Did you read all the replies?  I posted one that worked for several people already.

I cannot seem to find a way to convert all my scanned photos into JPGs.  My scanner seems to produce photos in PDF mode only. Any advice is very much welcomed. Thank you

You can't change from pdf to jpeg after they've been scanned.  You need to change the settings before you scan it.

Go into Control Center 3 or 4, whichever you have installed.

On the Tab at the top, Go to Device Settings

Click on Device Settings Below

Under the Image Tab, change your file type from pdf to JPEG.

Set the resolution to your desired resolution (the higher the dpi, the better, but creates a larger file).  300 is default.

Change the Scan Type to Color if you want a color picture

Click OK

Then Scan it and your scan will be a photo (JPEG).

Thanks for reaching out to HP Support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips .

I see that you are having issues while scanning using your Deskjet printer. Let’s try the steps below to try and fix the issue:

• Unplug the USB cable from the printer and computer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Deskjet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Restart your computer.
• Now click on HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads to download and install the printer drivers.
• Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
• Restart both the printer & computer and then try to scan and check.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance.

Cheers
