Hi,

 

Please try

 

(a) Open Scan from computer software (ie HP Scan),

(b) Select Scan a Document or Photo

(c) Select scan to PDF, scan the first page and don't save,

(d) Click a small + (plus sign) to add second page,

(e) and then  again for 3rd, 4th ....

(f) Save one file at the end.

 

Regards.

Hi BH

 

Thank you for your quick reply; I have just tried your suggestion but I still obtain separate pdf files for each page that I scan.

 

 I am trying to scan more than one page into one only pdf file; do you know if this is possible?

Hello BH,

There should be a "plus" that looks like this (+) on the preview page.  Once you scan the first page, go to the printer and add another page, then press the (+), this will automatically initiate the scan to scan the screen and add the 2nd page you want to add to the document.

 

Note:  Make sure the dpi setting is set to 300 or less.  If it is set to over 300, the (+) will not appear on the preview page.

 

Hope this helps!!
