In today’s society, families accumulate a vast variety of documents—from tax records and medical files to financial papers and furniture assembly instructions. Managing these documents can often be inconvenient. With advances in technology, digitizing documents has become a convenient and efficient solution.

By converting family documents into digital format, you not only save space but also make document management more organized. This article will introduce how to use the Scan to PDF mobile app to easily organize family documents and explore the many benefits of digitization.


Preparation


1. Choose and Install a Suitable App:

I use the "PDF Scanner and PDF Reader App." If you're an iOS user, the built-in "Files" app on iPad or iPhone also works for scanning documents.


The PDF scanner supports multi-page scanning and history management features, making it perfect for storing frequently used family documents. For important documents, you can enable password protection.


2. Capture Documents

Open the app and place the document on a flat surface. Use the scanner to capture the document.




3. Edit and Save

After scanning, you can edit the document by cropping, adjusting angles, or converting it to black and white

Once you're satisfied with the adjustments, you can choose "Continue Scanning" to capture more documents or click "Finish" and save the file in PDF format.



4. Customize File Name

Once the scan is complete, you can customize the file name according to your needs, making it easier to find and manage later.



5. Password Protection

All scanned files are automatically saved in the history section, allowing you to access them anytime without worrying about data loss. To protect important family documents, TahoePDF Scanner offers a password protection feature. Simply select the option to set a password when saving the document, ensuring security and preventing unauthorized access.
