How can you create a PDF document on a Mac?

How do you scan a document and save it as a PDF on a Mac? If you don’t have a printer/scanner/copier to scan with, take as many pictures of the document as you need to in an ambiently well-lit (not harshly-lit) area, and open them in an image editor (Online Pdf Annotator Illustrator or Photoshop can certainly do it but there are may less-expensive independent applications that can do it as well) that can save into a PDF. Pages should be shot as squarely as possible — without perspective. Immediately after scanning/shooting, do your best to optimize the scan — adjust exposure level, increase contrast, brightness, white and black levels, etc. White paper should be white and black type should be black. If you need to make a multi-page PDF booklet, you’ll need Online Pdf Annotator to pull all the pages into one file. If all you have is a phone, you can use a scanner app to photograph your pages. These probably won’t let you save out as a PDF, but you can save it as a .PNG or .JPG file. There are other converter apps which will save these out as individual .PDF files for you.
