HP Envy 4501
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

 I am trying to scan multiple pages in one document.  I am using a HP Envy 4501 All-in-one and running Windows 8.1.  I used to be able to do this at one point but for some reason, lately I am not able to.  I have read other posts that spoke of a "+" sign on the left side of the screen, but it is not there for me.  Also, I cannot just save the page and scan the next without having to save them under different file names.  Please advise.

Hi,

From the HP Software click on Scan a Document or Photo and ensure the Sow Scan Preview is checked.

 

Reduce the Scan Resolution into 300 or a lower resolution and press on Scan, then the add button should appear again.

I've never been able to scan a multple page document into a single PDF file - what software?  what scan preview screen?  nothing here matches my computer with windows 8 or the printer - why is it an "envy"  right now I'm not very envious - glad it "works" for some - if anyone there can help, i'd appreciate it
