It'll not scan as PDF instead you need to save the image as PDF or change the settings to save to PDF by default
Follow instructions to change the default settings using the manuals:

Hi,

open HP Director > Scan Settings > Scan Document Settings > select Save as File and on the menu below select file type PDF.

If PDF is not listed in the menu below scroll the menu and select PDF instead Save as file.

If already PDF is not listed download and install this very light and simple freeware software:

It enables to create pdf file directly from a scan jobs.
Hope this helps !

Thanks

SOURCE: Not able to scan to pdf file with Brother MFC-240C

What you seem to want to do is not possible. Let me explain:
A file that has its data in the Adobe company Portable Document Format (or a pdf file) contains various objects that are described to the computer using a superset of the PostScript language, some of them can be images.

A file that comes from the scanner is first a very organized set of pixels and gets put into a more compact form by using a well known process as defined by the Joint Motion Picture Experts group. This is a roundabout way of saying that it has a format that isn't PDF.

What you CAN do:
a) open the jpeg file with a Macintosh, using the Print command from the file menu make a pdf file that has the image in it.

b) buy and install a PDF printer driver on a Windows machine, and then follow the same process as A above.

c) Use your favorite PDF creation program to make a file with the image embedded.

SOURCE: MCF 6490CW SCAN AS A PDF

I was trying to figure out how to scan multi-page documents to a single file and found this on the Brother website:

Double-click on the ControlCenter3 icon located in the Task Tray to launch the program window.

Click on CONFIGURATION -> SCAN.

Choose the type of scan you require. The choices are: IMAGE,
E-MAIL, and FILE.

The Scan to configuration window will appear.

The SOFTWARE BUTTON tab configures the Scan to button within theControlCenter3 software interface. The DEVICE BUTTON tab configures the Scan to key on the Brother machine. Choose the tab you want to configure.

Under FILE TYPE select an option that allows multi-page documents:

a) PDF (*.PDF)
b) Tiff Multi-Page # Uncompressed (*.tif)
c) Tiff Multi-Page # Compressed (*.tif)

Click OK.

I have the HP C3180 printer and I want to scan in PDF format, not Jpeg. How can I make it change over to PDF

To scan a photo into pdf file, it entirely depends upon the printer software if it has an option to scan into pdf then its fine if it hasn't, then you first need to scan the photo into jpeg and google to search for a jpeg to pdf software and convert it into a pdf file.

Hope this helps you.

HP F2280 won?t scan multiple pages into a PDF file

I fixed this by Installing the full suite of programmes on the installation CD, specifically Installing the "OCR Isis" programme (or Iris, not sure).

I had the scan-to-pdf option, but then when I reinstalled my system it was no longer available. I tried updating Adobe Acrobat reader to v9.0 and I don't think this fixed it. But at the same time I installed the "extra" programmes of the HP Installation CD, and then the scan-to-PDF feature was back.

So basically, install the COMPLETE set of programmes on the HP installation CD seemed to fix this.

I have a HP Deskjet F2180 printer, but I suspect that the HP software is generic across alot of its product range.

Cheers! - Hope this helps someone.
