Unless you have specialist software, I don't think you'll be able to put it into a pdf file (which I assume is what they mean by Adobe). You'll have to scan it in, and find out what formats your scanning software can save it as - let them know what you can provide. Hopefully they can work with something on your list!

Download software called openoffice. It is a free 'copycat' of Microsoft office

Scan image in & paste into impress (presentation) or draw software.

There is then a buttn where you can save as a pdf.

It is very good software actually, I love the Pdf function..

Alternatively if you send me a scanned image I will save it for you but I can't guaratee to do it today

openoffice

Actually just re-read AMumInScotlands post.

Do they want it as a pdf or adobe photoshop file??? OpenOffice will do pdf.

However a free 'copy' of Photoshop called GIMP will do PSD (photoshop) format.

and if you don't have a scanner, take a photo of the picture and upload that from your camera (assuming you have a digital camera, of course.)

You need a scanner, which is not something you can just download! it's a piece of hardware that will upload things you have on paper onto the computer. Depending on the quality of the upload and the speed of the process, prices can vary accordingly.

Once you have it on a computer, launch adobe (Which product are you using? illustrator? Photoshop? Acrobat?) and, depending on the software, click on File>>open, or import, or something like that.

most scanners make life easier than all of the above...

Before you hit the scan button change the setting for the file type.. set this to pdf et voila.. you will scan the documents straight into Adobe format

If all fails scan it as a jpg file and then use a free tool such as PDFCreator to turn it into a Adobe file
