Hello, I love using Scanpro with my iPhone or iPad to quickly take a picture of a document and transfers it to PDF. I would like to be able to do the same thing with my MBPr...is there such an app for Mac OS ?

OS X is PDF based. Open a picture and push print, on the lower left, there are PDF options.
 
Thanks Rico,

I was hoping for something that would do it seamlessly. What do you suggest I use for the picture? Photo Booth?
 
You mean scan a document? I suppose you could hold it up to your laptop's camera, but I imagine you wouldn't get a very good result. Best is to use a scanner; there are tons that work with Macs. Or your phone and just send it to your laptop if that's what you need to do.
 
The built-in iSight cameras aren't very good for that sort of thing. They're limited to 1280x1024 too. Just sync your scans to a Dropbox or something.
