    I like that idea of creating a PDF. And of course, it could be printed
    off as needed. I have a weekend project now.

    There are some pretty nice scanning tools out there now - my Canon
    inkjet has a scanner and a paper feeder, I swear by that. All of our
    printers in the offices scan *very* quickly - and there's a Microsoft
    and Google PDF scanner for Android I've played with.

    What I can't stand are Adobe PDF products - expensive, hard to manage,
    and they all want to save to Adobe Cloud, which we don't use. I'm in
    the market for a small, lightweight PDF editor.

    Good to know, I'm getting pricing for them now. Adobe is raising their
    prices 12% at the conclusion of my term this year.

    I had a problem in 2022 with an Adobe created PDF I received with a virus in i. I updated my antivirus detection and it said the PDF still had a virus in it. I sent the PDF to Adobe to analyze and never heard back from them. I used another PDF viewing program and all was well. I have been hesistant to go back to
    Adobe for viewers/creators.
