I only use two kinds of resources to convert files to PDF.

One is to convert MS office to PDF, Word, Excel, PPT are all in supports.

Another one is mainly to convert images to PDF, it supports JPEG, bitmap and GIF and so on.

And both can be easily found on google.

Hope my answer can help you.

(Is) there a way in Method to scan and convert an existing document into an editable pdf

Off the top of my head I have to say no on this. Not within Method but there is definitely third party software available to scan and convert a pdf to editable.

Scan and Convert to PDF...to Report?

I am currently re-creating some of our paperwork in Report Designer while I see if anyone has a more efficient way to accomplish this task...

We need to be able to print some of our documents with a few fields 'filled-in' - like a report - that others can initial, etc.

My boss is wondering if there is a way in Method to scan and convert an existing document into an editable pdf...to be used like a report.
I told him I would ask.

I'll keep working on re-creating the docs unless one of you brilliant Method users enlightens me.

Thanks,
Garrett
