Pixma MX 492- Save scanned document as PDF Windows 8.1

[richard7893]

Hello

I have a Windows 8.1 installed on my computer, with MX492 drivers installed for printing and scanning.

I have on issue in that when I want to scan a document there is no way to save it as a PDF. The only file formats available to save as are: jpg, bmp, tif, png. I have a screen shot and circled the area I am describing. I know there is the Canon Utility to scan and save as a pdf, but I like to use this simpler interface shown in the picture. Is there a way to save as pdf in going this route? The layout shown in the picture is similar to what is on my Mac, but the Mac computer is able to give the option to save as a pdf. Any help would be appreciated
