You can use Soda PDF to create a PDF file directly from your scanner. The app will connect to your scanner and allow you to create a PDF from one or more files. This knowledge base article will explain how in full. The best part about using Soda PDF is that you can run the OCR (optical character recognition) engine during the scan. This means you will be able to edit the text in that PDF after it has been created. Creating the PDF from your scanner is completely free, but the OCR engine is a premium feature.
