What if I don’t have a digital copy? Make one!
◦I prefer to use TinyScan Pro. If you prefer not to pay for your app, there is a free version of TinyScan in the app store.
◦The app allows to you snap photos of documents and email them to yourself or save them to Google Drive. Save the file to you computer as a PDF.
