scan to pdf file format / shortcut to scan

[Venturetx]

A)

Is there a shortcut to scan quicker. Now I have to go to devices and printers (wait), right click my printer (wait) then hit scan.

B)

Once there I can only choose from the following file types; BMP, JPG, PNG, TIF. I really need to scan to pdf without having to "print to pdf" ever doc I scan.

THANKS!!!

Scanning issues…

Please try this scan solution:

HP Scan Extended

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi   For Windows.

Once it's downloaded and installed, go to Start > All Programs > HP > HP Scan Extended > Run "HP Scan Extended"

Make searchable PDF scans for free with this scanning software -   https://www.naps2.com/

Let us know.

Love the NAPS2!!

HP Scan Extended "Cannot find my imaging device". Can I just use the NAPS2 and uninstall the HP extended scan?

NAPS2 is not dependent on "Extended" -- you can uninstall the HP Extended Scan program.

Reference:

Scanning Program Options

Document Sections Include:

HP Extended Scan  – Single, Multiple scans, Auto-Crop!

NAPS2  -- Not another PDF Scanner
