Scanning multiple pages

One of two things I can suggest:

1. make sure you are not scanning in JPEG or TIFF format as these are typically single page documents only. PDF is your best option for scanning.

2. Check settings, as some scanning software has an option that you can turn on or off depending on whether you want a single file with all pages or multiple files each containing a page.

There are many ways. For instance:

• Adobe Acrobat - This is the primary software of PDF files.
  
• MS Office Word - Lets you export as PDF.
  
• Apache OpenOffice Writer - Is a free alternate for MS Office.
  
• Scan - Some scanner software allow you to export as PDF.
  
• 3rd party software -There are PDF converters online. Some free.
  

Note that PDF files can be static as a picture, like scanning for instance. Or, dynamic like a word processor.

You have an option to create a multipage (PDF) file or single images. Please select appropriate option.

Yes, it is possible, if your scanning application has batch scanning option. However, pls provide the scanner model and scanning application details to provide the exact soltution.

yes if you use a pdf editor or office suite.

While scanning, at the point of selecting the destination folder, make sure YOU SELECT THE SAME FOLDER. You may need to click on the back arrow to return this ORIGINAL folder. At the point of selecting the destination folder you can resolve this issue.

Hi There !!

Thank you for choosing fixya.com

It is possible to scan different batches scanned from the ADF into one PDF file. When loading more pages in the ADF after the first realm is finished, it asks if you want to continue scanning to the same file. After that, it will continue scanning to the same file. However, this feature can be selected in the Adobe Acrobat application itself. From HP software, if we load the paper after one realm of paper in the ADF is finished, it will scan the second realm to a different file. If you want to continue scanning to the same file, you need to have either Acrobat Exchange or Adobe Acrobat installed on the computer. Adobe Reader will not provide this feature. After installing either Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Exchange, perform the following steps to scan pages to a single file:

1. Make sure your scanner is turned on.
2. Start Acrobat Exchange or Adobe Acrobat.
3. Put the document into the scanner (usually face down on the scan bed).
4. In Adobe Acrobat, click File , then Import , and Scan .
5. Select the device and whether you are scanning a single- or double-sided document.
6. The scanning software opens and the scanner completes a preview scan.
7. When the preview scan comes up, make any adjustments you would like, including selecting the area you want to appear in the final scan.
8. Click Scan . This will get the final scan into the computer.
9. Your scanning software should take you back to Adobe Acrobat.
10. In Adobe Acrobat, you should see a small window asking you if you want to scan another page. If the document you are scanning has more than one page, click the Next Page button. If this is the only page, click Done .
    NOTE: Scanning multiple pages causes each page to append to the previously scanned page. If you have multiple pages, but want them to be in different files, click Done after each page to create separate files.
11. When you have scanned the last page, click Done on the window described in step 10.
12. Your scanned pages will open in Adobe Acrobat. Scroll through to make sure that everything is there.
13. Click File , and then Save As to name your file and save it.

Still unable to figure out, How to do this? Here are some tutorial on HP website that might help.

Hope this would help.

I think this says you need Professional Mode rather than Full Auto Mode.

Under File Save Settings in the Professional Mode, you should see buttons for Add Page / Edit Page / Safe File.

Basically, you keep adding pages then finish.

If you already have multiple .pdf files that you wish to combine, Acrobat Professional (not READER) can do that.

Good luck,

I copied the text but I think you won't be able to see the images here:

4. Select PDF as the file type setting. The current Paper Size, Orientation, Margin, and Compression setting are displayed below it.

5. If you need to change any of the current PDF settings, click the Options button. You see the EPSON PDF Plug-in Settings window:


Select the settings that match your document and click OK. You return to the File Save Settings window.
6. When you are finished selecting file settings, click OK. Epson Scan scans your page and displays this window:


7. If you are scanning only one document page, or you don’t need to edit your pages, click Save File and go to step 10.

If you are scanning multiple pages, click Add page and replace the first page on the document table with the second page and click Scan. Repeat this step for each page in your document. When you are finished, click Edit page and go to step 8.
8. You see the Editing Page window displaying thumbnail images of each scanned page:


If you want to include all the document pages in your PDF file as they currently look, go to step 9.
If you want to delete some of the pages, click the odd pages or even pages icons, or click the individual pages you want to delete. Then click the delete icon to delete them.
If you want to rotate pages, click the pages or use the odd pages, even pages, or all pages icon to select the pages. Then click the left or right rotate icon to rotate them.
Note:
The delete icon is not available when all document pages are selected.
9. When you have finished editing your document pages, click OK. Your document is saved in a PDF file in the location you selected and you return to the EPSON Scan window.

10. Click Close to exit Epson Scan. Source(s): http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/…

Scanning a multi-page document as a .pdf file reverts the settings for rotation, selected area, etc. to default for any pages after the first page. This applies to Mac OSX 10.3, 10.4, & 10.5. A simple, but tedious work-around is to scan each page as a separate file and easily recombine them using OSX Preview. Just open the first page, view the Sidebar, and drag-drop the additional page files into the sidebar. Save and it's all one multi-page .pdf.

You'll need a scanner with an automatic document feeder (ADF).

Here's a Microsoft article on scanning documents, including scanning multiple documents info one file.

I hope this helps.
