Working remotely or from home and you need to scan a document to email someone?

Here is a little tip to enable you to scan documents easily, using your iphone or ipad and the Apple Notes App.

You can even sign the scanned document or other images or a pdf using your iphone or ipad, if that is needed, using ‘Mark Up’ in the Mail App.

The steps are:

 Open the ‘Notes app’

Open a note or create a new note.  E.g. Working From Home

Press the camera button

Select the option to ‘scan a document’

Once the document is scanned you can then email it.

To sign an image or pdf, follow the steps shown in this video

 

There are a range of other options to help scan documents, we would love to hear them.  Please add them in the comments section below.
