after ensuring you are in the folder where the .csproj file is located.
Assuming you are scanning a three-page document, the output will be similar to that shown in Figure 4. At the end of the process, you will find three JPEG files and doc.pdf in the project folder, representing the conversion of the scanned pages into a single PDF.

Conclusion
Although not a production sample, this code demonstrates how to build a document-scanning and PDF export utility. It efficiently integrates scanning, image processing, and file export into a seamless workflow, providing a foundation on which you can expand for more complex applications, such as adding OCR or scanner sharing.
