Everything I scan at work needs to be saved as PDF files. I recently had to switch my computer temporarily to a dell laptop, and I have to change the file type to PDF every time I scan with HP Smart. On my old computer, HP Smart defaulted to PDF files, but I can't find a way to change the settings in the app. How can I change the default format?
