In the past, if we wanted to save the document in the form of a scanned file, you needed to print the editable PDF file as a paper document and scan it into an electronic draft with a scanner - which isn’t environmentally friendly and rather troublesome.

Now, however, we only need a professional PDF tool to help instantly turn paper documents into electronic scans, with merely a couple of clicks!

SwifDoo PDF is a 10 MB software that doesn’t require too much disk space. Meanwhile, it integrates powerful and useful functions, making it a desirable office software. Following are the steps for creating scanned copies:

  1. Launch SwifDoo PDF and click the “Advanced” button;
  2. When the SwifDoo PDF Converter window pops up, select “Add Files” to upload the specified document to the operation console from the local folder;
  3. Click the “Start” button after successfully uploading the file. When the conversion is completed, click the converted document to see if it meets the demands.
