Here is a video on how to scan multiple pages to one PDF file using your home printer and Windows Fax and Scan. I couldn't find a video on how to do this so I created this one. Hope it helps!
Oct. 2023: The exact solution I needed! Thanks, Adam! We just bought a Canon Image Class MF-753cdw all-in-one printer for our small office and cannot resolve issues with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF so this is the perfect solution until we can get support from Canon.
I have the solution for the flatbed. Scan the individual pages and convert each to a PDF. Install the Free App PDF Merger & Splitter. Upload the PDF pages to the App and Merge. It took me hours to figure out this solution and it is now simple to do.
I agree. This only works if the scanner has a feeder! If you select the flatbed option it will create a new file for every page. Not only that but you have to go through the process of selecting the scanner and changing from the default settings for every new page.
When using a flatbed, put all scan files into the same folder. Change the names of each scan as to place them in the order you desire for the pdf file. When you go to the containing folder and open the files in Windows Photo Viewer, you are on track with this video directions.
R. Leonard Vance if you have each of the images saved, even as jpgs, select them all at once and select to print as shown in the video and you should have each image in its own page
It won't work with a flatbed. Windows fax and scan needs to scan all pages at once for this to work. And for some scanners this even flips your documents into landscape orientation. This method only works with some higher end office scanners.
Not fast, but my solution... - Scan each page and save (name each scan by it's page number) as an image - Open a Word doc (probably would work with google docs too) - Adjust the margins to "0" - Use Insert Image to put one scan on each page - Save as PDF Windows Fax and Scan really needs an upgrade!
You will have to do it using the feeder on your scanner, but some brands comes with built in software that allows you to do this. My feeder is messed up and that's the only reason why i am not able to do it after watching this tutorial.
@@lesliea876 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This turned out to be the simplest & quickest way for me to get the job done. I was able to highlight all jpg images at once & insert in one go, all perfectly set out on the pages. Saved as PDF, done!
Scanning to TIFF and then converting it to a PDF isn't the same as scanning to PDF. Do you have a method to do this in one step, as in having PDF as a file type option within Print and Scan?
This only works if the scanner has a feeder! If you select the flatbed option it will create a new file for every page. Not only that but you have to go through the process of selecting the scanner and changing from the default settings for every new page.
I have a Windows 10 laptop which doesn't support Windows Photo Viewer. I understand the Windows Photo App does the same thing. Is this your experience?
After scanning the files, go to the folder the files are in. Then highlight the desired files, right click on the first highlighted file, and press print. The you are in step with the video. You don't need Photo Viewer in Win10.
When I go to profile to select documents it says windows can’t load your skin profile your profile settings might not be compatible with the scanner windows will scan using the default settings I have an HP envy 5640 printer
I followed the helpful instructions, but sadly it only scanned one page (via my feeder) at a time which totally defeated the purpose. Windows Fax and Scan is not serving me well, though this video was very helpful. Thank you.
I have the solution for flatbeds. Scan each document individually and convert each to a PDF. Install the Free App PDF Merger & Splitter. Upload the PDF pages to the App and select Merge. I spent hours searching for a solution and this app makes it simple.
Doesn't work, the multi-page document always flips to landscape by default and only works if you have an auto-document-feeder on your scanner. This video misses a lot of details.
Hi, could you pleas help me to fix my scanner problem? A problem prevented the doaument from being scanned. Please try again, or for troubleshooting information, see Help and Support or the information that came with the scanner.
Good effort on the review, however you need to show how to file your scan documents into order into windows. So you can easily find your documents, like Tax receipts and important documents etc.
Photo Viewer is not needed. When you have the files in a folder, highlight the desired files, right click on the first highlighted file, and select print.
Click on the Options link (lower right-hand side of the window). In the Print Settings window that appears, select Printer Properties... In the Microsoft Print to PDF Document Properties window, select the desired final orientation (Portrait or Landscape) in the dropdown menu.
The short and quick version i just used : 1. Scan the files if necessary 2. Downmoad or print or export to PDF When you have all the files in pdf, combine them in to one pdf 3. To combine >>>>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2Xam5ra3R_s.html Thank me later.
Like so many "demonstration" videos I have watched, you move too quickly - assuming that everyone already knows where to find the various options. Good instruction is done is a methodical, step by step process. I appreciate that you have created this video; however, it would be much more helpful if you did it as if you had never done it before.
