I use AHMI to store the data into a SQLite db and read it with Crystal Report to make the report and export/e-mail , works pretty good ! I don't use img but there's certainly a way to do this..!

If you install CutePDF Writer as a printer then you could use any program to create a report and then save it as a pdf file:

Is it needed with windows 10 and its default "Microsoft Print to PDF"  printer?

One cool thing with Office 365, if you right click a scanned PDF file and open it with Word 365, it will OCR convert  to DOC format automatically.

They appear to provide identical functionality, so my answer would be "No".
