Am I going nuts (or just ga-ga)?

I shall print out a form and do it by hand as advised, if I can get my scanner working I could still email it in.

Not sure what kind of phone (if any) you have Dave but I've not used my scanner in ages, a photo of an A4 doc comes through more than good enough for legibility purposes.

Good enough perhaps Drew but my colour scanner does not 'shake' or screw the geometry. I reckon I could do better with a proper camera than a phone?

I use 'Genius Scan' app on the iPad to scan, PDF and email receipts etc. Very painless once set up and understood - and it allows you to correct wonky perspectives. Also available on Android.

Maybe you could take a picture with your phone and send that?

You don't GET "wonky perspectives with a scanner! Geez! Talk about re inventing the wheel!

Dave, you raised the concern about screwing the perspective with a phone, I’m just letting you know that the app can deal with it and, as Drew says, with plenty of resolution to be readable. I use it because I can’t take a scanner on the train, and also because it’s a lot easier even when I am in the office or at home. But if you can get your scanner working, carry on with what you like and know.

Click on the button, click on the field, and type away.

(This is assuming that the form has been created with fields, but it probably has.)

I can neither confirm nor deny that's what I was thinking

You haven’t even reached the bottom slopes of cranky-hood yet Dave, I bought a beer from the local corner shop, threw the car keys on the back seat, and tried to start the car with the beer can.

It’s not good, more of these types of things are happening, it’s bad.
