How do I scan a document, and where does it appear once scanned?

You can also use the Image Capture application in the Applications folder to scan. It will allow you to select a scan location and various other options.

How can I copy Word Document and save them in my iPad?

Hi, I just recieved my iPad 3 today. I've never used the Apple format before. All of my recipes are in Microsoft Word all neatly organized, there are many... I mean a lifetime of them and I'm old! I bought the iPad to use it in the kitchen and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to transfer my Word files to my iPad and put them in a document folder. Can anyone help? I sure would appreiciate it.

There are no document folders in the iPad. Files and documents are saved within the app that is used to create, edit and view the corresponding files. You need an app that can read and edit Word files and you will be able to save the files within that app.
You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud service, use iOS file sharing or use iCloud - if you use one of the Apple iWorks apps - in this case it would be Pages.
There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think.

How do I scan multiple pages and save as pdf with my new Canon MG 2520?

Are you using Windows or Mac? What version? Have you installed the drivers yet?

Hi trepc,
This can be accomplished by adjusting a setting inside of MP Navigator, the Canon scanning program that came with your unit. So that I can provide specific instructions to set this, please reply with the model number of your printer as well as the operating system installed.
I look forward to assisting you with your PIXMA printer.

How scan a text document and save as editable text not image

I have a new ENVY 5660 and a macbook pro running yosemite. When I scan a text document and try to save it, I am only given a choice of image formats. How can I save it as an editable text in pages or word?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are wondering how to scan a text document, and save as editable text, and not a image, with your HP Envy 5660, on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, it states: NOTE: Integrated OCR software is available only with Officejet 5740 and 8040 models. Which means, this software is not included with this printer. You might be able to perform this operation, if you are able to get third-party OCR software. Such as: ReadIris. Hope this answers your question! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that, not Adobe Reader.

I have scanned a document and saved it to desk top - when I have then attached to an email it says no plug and attachments don't send. How do I add plug in so pdf documents can be attached and opened.

I have scanned a document and then saved it to desktop. It has saved as a pdf. When I have then attached it to email and sent - an message comes up saying no plug ins - The recipent couldnt open files. How can I rectify this so that I can attach pdf pleaase

search the app store for PDF Writer. I've found a lot that will convert documents to PDF, but none yet that will write within the PDF. One thing you want to avoid are cloud based apps. Any of them that talk about editing on the cloud, etc, aren't going to be as standalone as you want.
It's possible, if you can take your template PDF, turn it into a word document that you can edit, you can then convert that to PDF...kinda a workaround way to do what you want. And apps that convert to PDF are much easier to find

How can I remove a page from a PDF document and save it as a new PDF document?

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

Once i scan a document and create a pdf. how do i then change the fields on the document

once i scan a document and create a pdf. how do i then change the the info on the document. i have to update a couple of the columns and cannot figure out how. please help.

You are probably only looking at a graphic. You have to run OCR before you can do the corrections. For your use, you would need the ClearScan option. Once you have a text based document, you can then use the Text Touchup Tool. Expect to have problems. Editing a PDF is not easy to do well and is not really recommended, except for minor edits. Wordwrap and such features are not part of the editing options. It would be best if you could get an electronic copy of the original, edit that, then create a new PDF.

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
Solved!

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!

I don't have the option "Create from Scanner". How do I scan my documents?

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
