How do i scan a document to pdf?

I am trying to scan something from my printer combined scanner.  I'd like to scan it so it automatically scans to PDF.  How do I do this?

Alternatively you can use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.
Launch Adobe Acrobat. Go to File > Create > PDF from Scanner

  • How can I scan a document to PDF in Windows 7 Professional

    I have a Canon MX892 which I previously used with Windows XP. I was able to scan documents to PDF very easily using the Canon Solutions Menu EX.  I am now using Windows 7 Pro 64. I downloaded the associated version of Canon Solutions Menu EX, but it is completely different from the Windows XP with far less functionality.  Is there some way to scan documents to PDF with Windows 7 Pro?

    Hi daberg,
    There is a program called MP Navigator that comes with the printer that can assist you with scanning a document in as a PDF file.  Once you are in the MP Navigator program, please follow these steps to scan and save a document in PDF format:
     1.  When MP Navigator opens, click on the ONE-CLICK option at the top of the window.
     2.  Click on the SAVE AS PDF FILE button.
     3.  Place the document you want to scan on the Platen, then select your Document Type (either Color or Black and White Photo or Document), Size, and Resolution.  
     4.  In the FILENAME section, the default name for the file will be IMG; you can change this to something else if you would like by highlighting the IMG and then typing over it.
     5.  In the SAVE IN section, you will see the folder path and location that the file will be saved to when you scan it; if you would like to change the location, please click on the SPECIFY button and select the location where you would like the file saved to.
     6.  Below the SAVE IN section, there is a checkbox titled SAVE TO A SUBFOLDER WITH THE CURRENT DATE.  If you leave this checkbox checked, then whatever folder location you select will have a folder with the current date of the scan placed in it, and inside of the currently dated folder will be the file that you scanned.  If you do not want to have the program create the subfolder, please uncheck that box.
     7.  Click the green SCAN button.  Scanning starts.  When scanning is completed, the file will be saved in the location you specified.
     8.  You can then close out of the MP Navigator program and go to the location where you specified the file to save.  You should find the PDF file in that location.  
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Riceburner1,
    Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer.  To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
    2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
        For Windows 8.1:
        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, then continue with Step 3 below.
        For Windows XP:
        1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
        2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
    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. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
    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.  Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name.  If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
         b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, 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.  In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.  
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed.   Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

    How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

    Have the scanner connected to the computer.
    Have the scanner software installed.
    Check the scanner manufacturer's website for the most recent / updated drivers and install same.
    Have Acrobat XI installed.
    While Acrobat XI can make use of Windows WIA drivers Acrobat "likes" TWAIN drivers best.
    So, if available, have the latest-greatest TWAIN.
    Acrobat can communicate with the scanner via the scanner software.
    An alternative --
    Scan directly to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
    Some scanners come with software to output to PDF directly; if present you could use that.
    Be well...

    Many scanners will do this directly any more. The other alternative is to open a TIFF that you might create from the scanner in Acrobat. The last alternative is to Open Acrobat and use the scanner from within Acrobat.

  • HP Officejet 6500A How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file?

    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n
    Windows 7 (64 bit)
    How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file?  My old printer (psc 2110) asked after each scan if I wanted to scan another page.  At the end I had one pdf file with multiple pages.
    This new one creates one file for each page and I cannot find a way to create one pdf file with multiple pages.

    Hi mpw101,
    If you load the papers into the ADF - Automatic Document Feeder, and then select Document to PDF then they will all be scanning into one file. Let me know if this works for you?

  • Optical character recognition--how do I scan a document to text I can edit.

    Optical character recognition--how do I scan a document to text I can edit?

    You first scan the document to a PDF. Then you run OCR from within Acrobat. Depending on your setup, the OCR may be run automatically.
    If you want to edit so the changes show on the screen, you will need to use ClearScan. The other two searchable options put the OCR text in a layer behind the image of your original document.

  • Acrobat 11.0.07 immediately crashes after scanning a document to PDF on my Mac.. this occurs after a recent update!

    Why is acrobat 11.0.07 crashing on my MAC immediately after scanning a document to PDF.  I have not had this problem until after a recent update .  The scanner is a HP 8600 Officejet Pro....

    Hi Steve
    There is a known issue with Acrobat 11 and it is specific to network/shared scanners and Mac OS 10.9. We have logged a bug in our database and we are working with Apple to resolve this issue. The workaround would be to connect the scanner via USB.
    Thanks

    I am trying to scan multiple documents (to save and email), but I don't have the option of "Create from Scanner" on the Adobe Reader XI.  How do I scan my documents (multiple pages on one file, not each page on a seperate file)?

    Nearly all word processors have the option to "insert" a picture or "aquire" an image so repeatedly accumulate your images in any document
