    I have to scan papers into a PDF file for an email. I was just wondering if anyone knows where there's a scanner floating around to do so.

    In the IT Help Centre in the Daedalus building, there's a normal UCD PC with a scanner attached - that's probably your best bet. The standard scanning software creates BMP bitmap files (uncompressed graphics). I think you can use something like Adobe InDesign to create a PDF. Or you can insert them in to a Word or PowerPoint document and save to PDF from there, which I've successfully done before.

    They bring it to you—free.
