Most scanners will scan to pdf. Our machine at work does at least.Check your drivers and software that came with the scanner.

Oh, just scan it, then open and do as you are going to print it, but instead of printing it select the PDF program you have installed. IIrc this should work.

yeah, i was asking for a program but it looks like cutepdf is gonna do it for me, it installed itself as a printer. i just have to re-download the scan drivers from HP and i'll be good to gothx everyone, feel free to kill this thread

It might won't put a watermark on whatever PDF you make. I know Fox-it does put one on there.

I use PDF995. has two parts you have to install. No watermarks and you can PDF any sheet size up to D or E. They have two versions: Of course the one you pay for, and then there's the "sponsored" version that spawns a popup every time you use it...a very insignificant issue for a good package.It installs as a virtual printer...so select scan to print, and it generates the PDF.
