Scan API to PDF

Hi, I am developing a Windows store App targeting Windows 8.1, and the app needs to scan into a PDF file.
I have a WIA compatible scanner that works well, and I can scan with the API into JPG or BMP images.

I want to pack into a PDF these scans, and I wouldn't buy any third part component.
My scanner is not Preview supported so I can't use the API method ScanPreviewToStreamAsync to scan into a stream.

What should I do?

You can scan directly to a file with ScanFilesToFolderAsync | scanFilesToFolderAsync method. You can choose PDF in the ImageScanner.AutoConfiguration.Format | format property .

If the problem is that your setup doesn't support PDF then you'd need to change your setup or convert to PDF from the JPGs or BMPs that you can capture. There is no built-in support for that so you'd need a third party component.
