What is paper scanning?

Paper scanning is the process of converting physical paper documents into digital formats using a scanner or similar device. This process allows for easier storage, retrieval, and sharing of documents, reducing the need for physical space and improving document security. Scanned documents can be saved as PDF, JPEG, or other digital file formats, and can often be organized or searched with the help of document management software. Paper scanning is widely used in offices, libraries, and organizations to digitize records and streamline workflows.
