Changing PDF Scans To Other Formats
As the most popular online PDF software, we’re also here to help you convert your scanned images (saved in PDF format by default).
Once you create a file with our mobile PDF scanner, you can click the icon for more options, and select “Convert to … ” The app should then present you with a list of available file types, including Word, JPG, Excel, and PPT.
Since the app cannot store non-PDF files, we’ll automatically send them to your online file storage service—easily accessible on mobile, via your internet browser.
