Hi
I'm VERY behind the times but I just got a Windows 10 machine and we have hooked up my Envy 4527, which prints fine. BUT I cannot find anywhere to scan to PDF as I used to with the 4527 on my old Windows 7 machine.
This is an important thing for me so all help gratefully received !!
Thanks for your ideas
David

Hi @Mancman56
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the scanning issue.
Let's try these steps -
1.) Search Windows for HP, and then select your printer to open HP Printer Assistant.
2.) On the Scan tab, click Scan a Document or Photo to open HP Scan, and then continue to the next step.
3.) Change settings in HP Scan before you complete a scan job.
Option#1 in the above picture is for scan shortcut. Select "Save as PDF".
