Help! I have this paper document and I need to convert it into a PDF.

By Colin Davitt
Copy Center

Issue
Sometimes you have this one paper document laying around that you need to quickly send to copy center. Sending over the paper is possible but that takes time. Why not just use your phone to scan and send?

How
Open the Google Drive app on your device.

Click the plus in the lower right corner.

Click on the Scan icon.


Line up the document you want to scan.
Click the blue circle at the bottom.

This image looks amazing.
Click the check to save it.


Open Drive.
Open Recent.
Click the file you just scanned.

Click the ice cream cone. (3 dots in the upper right)
Click Send file...


Click Gmail.
Send your new PDF to the copy center.

NOTE!
email subject line: Copy Job for YOUR NAME
body of email: describe what you want. Make 75 copies of attached file on white paper. 2 sided. Stapled. 

Make sure you have an email signature so the copy center can call if there are issues/questions with your job.

WHY It is always nice to put a face with a name. Sometimes we need a tiny little reminder of what someone looks like because we don't see them very often. Follow these steps to add/change the image associated with your Google account. HOW Open your email. Click your image. It might just be a blue circle if you have not added something already. Click Change . Find an image you like. Your amazing new image will appear. From now on everyone can put a name to a face!
