how can i scan to a pdf file using hp officejet 4500 scan feature. only give a jpg or bit extension

Hello pf1tarac, I don't believe that is possible. In order to create a PDF file, you would need Adobe Acrobat or some other PDF compatible product to save a scan to the PDF format.
There are some free PDF programs available. Here is a link to one of them.

How can I highlight text in a document scanned in pdf format?

How can I highlight text in a document scanned in a pdf format?

If it wasn't OCRed in Acrobat then you can only use the non-text commenting tools, like the Square or Polygon. Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bad and you could make it look like a text highlight annotation.

HP Envy 4500 Scan to PDF; Windows 8.1 on HP Pavilion x360

I need to scan into a pdf file rather than jpeg, png, tiff, etc. I used to be able to do this with my old printer and computer, and I'm finding it hard to believe that I can't do it with my new one! Probably I am missing something obvious, but I haven't found a good solution on the Forum Search. Apparently I must use a work-around using different software to convert my scanned images to pdf? Please, tell me that HP has a fix that I can download! Or, please give me some detailed info that I have a chance of doing with Windows 8.1, Touch Screen. Thanks in advance....

Thank you for your help. I think I have loaded the driver onto this computer, but it was six months or so ago. Everything works (printing and scanning) except that I cannot scan into pdf. When I choose "Documents," I get a message that Windows cannot load my scan profile, that my profile settings might not be compatible with this scanner, that it will scan using default settings. Then, when I continue, it gives me only four choices for file type, bitmap, png, jpeg, and tiff, even though it still says it is scanning a document. Some of the other questions in the forum led me to think that perhaps I had just chosen a printer that would not scan to pdf. Your answer leads me to believe that I need to go back and reload my driver, if I am understanding you correctly. If I don't hear anything different from others, I will certainly try that! Thanks!

OfficeJet Pro L7780 won't scan in PDF format

I have an OfficeJet Pro L7780 that HP sent me after giving up on fixing a 7310xi. I installed the software an received a "fatal error" message about error code 2203. It went ahead and installed OK - I thought. I even went to www.hp.com/support and searched for that error code. From what I gathered, it had something to do with registering it....so I didn't download their fix. After the installation finished, I went into the scan settings because I do scan quite a bit. I discovered that the PDF file option was not listed in the document scan settings. Only BMP, JPG, TIF, PNG, PCX and FPX are listed, which are, indeed, the file types that are available in the picture scan settings. It's as though the software loaded the same file types in both the document and picture scan settings.
I'm wondering now if the fatal error message actually related to this problem.
Any advice....short of uninstalling the entire package and starting over again?
Thanks....
This question was solved.
View Solution.

DexterM,
Thanks for the speedy reply.
Yes, I do have Adobe Acrobat installed on my PC (It's a new Dell with all the bells and whistles). The error message was short and sweet, as I described in my original post.
Since posting that message, I have, in fact, uninstalled and reinstalled the software on my PC - same results. The only file types available in the scan document setup are the same ones in the scan picture setup. Also, the second time I installed it, I did not get that fatal error message. Lastly, I've installed the same software on three laptops in my house (all networked) and got the same results (no PDF file option in the scan document setup).
I'm stumped and I really dread talking to Mumbai to try to resolve this.

Problem in Using scanned .pdf format files

I have an old (5-6 years old) Canon N670U flat bed scanner. I use it for scanning books of my interest. It can give each page/document scan in pdf format directly. However each scan becomes a separate file lthough serially numbered while scanning. When I want to read the pages, Next/Previous page or pages Up/Down etc. - reader tools available in Acrobat Reader are not operative.
    I need to go back to each scan file separately. Also, most of the time, image needs to be rotated. Though I do it in view mode, it does not get saved in corrected mode-even if I go to "file" and click on "save as". At each fresh visit, this has to be repeated.
    Present driver of the scanner is version 4. I did get your version 7 downloaded. But could not install & use it. Is it necessary that old version first must be uninstalled and only then I can install the new version? Is it not automatic? It might have to copy new and remove old software files.
    What should be done that all these individual files (of a single bok) can be combined into a single meaningful folder, with availability/access to all Adobe Reader Tools. Will be grateful for advice..

This needs to be done during the scanning process, using your CanoScan software. Once the file is saved unrotated, you will need some additional software to do that (Acrobat), so better do it during the scanning process.
Use the Rotate clockwise / counterclockwise buttons on your scanning software.

Can't scan as a pdf from my hp officejet 4500 printer

Can't scan as a pdf from my hp officejet 4500 printer
I have windows 7 professional... please help

Hey Patricia Davis,
Firstly, please clarify whether you are trying to use scanner or printer option as both are different.
What exactly are you trying to do with your document? Do you face the same issue with all documents or any specific one?
Is there any error message that prompts on your screen?
Let me know.

HP Officejet 4500 will print but won't scan - MAC OS 10.6.8

Hi
We've been using our HP Officejet 4500 for about 3 years with mostly no issues. Recently, we were having some issues. We uninstalled the software and then used Apple Software Update to reinstall. Now the printer works perfectly for printing wirelessly. But scanning is not even an option. I cannot scan from the control panel on the printer. When I go into system preferences, the little printer icon says "Print & Fax", not "Print & Scan" and there is no scanner option to be found once I am in "Print & Fax". I used to have an HP Scan program on my Mac that I could open and scan from there but now that is gone. The HP website tells me to simply use Apple Software Update for drivers and software. Apple Software Update tells me I have everything I need. I have performed "Repair Disk Utility", rebooted, deleted the printer and added it again.
Please help. Thanks.

Hello @Yakbihn ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems scanning with your officejet 4500.
I would like to help.
HP Scan software is not available through Apple Software Update (ASU) for some HP Multifunction Printers.
And as you and I know, The Drivers are not available on HP.com.
There are still ways for you to scan.
The links below are for a laserjet and the other 10.9
The steps will be the same.

Officejet 4500 will not scan

Ihave an HP Pavilion running Windows 7 Home Premium and an HP Officejet 4500 510g all-in-one. I suddenly cannot scan from the Solution Center or from the front panel of my printer. The Solution Center first gave me an error:
8,[(8,101,0)]. I rebooted computer and tried again, and it scanned a third of a page and froze. I downloaded the new HP Print and Scan Doctor and ran it. It showed an error when scanning the drivers(no error number). It instructed me to unplug printer power, plug it back in, reboot computer and try again.Upon doing so it , the scan doctor came back with another error and said it could not fix the issue and showed me a link to HP Support. Clicked on the link and it was the Driver downloads page. I downloaded the full driver, but have not installed it yet. First, I'd like to know if, since i have the original disc that came with the printer, should i install from the disc, or install the downloaded driver? (Both have the same date of release on them). Are they different somehow? Is one better than the other? Secondly, I'd like to know if i need to uninstall any software or drivers before i install the new one? Or will the new one just overwrite and "fix" the bad one? Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it!
P.S. If i do need to uninstall anything, Please tell me exactly what to uninstall. Thanks!

Hello BLKFEATHER, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
