HPOfficejet Pro 8600 e-All-In-One Printer - 911a
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Community: Need help with HPOfficejet Pro 8600 e All-In-One Printer - N911a locating .pdf's on the import scan function.  It seems the scanner is set up to locate All files (*.bmp;*.png;*jpeg;*jpg), but not .pdf.

How can I add .pdf's to this list?

If you are referring to HP Smart for Windows,

the "Import" function, called from "Scan" only supports images / photos.

 

If you have previously scanned a document and saved that document as PDF file, you can select to Print the file.

 

Example

 

HP_Smart_W10_Start_Screen_2HP_Smart_W10_Start_Screen_2

 

HP_Smart_W10_Scan_Document_Screen_1HP_Smart_W10_Scan_Document_Screen_1
