Product: HP Officejet 4650
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

On the scan 'page in the HP Printer Assistant" there is no option to scan as a word document. There is only PDF, JPEG, OCR.  The OCR and "everyday scan' don't seem to convert very well to word. As far as I can tell, to convert from a PDF to a Word document, I have to download and pay for an Adobe program.  On my old printer, I had the option to scan as a document.  I don't feel I should have to pay for another program or download another program to scan a document, save it and work on it.

 

Suggestions please? Thanks much!
