Office Lens is the answer, free from microsoft for iOS, Android, and Windows, brilliant and uploads to Onenote, which then enables search on the scanned text, awesome.

You're missing out, Scanbot does all that plus integrates with more storage options on the free version. The deal breaker for me over OL was the option for multiple pages

Very true, apologies to Frances .

if you're going to be picky he spelt sheer wrong as well.

The worst bit is I sort of knew at the time and did not go back to correct it

Well you have just won your CUK "Blue Peter" badge.

I'm glad you found all the help so useful



Indeed, he gets extra points for the shear honesty

Next time just convert it to PDF and use Acrobat to apply your sig and send it back, no need to print and scan.

Microsoft Surface with a Surface pen allows you to sign most documents directly on the screen.

Yup, been doing it on an iPad for a few years.

OK, I bit the bait and read on.

I have my signature scanned as an image, which I can add to any PDF using Adobe Acrobat DC

I do want to be awkward because legally I don't think I need to complete the form in the first place and secondly I can't be bothered printing, signing and scanning the form. I know I'm being pedantic but I'd like some advice on what to do and please don't say just print, sign, scan and email the darn form!

So you were invoicing for the time you took to faff around and do it? Sounds like a win / win situation.

...and got to learn a new skill which can go on the CV for the next contract, with associated uplift on the daily rate.

OK OK OK I've printed, signed, scanned and emailed the blimmin thing.

I had to get over the embarrassment of working out how to scan it back in, (where to insert) while working in the IT department of a large printer/scanner manufacturer. After the whole office taking the P out of me, I've managed to do it.

You all helped me through it, I couldn't have done it without you all. I want to thank my parents, my family and most of all, God.

Without trying to go off track, there's Scanbot as well. Tried Camscanner but thought Scanbot worked better. I even bought the paid version, the only app I've ever bought

Camscanner?

Is that an app over and above just using the phone to take a photo?
Not sure how many documents I've submitted where, if you look carefully, my carpet is around the edges.

It's quite handy actually. It does a reasonably good job of detecting the document edges and cropping/skewing it so it's all straight, then save and email as a PDF.

[WTFH]

And if you don't have a scanner, Camscanner will do the same thing on your phone.
