Merging scanned documents

I want to scan a 40 page document and then create a .pdf file suitable for viewing on computer screens. I'm not concerned with print quality. What's going to be the best method for doing this. I have a Canoscan LiDE 35 scanner and the software that came with it. My first attempt I dragged the scanned images into a pages doc, but had to make lots of adjustments to get everything to fit.
Thanks for any assistance.

hey, i just figured out that the canoscan tool box will let me scan directly into a pdf file, and has the option for multiple pages. just that simple.

Hi,
Please try:
After the first page, click add pages (a small + sign, on the left hand side of the preview window) to add the second page
Repeat for 3rd, 4th .... pages
At the end, Save document. All pages are now on one file, from the first page to the last page.
Regards.

Unable to merge word documents

When attempting to merge word documents an error occurs.
"There were errors encountered while combining files. Do you want to open the combined file or return to the file list and try again?"
In the merge list, they show up as a red X as status "Error (file skipped)"
Computer is Windows 7 Pro, fully patched and joined to a domain.
Word is version 2007 (fully patched on SP3)
Adobe is version X Pro (10.1.13)
Adobe X Pro and Microsoft Office has been reinstalled. A full virus scan has been done, nothing found. A clean up of registry has been done with ccleaner.
File location does not matter, I have tested locally and through a network share. The files open in word no problem and can be converted to PDF from word without issue. The issue persists in all user accounts so its computer wide.
All other files merge fine, only Word is effected.

Are you able to convert these files to PDF on their own?

Is there a way to have Adobe Acrobat run in the background while scanning documents?

This was working fine up until last week and then all of a sudden, the scanning program overrides anything else I'm doing on the computer (such as typing an email, etc). I'm not sure if a recent update removed that setting, but I'd like to be scanning documents, but not have to wait until it's done to have my computer back. Does anyone know how to change this?

My organization is having this same issue. Our scanners were using 9.2 Acrobat standardard to scan. While they were scanning, they could switch focus to another application and work while scanning continued in the background. Now, the twain driver grabs focus at the start of every page. This must have happened because of an upgrade. Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated considering this has affected our productivity.

How do I change the resolution of a scanned document/photo on CC568A?

Its a Photosmart 7520 Series printer.
The scanned documents are way too large to email, and I can't find anywhere on the printer or online on how to change the resolution to shrink the file size.
Thank you!

Hi @JeffJohnson,
I see that you are having issues emailing the scans. I can help you.
How are you scanning the emails? (from the computer or the printer)
If you are scanning from the computer to email, you can reduce your file size by:
1. Reducing the scan resolution. Change the dpi.
2. Scan your document in black/white or grayscale.
Be aware, that this will change the quality of the scan.
Here is a document for scanning to email from the printer. I don't believe there are any settings to change the size.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a USB Drive, and to a Memory Card).
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Have a nice weekend!
Thank You.

I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to a Canon MP530 printer. I am unable to scan documents as it appears my Mac does not support MP Navigator. Any ideas? I have made an inquiry to Canon but have not received any answers yet.

Why do you say your MBA won't support it? MP Navigator for OS X 8 and the MP530 is available here.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

How to change color of handwriting in a scanned document and make background transparent

I'm a newbie using Photoshop Elements 11 and trying--unsuccessfully so far--to change a document I've scanned so I can upload it to a custom fabric printing service. I've already scanned a handwritten recipe as a color .tif file (which looks black on white, because the original is black writing on a white background). I've also resized the image to 14" x 23". What I need help with is:
1. I want to change the color of the handwriting from black to red (specifically, to hex code cd0303).
2. I also want to add a 2"-wide solid color border in the same red around the 14" x 23" image of the recipe (so the finished image will be 18" x 27".
3. I want to make the background of the recipe transparent rather than white and make sure that the background stays transparent when I upload the finished image to the printing service as a .png file so that only the red writing and border will be printed onto the fabric.
I'd very much appreciate directions for doing those things. For reasons I don't understand, when I've created a blank file and set the background color to Transparent, then tried to make the changes I want, somewhere along the way the background changes to black.
Many thanks!

Try this:
Open your scanned document, and be sure that there is good contrast. The native scan may need some help.
Duplicate the background layer, then shut off the visibility of the background layer by clicking on its eye icon. Work on background copy layer
Get the magic wand tool out of the toolbox, set tolerance to 32 (may have to experiment with this value), uncheck "contiguous".. Left click on a white background area. Hit delete on keyboard. Press CTRL+D to get rid of the marching ants.
Set your foreground color chip to cd0303
CTRL+left click on the layer thumbnail with the writing, then Edit>fill selection>foreground color
Press CTRL+D
Go to Select>all, then Edit stroke(outline) selection. Position stroke inside, set width of stroke to suit
Delete the background layer, and save in file format which preserves transparency.

How can I merge two documents in Pages 5.2?

I am created a lab manual for my classes and each individual lab is a separate pages file. It is now time to merge the documents so that the page numbering updates itself and print to PDF to be published. How do I do that? I've read online that pages 09 would allow you copy paste thumbnails from one document to another but pages 5.2 doesn't seem to allow for that. Help!

That's right. Use Pages '09.
You can export to Pages '09 from Pages 5.2.

How do i edit a scanned document in word

how do i edit a scanned document in word

That's impossible. Scanned images are pixel data, not editbale text. You'd have to run it through some OCR process first like in Acrobat, but even then it may just end up being a collection of isolated text objects, not easily editable paragraph text....

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps
