I recently purchased an HP Envy Photo 7855. I am trying to figure out how to scan multiple single sided originals into a single pdf (or other format). Hopefully I'm missing a simple step. Help please!
Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Save multiple pages or photos into one PDF file using HP Scan. You must have Adobe Reader software installed on the computer. Go to Get Adobe Reader to install the software.
NOTE:HP Scan does not support adding multiple JPEG, PNG, or TIFF photos into a single file. You must save photos in PDF format to save them all in one file.

The solution posted worked well - as it should.
What's perplexing is that I needed this solution vs following the "directions" that are part of the HP package. One screen does not even allow selecting a pdf as the format. Another allows me to select scanning from the flatbed or the feeder - but does not combine the multiple pages into a single file. No fun...but a hearty thanks for the help.
Now, if I can only remember how to do this next time 🙂
Cheers!
