Then select an existing document for copying or “New Document”.

Uploading PDF documents to a PC
You can transfer your saved documents to your PC as PDF files, using a USB cable:
1. Open App Settings TurboScan's main menu. Select “Document storage.” Tap the “Generate PDFs” button. Some free disk space is required. (Note that to save memory, TurboScan does not normally store PDF files.)
2. Mac users only: install Android File Transfer from www.android.com/filetransfer.
3. Connect the device to your Mac or PC.
4. Copy PDF files from the device’s TurboScan/PDF folder to your computer (Mac users may need
to do it via the File Transfer program).
Note that the temporary
PDF files will be automatically removed when you scan your next document (to
save memory.)
Documents transfer and backup
You can transfer your
stored documents to your PC (to back them up) by copying the TurboScan/JPEG folder (in similar fashion as above). Copy
the folder back to this or other Android device to restore the scans in TurboScan.
To transfer scans from TurboScan on your iPhone/iPad to your Android device, first upload the TurboScan’s JPEG folder to your PC using the iTunes program File Share function (see TurboScan on iPhone Help). Then copy the folder back to TurboScan folder on your Android device.
