Why do you need to scan a document to PDF format?
The PDF is the most versatile file format that works seamlessly with Fax.Live. A number of programs can read PDFs, including browsers (Chrome, Firefox), Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, Adobe programs, and built-in readers like Apple Preview. PDFs are the best way to preserve the original appearance of a document. You can learn more about portable document format from PDF.Live’s guide to PDFs. When you try to upload anything other than a PDF, Fax.Live will give you an “Invalid file type” message.
How much does it cost to scan a paper into a PDF?
DocScan offers limited free scans. For power users who have a lot of pages to scan, they offer reasonable subscription prices that can be paid and managed through the app store. For the latest pricing, visit DocScan.

Because you are scanning hard copies of documents, it doesn’t matter if they are pages of text, photographs or a mix of both. As long as you have the DocScan app, a working iPhone camera and good lighting, you should be able to capture high-quality PDFs.
