HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I installed my 8710 All In One Printer Series software on another computer and the "Searchable PDF" option is not there. Normally, in the HP Scan window, it can be found on the right under "Destination", and "File Type" in the drop-down window below the file type.

 

See pictures below.  The first picture, "Exhibit A". has the Searchable PDF Option and the second picture,  "Exhibit B", does not.

 

I've downloaded the version listed under, "Software Utilities"

HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories, Version: 40.15.1230_1, Size: 115.8 MB, Release Date: May 26, 2022

 

Is there a way to get the OCR function back for a Searchable PDF?

 

Thank you,

Emmette
