pdf or jpeg?

Tweet

This may sound strange, but when you scan something in to e-mail to someone, do you scan it as a pdf or jpeg file? It seems that so many people I work with scan things as jpeg (picture) and not pdf. I think that it's easier for a person to receive a pdf file than a jpeg file. Unless it's a picture, of course, then it should be a jpeg. But if it's a document (which at work it usually is) than it's so much easier to view and print or save if it's a pdf. I mean, that's universal, while some jpeg programs scale the pictures differently and they sometimes won't print correctly. Every scanner I've ever used has had the capability to save as pdf, so I'm pretty sure it's available to people. So, which do you use? I always save things as pdf, unless it is actually a picture (and sometimes I still use pdf).
