How to save pdf file in local drive in office lens

[R2bir]

I want to save document scan by office lens in pdf format file in local drive instead of onedrive or onenote. Just save pdf on local device folder

If I'm not mistaken, you could try opening the files from within office lens. It probably will open in Edge, after such you can "save as" to wherever local folder you choose.

Hope it works..

Thanks ray. I tried whether I import jpeg file or pdf file from local drive to open in office lens or create a new file in office lens when I try to save it as pdf or word format it will not save in local drive. It wants me to save in onenote or onedrive online but not in local drive. But I want to take pic of document with office lens and save file in pdf format on my local drive without going online. Hoping for a solution.

Ok.. Let's do this ..
A screenshot of the picture I want to take with the office lens app


.

The actual shot




Saving the shot as both Jpeg and PDF formats


After saving the two formats, go to tap on the Pdf version of the shot

.
It should open in Edge browser. The file itself is actually stored in the system folder

.
Look for and press the three dots (bottom right of screen), it should bring up the menu for you to save the pdf to a location of your choice, including locally.
