    How to save SANE acquired image(s) to a PDF document?
    In This Topic
    SANE acquired image can be saved to a new PDF document or added to an existing PDF document.

    Here is an example that demonstrates how to acquire images from SANE device and save images to a PDF document:
    /// <summary>
    /// Acquires images from SANE device and saves images to a PDF file.
    /// </summary>
    public void AcquireImagesFromSaneDeviceAndSaveImagesToPdfFile()
    {
        // create SANE device manager
        using (Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceManager deviceManager = new Vintasoft.Sane.SaneLocalDeviceManager())
        {
            // open SANE device manager
            deviceManager.Open();
    
            // get count of SANE devices
            int deviceCount = deviceManager.Devices.Count;
            if (deviceCount == 0)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Devices are not found.");
                return;
            }
