Digital File Format

GrandScan's document imaging process converts scanned paper files into Adobe PDF files. Other file formats are also available. Our customized service includes consultation to ensure your particular business needs are best served.

Most of our clients choose PDF format because the Federal and State governments recognize it as a de facto standard in electronic document formats and therefore as an acceptable alternative to paper files. Legally recognized by all Federal and State court systems, electronic files archived in PDF format are easily viewed with the freely distributed Adobe Acrobat Reader and are compatible with most computer systems and browsers.
