Free PDF Scanner

Free PDF Scanner is a feature-rich, yet intuitive application designed to help scan documents. All the files can be previewed on the screen, then converted directly to PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PNG.

User-friendly interface

The panel offers a modern menu, mainly composed of a preview area, two control bars, and a predominantly orange theme.
In the unregistered version, the application saves only the first 10 pages, regardless of the documents that need cutting. You can view help documentation as well as change the interface language.

Scan images and documents

The vertical bar provides the option to scan paper using a scanner. If there isn't one connected, an error message appears. A window is opened with the available scanner configuration, asking you to input a name for the device, page format and thumbnail image. Furthermore, you can switch to another interface skin, modify the image quality and define the detection threshold of blank pages.
It's possible to import one or more images, with the supported extensions, such as JPG, PNG, BMP and TIFF, as well as PDF documents.
The program detects any existing blank pages, giving you the option to remove them if unnecessary. There's also a rotation feature included, by 90 degrees right and left, or by 180 degrees.

Customize output settings for photos and docs

Using the horizontal control bar, you can tweak the thumbnails size in the preview area (e.g. 160, 320, 640, 800 px), choose the color depth, set the resolution (e.g. 100, 200, 300 dpi), as well as get rid of all empty pages with one click.
Moreover, you can digitize PDFs in simplex or duplex mode, turn on and adjust the ultrasound detection, pick between the feeder and glass. Moreover, you can enable the automatic cutting option for single pages, sheets or multiple pages, and pick the output format from JPG, PNG, TIFF or PDF.

Conclusions

To conclude, Free PDF to Scanner is a simple-to-use program, designed to offer a large variety of options for scanning images and PDFs, such as color depth, rotation and resolution functions, and automatic page cutting.
