HP ENVY 5530 - How do I can scan multiple pages into 1 pdf?

[Bert1]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to scan multiple pages into the same pdf document.  Currently I can only 1 page per pdf which is not great for large docs.  I have a HP ENVY 5530 and am running windows 7.

Many thanks in advance,

I see that you are having some issues when attempting to scan multiple pages into one file.

I hope this helps with your issue.  If by chance you do require any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to write me back. I am always happy to help.

The information from the link you provided was of no use.

Is the HP ENVY 5530 a "full function" device?

There is no "+" anywhere on the dialog.

Can you research further?

Hello zeusbp,

You stated that the information I provided was of no help.  So I can better assist you, please respond with which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?

When you attempt to scan to your computer, are you attempting to do it from the front panel of the printer?

Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

If you missed this there is indeed no + sign.

 note:

Scanning additional pages is supported at 300 dpi or lower.

But it is really weird you have to scan in a lower quality to get more pages in a pdf

Have to agree with the other person who posted.  Your link takes you to a general page on HP's website; it does not redirect to anything specific so when you say "Once you have the document open, please scroll through the list until you see the portion that deals with scanning multiple pages into one file" - please explain how you get to this point from the very general page/URL you supplied.

Hi, I just had a similar problem, trying to scan multiple pages into one pdf on my HP ENVY 5530 from my Windows 7 laptop. I couldn't see the "+" window to add another scanned page after the first scan. After a few failed attempts I noticed that if I chose a resolution of less than 600dpi the "+" window appeared. Perhaps this is a bug in my version of the app, but if I want to scan multiple pages into one pdf (document to file), I need to select a lower resolution than 600. 300dpi works fine. Hope that helps!
