Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.
WinScan2PDF is a very small (~40k) and portable program that allows you to scan documents and save them on your computer as a PDF by using any installed scanner.

Sure.
We have some similar applications in the database. Unlike STP and Scan2PDF, WinScan2PDF works on Windows 7 (even onx64). In addition, it is smaller than the others.
BTW, when I scan with it, it launches an application named ScanGear, which is by Canon (I have a canon multifunction printer). I have never seen this one before because I used to scan images with Microsoft Paint. Has anyone got a Canon scanner too and can tell me whether and how I can start this application myself? I have browsed through every Canon folder I could find on my computer, but found no executable.
allclownsareevil wrote a comment that made me search for jpg files saved by WinScan2PDF. Very deeply buried in "C:\Users\u\Lokala inställningar\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Programdata\Temp\" I found ~tmp~winscan_to_pdf_2.jpg, a picture (dated 4 months ago) showing an extremely personal letter from my doctor, fortunately on my home computer. This is a very real security risk. Wouldn't it be great with a warning in the entry for WinScan2PDF?
@Kea: I've added a note to the entry but, like guinness, I think it would be best to contact the developer to alert him about the problem (http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Kontakt).
)!
But thanks for contacting the author.
