    Depending on your scanning device, you could use a web API in Appian to directly send the PDF file to Appian.

    To clarify your response regarding this solution, does it depend on the type of scanning device? Are you indicating that a specific type of scanner must be available? Additionally, after the API is developed, what are the subsequent steps from the client side, particularly concerning the scanner? I am having difficulty envisioning the next steps; could you please assist me?

    You need a scanner that can directly send a scanned document to a web API. If that is available, then you just need to configure the developed API in the scanner.
