I just purchased a 2540 all-in-one, and am trying to scan several pages of a document and create a multi-page pdf. After I scan a page, I am asked if I am done, or to save the document, or cancel. Although I have unchecked the box in advanced settings to create a separate document for each scanned page, I am thus far unable to figure out how to scan multiple pages and create a multi-page document.

Ok,

From the HP Scan Sodtware selet either PDF or TIF.

Be sure to check the Show Preview checkbox and set the DPI as 300 or lower.


Then use the Add Pages button to scan additional pages and save the scan once you are done

See the response posted by Schlomil on 11-25-13 -- it solved the problem for me.  (For starters, it's important to make sure you don't have the resolution set at too high a number.)
