How do I scan multiple documents through the feeder and save directly as a PDF in one document

[kdub333]

How do I scan multiple documents through the feeder and save directly as a PDF in one document that I can email without Google and Outlook telling me the file is too large? The scan through the feeder is only giving me ways to save it as a picture and when I convert it to PDF via print and save as PDF the file is then too large to email. 

Thanks

Welcome to HP support community.

1. Check the following requirements for multi-page scanning into one PDF file:

   • To save multiple photos into one file, you must use the PDF document-related shortcuts.

   • Use a resolution setting of 300 DPI or lower.

2. Search Windows for HP, and then select your printer.

   HP Printer Assistant opens.

3. Click Scan, and then click Scan a Document or Photo.

   HP Scan opens.

4. In HP Scan, select the Save as PDF or Document to File shortcut.

   • If you scanned multiple pages from the ADF, click Save. All pages save into a single file.

   • If you scanned from the scanner glass, load the next page or photo on the glass. Click the plus button  or  in the HP Scan preview window to scan the next item. Repeat this step until all pages or photos are scanned, and then click Save.

5. Select PDF in the Save as type menu.

6. Change the file name and the folder you want to save the scan to, and then click Save.

Thank you, it already saved to a jpeg. How do I convert those files into PDF and single file?

There is no option in the printer software to convert JPEG files to PDF.

If you have Adobe Acrobat DC (or Pro), you can use that to combine files and save a single pdf.

If you don't have these Adobe software, and you have Windows 10, you can try the Windows 10 save PDF:  just select these jpeg files in file explorer, and then "print", and select "Adobe PDF" as the printer, and create a pdf file.
