Getting Canon 4770 to scan multipages into a PDF file while using the document feeder

Hi All
I'm new to this forum. So if I break any rules with my questions below, kindly forgive me.
But my questions are about my Canon MF4770 printer.
1. Why can't I used the document feeder to scan multiple pages into one PDF file?
2. Why do I have to constantly select the remote scanner option when the printer is connected to my computer?
Any help I can get will be very appreciated.

Hi Starlene and welcome to the Canon forum,
The ability to scan multi-page documents can depend on your operating system and version, and if the scanning software being used supports the feature. However, the MF Toolbox application that accompanies your laser product offers this option when scanning via a USB connection to your computer.
For example, if you are using Windows, below are the steps that would be performed:
1. Place documents.
Note: Up to 35 documents can be loaded in the feeder. Be sure to fan the stack, place it face up, and align the document guides to the width of document.
2. Press [SCAN].
3. Press [^] or [v] to highlight <Remote Scanner>, and then press [OK].
The machine is now waiting to be scanned.
4. Double-click the [Canon MF Toolbox 4.9] icon on the desktop.
The MF Toolbox starts.
5. Click [PDF].
Select [PDF (Multiple Pages)] in [Save as Type].
7. Specify the required settings as needed and click [PDF Settings].
The [PDF Settings] dialog box appears.
8. Specify the required settings as needed and click [OK]:
[Create Searchable PDF] Converts the characters in the document to text data and makes the PDF document searchable with keywords.
[Text Language] Select the language of the text to be scanned. The characters may be recognized more accurately if you select [English] from the drop-down list and set [Image Quality] to [300 dpi] or higher in [Scanner Settings].
[PDF Compression] Select [High] for color images such as photos or illustrations to reduce file sizes.
9. Click [Start].
Note:
A folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY PICTURES] folder in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder, and your document will be saved in this folder. If there is no [MY PICTURES] folder, the folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder and your document saved in this folder.
For text documents or black-and-white documents, it is recommended you select either [BLACK and WHITE] or [GRAYSCALE] in [SCAN MODE].
If making a Multiple PDF with color documents ([IMAGE QUALITY] set to [300 dpi]), it is recommended that the PDF have fewer than 20 pages.
The MF toolbox can be loaded from your software CD or downloaded here from the "Drivers & Software" tab on the Canon USA website.
I can understand some confusion on having to select "Remote Scanner" when you have a direct computer connection to your product. The reason for this is that first, the "Remote Scanner" mode refers to seeing your computer as a stand alone, or remote, device; however, the "Computer" scanning mode option allows you to select which computer will be performing a scan when doing so over a network (Max: up to 10 computers).
Another reason for having to select the scan mode is that the selection is not programmed but selected based on the type of scan you will be performing at the time.

Get File Information using the Document ID in Javascript

I store in a custom list the Document Id of a linked document. I need to retrieve some metadata - at least the filename - of that document. I have tried using the Search REST API specifying something like "DocID:INGX1-2-26" in my search query,
but nothing is returned, nothing found.
Is there any other way to get the file info when all I have is the Document ID? In the managed code, I could use the Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.dll which provides a way to get the file info using the DocId, but this is not available in Javascript.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Hi,
As a workaround, we can create a custom web service with the Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.dll, then you can call the web service using JavaScript.

Scanning doesn't use the document feeder

When using the scan to computer option on the printer / scanner it doesn't take the document from the feeder, instead scanning a blank image from the flatbed part. If I use the software on the PC to initiate a scan it does feed the document in, as it does when using the Copy option on the device itself.

I am having the exact same problem. I will add that scanning from the document feeder to my Mac Book works fine. The problem with the document feeder is only whenn atttempting to use the AiO software on my iPad.

Scanning pages into 1 PDF file

I have a Photosmart Plus B210 Series and a Mac OS X 10.6.6. My problem is that I want to scan more than one page in a single .pdf or .jpeg file and I cannot figure out how to do it. I can only scan one page per document. Anyone have a solution?

