Answer 1

You can scan the document the same way you scan images, and save it as a .jpg file, just like you do with images.

Then, use this link: http://www.pdfonline.com/index.htm to change it to a .pdf document, which everybody's computer can read easily. Hit the "Convert to PDF for Free" link.

You may have to shrink the image a bit [do that in Paint, or in the Windows Picture Viewer] since the .pdf website has a problem with really large files. It says the max is 2 MB, but I've had trouble getting smaller documents than that, if they're large, back in a timely manner. I recommend using your yahoo email address to get it back to; it works well.

Just save the document on your hard drive, and then you can email it easily.

I've done this at 4:45 in a sweat to get out the door by 5 and made it.
