Question

How do I scan a document and attach it to an email?

Community Answer

Upload the image from your scanner, then save it as a .jpeg or .png, or whichever format you prefer. Now you can attach it to your email by clicking "Attach" or "Send Attachment."

Question

Why doesn't my PDF file show up when I am searching for it to attach it to my email?

Community Answer

Make sure "all files" is selected in the drop-down below the file name bar, otherwise PDFs might get filtered out. Also make sure you're looking for the file in the same place you saved it. You can try resaving it in a different location, e.g., your desktop, and see if you can find it then.

Question

I scanned a document but when I tried to attach it to an email it was rejected as too large. What can I do?

Community Answer

If you own a photo-editing software, maybe you can try cropping the image so that it is smaller and email it in multiple parts.

Question

How do I scan a result from school to an email address using my phone?

Community Answer

There are certain scanner apps you can download that let you take a picture of a document and convert it to a PDF on your phone. You could then email yourself that PDF.

Question

When I attach my scanned document (jpeg) to an email, it brings all the other pictures with it from My Pictures, even though they are in different folders. What can I do?

Community Answer

Save the file on your desktop, and then try to send it from there instead. If that does not work, place the file in the windows folder Documents and try again.
