Scanned files

[dhartwick]

Is it possible on my HP Envy 4520 AIO printer to scan documents so that the file will be a PDF file? I don't see that option in settings. Thanks

Welcome to the HP Community --

There are several scan methods that should allow you to select the scan content type.

A precise answer would require that we understand more of what you are doing --

Type of Device: computer, tablet, phone

The Operating System / version

and

Which application or software you are using

Examples - 

The basics - Scan at the printer

What about...

HP Smart (application) and a Full Driver printer software package are both available for Windows.

Download and install the HP Smart application.

For Windows, the app is available from the Microsoft Store

Menu

HP_Smart_W_Menu_1

and

Full Feature Software / Full Driver  -- Web Page
