I don't own stock in HP so if sales increase I will not enjoy any additional advantage.
As for output going directly to PDF I am not sure. I had already installed a full copy of Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional on the machine before I hooked up the printer so I am not sure if the capability is native to the HP provided software or available simply because I had already installed Acrobat.
The software uses TIF as the native graphic format for the saved scans so it should be easy for most othe programs to pick up these formats and create a PDF from them.
