If I scan / download music scores I'd like to turn them into PDF to enable me to read them on a Kindle. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. norman |

I do this with my Harmony Assistant scores. Select "Print" and then, when the Print menu appears, select PDF. |

I'll certainly check out the scanner - maybe if I used it more I'd have known! I know there is a "save as pdf" option for Word docs, under print. I guess most of the pdf convertors are for pdf back to an amendable format. |

The quality and size of pdf created from scans are related - large files for good quality - and almost all create pdfs of images. I have a presentation certificate which gives a print pdf of 170KB and a scanned pdf of 1.3MB Phil |
