Hello,

We have 2 HP7740 printers.

On both when I scan a document to USB the PDF files are corrupt.  

I have tried to open the PDF file on multiple Windows PCs with the same result.

What is the solution to successfully scanning a PDF file to USB?

@ultra_geoff

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Have you tried scanning different documents to check if the issue persists or is it only with this specific document?

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor: Follow steps from the link: Click here
 

Alternatively, install HP Scan extended on the PC. Click here to download the file.

Once it's downloaded and installed, go to Start > All Programs > HP > HP Scan Extended > Run "HP Scan Extended"

Try scanning.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
