Why cant I scan up hard copies besides me being stupid

**terry57** · 23-07-2011, 06:53 PM

Got a heap of brilliant hard copies I want to post on the Door but cant sort the scanning process and resizing.

Just scanned an image and this is what I ended up with but the photo is clear in " My Documents."

Got me well foked.

Whats the Go.

There it is but where's the friggin picture hiding and how do I get the bugger open.

looks like you are saving the scans as a .pdf ?

use jpeg .

**terry57** · 23-07-2011, 07:03 PM

Sorry but I got no friggin idea how to do that ?? As far as I know I've done well just to get the bugger into My documents.

Bought a new scanner today HP Jobie, can you talk me through it.

somewhere in the menu there will be :

save file as ................

**terry57** · 23-07-2011, 07:16 PM

When I check properties it tells me "

Type of file = Adobe Acrobat Document . PDF

Opens with. = Adobe reader 9.3.

All I'm doing is pressing scan and this is what I end up with. ??????

Rescanned it but it gives no Menu to change it Jpg, it just scans straight up in PDF.

Open the PDF with Acrobat 9.3 and go to <file> <save as> <jpeg>

As Dog and Begs have mentioned already, Ter.
You need to change the scan code manually, regardless if you've a drop-down menu or not.

I don't know, try again tomorrow.

Tried that, no go its says save as copy or save as text. Nothing about Jpeg.

For sure I should be able to scan up in Jpeg and not have to change the bugger from a PDF. ???

Been right through the machine this morning and still cant suss it.

Carry on.
