on computers there are programs such as 'dopdf' i don't know if there is anyway to do it directly on the phone.

I personally use one of the following computer apps available in my computer, such as Adobe Acrobat Pro. Most of these programs, you can simply right-click the file(s) and convert to PDF, as needed.

Otherwise, there are tons of online sites that can convert for you as well.

There is a great document scanning app called Genius Scan+ that ces1948 told us about. I downloaded it and I love it. I can take a photo of a receipt or document (that will be a pdf) with my cell phone camera and e-mail it to myself or send it to drop box and probably other things I haven't figured out yet. I downloaded it free from the Amazon store. I like it.

On my Android, after I select the picture in the gallery, I can select print and then choose to save it to a PDF. I am not sure if this is based upon an App I had downloaded or if it is native. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4.

I have shopped for Service Sleuth several times. I always send all my pics jpeg. Are you sure of this?

Arch is right on this. Although Service Sleuth seems to give a little leniency and does acceept jpegs, the guidelines for all the shops I have performed for them say they require pdfs.

On their report forms, next to the Receipt Upload, it says:

"Receipt Upload: Please upload your receipt in
PDF format here. If you have any questions on
how to convert a file to PDF format, please click
on the link below for assistance with this
process. [www.hsbrands.com]
pdf/"

AustinMom, shopper8 – The PDF requirement for the POV's for Service Sleuth shops are dependent on the client. I've performed shops that had the PDF requirement, but also shops that did not state a PDF requirement.

Personally, I like to keep the any pics in JPG, as this is viewed on your copy of the shop that you downloaded after submitting it on SASSIE.

I use windows 8 and have found that smallpdf.com is the easiest to use for me.

If you have Microsoft Office juts open the picture in Word and you can save it as a PDF through there.

Cam Scanner scans/takes a picture, can automatically crop and will send to Dropbox or email in JPG or PDF. It can do multi-page pdfs too, if you have a brochure to upload for example. I tried Genius Scan when it was free on Google Play store, but I couldn't get it to "scan" my ID. Kept making it a bad black and white scan.

Cam Scanner is great on my phone, I use cutepdfwriter on my computer. Both are free downloads and work great.

I second the camScanner app! Great app, very easy to change to pdf or jpg and either email yourself or send to Dropbox.

Have been using camScanner for about three years now. Works great. I even take the shots at the counter for per diem expenses I say if they ask. On the PC I use Foxit reader. Foxit will not let me save anything that I have modified now and its starting to tick me off. Might have to try Cutepdf.

I have a printer/scanner, so I can scan as pdf or jpg easily. However, if it were me, I'd open Publisher, put the picture in, then save as a pdf. I'd at least try that first for easy conversion.

Cute PDF does work well for saving things as a pdf. You select Cute PDF instead of your printer when printing and you can save it. You can also separate out pages from a long pdf document to be saved seperately. I have had to do ths for revealed audits where I am required to send information to the person I'm meeting with and their paperwork is included in my guidelines.

I JUST upgraded to a new Android phone not even 48 hours ago so I haven't had a chance to d/load any apps yet. I tried this ^ and it worked. Thanks Jwolpert.

There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

I admit thgat I was skeptical when I just read your message. I have had my Samsung S4 for quite awhile, and had never seen a print option. Maybe it came when it upgraded to the latest version (Lollipop 5.0) two weeks ago. The bottom line is that it is there. A print option, and then I can save it as a PDF file. I have been doing that using CutePDF on my PC. BTW, CutePDF is a great program.

If the phone will already do it that's one less app on your phone. Means more cat videos or whatever you are into.
