HP Photo Envy 7855 would like to scan multiple pages from ADF and be able to save as separate pdfs

[geriler]

Hi, I have a lot of documents to scan and many are just a page or two.

I'm hoping to find a way to scan a stack of documents, using the ADF.  But I'd like to have an option to save them as separate pdfs with distinct names, NOT as a single pdf.

Is that possible?

TIA!

Hi @geriler,

I'd like to help!

I understand you would like to scan multiple pages.

Its not possible, all the pages fed to ADF when scanned will b saved as one file.

If you would like to separate them, then you must feed them separately 

Use the HP Smart app to create a PDF of a scanned document.

1. Click the Scan tile on the HP Smart app home screen.

2. Click Get Started.

   NOTE: 

   The Get Started screen displays when you select Scan, Import, or Camera for the first time.

3. Select an option from the top menu bar.

   • Scanner: Place the original on the printer scanner glass or into the automatic document feeder (ADF). Select scan job type, size, color, and resolution settings, and then click Scan in the lower right corner.

   • Import: Select photos saved on the computer to apply a boundary, and then use the settings to edit, print, and share.

   • Camera: Uses the computer camera or a webcam to capture, edit, and print or share a photo or document.

   

4. Adjust the boundaries, by clicking and dragging the blue dots, and then click Apply.

5. For multi-page documents, click + Add in the Preview window to return to the Scan window. Load the next page onto the scanner glass or capture it with the camera.

   Repeat this process until all the pages of the document are scanned.

6. Change the file name and select Basic PDF as the file type.

   

7. Click Save to save the PDF to a folder on the computer, or click Share for options to email or share the file.

I appreciate the response Jay.  But I"m disappointed that the feature is not available and hope you will escalate that to whatever team decides those things!  Surely I'm not the only one who would like to choose between scanning multi pages to one pdf or separate ones!  😃
