Ah, the joys of tech, right? You want to scan straight to your computer without needing to juggle an iPhone you don’t even own—totally understandable! 😅 Well, no worries; you don’t need that iPhone to get things done. You can absolutely scan to a PDF directly on your computer! 🙌

 

Just download the HP Smart app for your computer, and you’ll be able to easily scan documents and save them as PDFs. It’s pretty straightforward and doesn't require any fancy phone tricks. Give it a try, and you'll be scanning like a pro in no time!

How do I install an HP Smart app on my computer?   I thought Apps only went on cell phones. This was not helpful.

Hey @methuseleh,

 

Yes, you can definitely download the HP Smart app on your computer as well! It's available for both Windows and Mac. Just visit the Microsoft Store (for Windows) or the Mac App Store (for Mac) to download and install it

 

Also, you can download the HP Smart from this link: HP Smart
