that optimize the scan for different types of documents, such as black and white text, color photos, or grayscale images. If none of the presets suit your needs, you can choose “Custom Scan” to manually adjust the settings.
7. Once you have selected the scanner and the document preset or custom scan settings, you can click on the “Scan” button to start the scanning process. The scanner will start scanning the document.
8. After the scanning is complete, Acrobat will display a preview of the scanned document. You can review the scan and make any necessary adjustments, such as rotating pages or cropping the document.
9. If you are satisfied with the scan, you can click on the “Save” button to save the scanned document as a PDF file. Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the PDF and give it a name.
10. click on the “Save” button to save the scanned document as a PDF.
By following these steps, you can easily scan a document and save it as a PDF using Adobe Acrobat. Remember to check the settings and make any necessary adjustments before saving the PDF to ensure the best quality scan.
