    Accessing Your PDF

    Your newly digitised file will be sent to your Essex account as a PDF.

    Now you can open, edit or annotate it with a PDF editor such as Adobe Reader.

    You can also copy the text into Word and edit there. You can save the file to your OneDrive which allows you to access it from multiple devices and share or collaborate with colleagues.

    Don’t forget, the search function either - search within your PDF in nanoseconds, without the need to read through a pile of papers.