I'm not familiar with your model, but for my Photosmart D110, there is a check box after selecting Scan Document in the Solutions Center, then Scan at the bottom of the next window that specifies scanning each page into a different file. This box must be unchecked in order to create multi-page file.

I have an email that has my Certificate of Completion as part of the email. I can't save it to my desktop since the whole site of my email messages appear again!
I need to upload my Certificate of Completion of a course I completed onto a professional website so I can
get credit for attending it.
I think it has to be a PDF file.

I misunderstood. You want to print the entire email in a way that looks decent.
Most email sites have a "printable view" link or button. This may be in an obscure location. For example, on Outlook.com, it is on the ... menu (last item on the menu bar when viewing a message).
If you want to PDF the email, you can print it to a PDF printer driver. Examples include:
* PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/
* PDF Creator - http://www.pdfforge.org/

I need to merge hundreds of folders into seperate PDF files. Whats the best way ?

Hi,
I have around a thousand folders with various word docs and pictures in each. I want to archive each folder into a separate PDF file with the same name as the folder and containing all of the documents in the folder in a single PDF.
At the moment I am doing this manually but it is going to take forever.
Here is what I do now.
1, in windows explorer I go to the drive with all the folders and highlight the top folder.
2, copy the folder name to clipboard.
3, rightclick on folder and select "combine supported files in Acrobat
4, Click "combine files" in the acrobat window when it appears.
5, When the file is ready to save I paste the folder name from clipboard as the file name.
6, Repeat for the next folder.
I have done this for a couple of hundred folders so far but it is taking forever and I have almost a thousand to go.
I have tried everything I can think of in Acrobat to do this but nothing in the baatch creation of advanced document processing works like i want. Most of the option end up creating individual PDFs for each file rather than a single PDF with all the files in the folder merged into one.
Does anyone know of a way to do this more quickly or with some scripting or automation ?

Hi Mike,
Yes, it's possible with a script. Contact me by email for more info.

Getting chapters from PPro 2.0 into Encore 2.0 while using 3rd party encoder

Placing chapters in Premiere is a HUGE time saver. However, I also like to use 3rd party software to encode my videos to MPEG (Canopus ProCoder2.0). This process loses the Chapter information that the .avi file carries. Is there any way to get the chapter information into Encore while still using ProCoder?

Ok, thanks. I really wish Adobe would allow users to import and export chapter information. That would greatly increase my workflow. The thing that kills me is that in Encore 1.0, the chapters were connected to the timeline, not the video. So I could drop the AVI file into a timeline in Encore to create the chapter points, then delete it and place my MPEG video in its place. But Adobe got rid of this capability in 1.5.

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf file using the PIXMA MG7520 on Windows 8.0? Please help!

I recently received a PIXMA MG7520 for a gift. It works great with my lenovo laptop/tablet running on Windos 8.0. The one drawback to the HP all-in-one that it replaced is it does not have an ADF. That being said, there must be some way to scan multiple pages into one pdf file. I need help figuring thing out. Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hi mdtolbert54,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF document. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
7. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Scanned items are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
If you find that you need advanced scanning options such as adjusting resolution, brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc. in addition to the options selected above, please click on the SCANGEAR button on the IJ Scan Utility Main screen, then adjust the items as necessary.
Once the items above are set for document scanning, in the future, you will only need to launch the IJ Scan Utility, then press the DOCUMENT button to perform the scan (unless you want to make changes to the settings).
Hope this helps!

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
Thanks,

smgchandler,
Any camcorder that can connect via USB or that can save to an SD card can interface with an iPad if you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit so that you can watch your videos on the new iPad's beautiful retina display. You can find this on the Apple website or in most big box retail stores.

Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
1.     I open an acrobat file.
2.     I open a WORD file.
3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
Please help!
Thank you
Shirah
Moadim LeSimcha, times of joy!
