Tech Tip: Contactless copies |
At a Library Directors' Zoom meeting this week I heard advice for patrons with documents to copy, if they are not able to enter the library building or don't want their papers touched by others:
On phones and some other devices with cameras, the Adobe Scan app enables you to make a pdf image of a document. This can then be emailed to your library staff or sent to the library's wireless printer from outside, for contactless printing (or just email it to whoever needs the copy).
|
|
Another tip: if you have a webpage, photo, or computer document to save or send, use the PRINT options to convert to a pdf that is easy to save or send, and which cannot be changed by the recipient.
When you choose "print", look to see if there is an option to "save as pdf", "print to pdf", or perhaps you have installed "doPdf", which is free and will show as a "printer".
Select that as your "printer" and then "print" (or it may say "save") and you will be given a chance to name the file and to save it.
You can even do this for important emails you want to save. Simply "print" as a pdf.
