Probably the most off the wall choice in this thread, but I say HP Scan and Capture:

It's a Metro app for Windows 8.1 and up to scan with HP scanners. I love it because it just works, which has never been my experience with scanning[0]. You press a button, it scans whatever's on the tray. You can tweak resolution if you want. And at the end you save it as a PDF. Simplicity is something that I think tends to be forgotten when it comes to GUI software.
