Hi @SanjaySota
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
I understand your concern about scanning a two-sided document and saving it as a PDF , don’t worry let me check and help you with this.
Could you kindly let me know:
- Are you trying to scan from the printer control panel or from your computer?
- Are you using the HP App or another scanning application?
- When you scan, does it save only one side, or are the pages scanned separately instead of into a single PDF?
In the meantime, kindly try the following:
- Open the HP App on your computer.
- Select Scan and then choose Scanner.
- Place the document in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) if your printer supports automatic duplex scanning.
- In the scan settings, look for options such as:
- Two-sided / Duplex Scan
- Scan both sides
- Combine pages into one PDF
- Start the scan and save the file as PDF.
You can also refer to HP's guide for scanning documents using HP App : HP Smart - Scan documents and photos: Click here
In most cases, this depends on whether the printer and scanning software are configured for duplex (two-sided) scanning. If the duplex option is not enabled, the scanner may capture only one side at a time or save pages separately. Verifying the scan settings and the scanning method being used will help determine the correct solution.
I hope this helps.
I'm an HP Employee.
