Scan to mutiple pdf files

[tbirduk]

I want to use the document feeder to scan multiple A4 pages to individual pdf files? But it appears the default is to scan multiple pages into a single PDF File, where is the setting to control this?

Welcome to the HP Community.

HP Scan - part of the Full Feature Software - can easily separate your scan pages into separate files.

True, the "default" is to save multiple pages as a single file.

Change the setup for the one job or change the setup and then create a Custom Shortcut to use again later.

HP Scan

Select Save to PDF

Adjust settings on main menu

Select More >

Select Destination

Open PDF + menu

Check box "Separate file for each scanned page"

Click OK to save and exit sub-menu

Check other sections

When ready, < Less

Back on the main menu, final check and Scan

Example - HP Scan - Main Menu > More > Destination

9025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_59025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_3

The full driver provides the foundation on which other programs and printing software depend.

Printer Software - Preparation

If you have not done so,

In addition to the HP Smart application,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software for the printer.

HP Smart and other print software / applications benefit from having the full driver installed.

Printer Software Check

Notes

If the full driver printer software is installed, you will see the printer listed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features.

The installation of the printer software adds two shortcut icons to the Desktop.

The Printer Assistant is named for the printer and provides access to Print , Scan , and Tools

HP Scan is named for itself and provides a direct call to the HP Scan software.

Printer software not installed?

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

• Home Page - HP Easy Start 
• Open Category Software and Drivers 
• Topic: Software-Utility 
• Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
• If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.

• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation

• When asked, Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
• If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
2. About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver or other application).
3. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
5. Disconnect from Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection while installing printer software.
6. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.
