Scanning help req

[SURYADEV]

I have a poster - just about larger than A3, that I want to scan . It has tiny detailed Panjabi writing on it, so must come out clear. I was thinking perhaps formatting it as a pdf document because it allows you to really zoom in to read the tiny writing.

Any advice on how it can be done or where? I am in West London at the mo. Maybe if one of the local forum members want to take up the task???

Then I want to get it uploaded to this site for others to view.

I cant mail it or give to anyone as if it gets lost/destroyed I wont be able to get another copy.

PS: Just to pique your curiosity: it is a family tree of (I think) the nirmala samparda lineage of sadhus,sants, mahants, shish etc from the gurus times to more or less contemporary period. It contains hundreds of names!

Try 'prontaprint' or similar places - there's one in Hayes, Hounslow and several in Central London. Or if you have a scanner, just scan it in 2 parts.

use a camera put the poster on the wall, and use a tripod

photograph the whole thing, and then put it together in photoshop

Fold in half do A4 and another A4 using something like paint and join it to 1 pic file if you want it as a pdf use cutePDF creator to convert the image then into a PDF. Otherwise your going to have to take it to a printing shop they can scan it in for you. loads of printing shops all around. Borrow a mates scanner if you dont have 1, scanners go very cheap these days always good for coursework and homework get 1.
