PDF file as a scan output copy

I have HP F2280 printer. I am using Windows XP as an operating system.
Question: Is it possible when I scan a document to get the electroic  scan as PDF file, if so how.

Hi,
Do you still keep installtion CD which comes with the printer ? If no you may need to find one. If yes, please follow these steps:
Run the sw installation cd,
Select the option install more software.
Select OCR software to install additional software if it is listed.
Now launch the HP Solution Center icon on your desktop
Click Scan Document.
Save as PDF in the file type option
Hope this helps,
BH

  • I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

    I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
    I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer.  Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
    have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
    When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
    Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
    Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
    If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
    If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
    spooling".
    I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
    In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
    "Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
    bank statement.
    So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
    printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
    However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
    PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
    So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
    THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
    THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
    TO PRINT THEM.
    NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
    the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
    And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
    no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
    I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

    There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

  • Save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end

    How can I save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end of file name?

    If you have actually made any changes (e.g. adding a Sticky Note or filling out forms), the Save button will appear in the bottom toolbar.  It will save it as the same name.
    "- Copy" is added only when you tap/click the Save As button.  You can change it to something else, if you'd like.

    I have protected pdf files. You can not copy things, but it is allowed to print. In the menu of the pdf it says you are allowed to print. I already printed lots of times the document. But today there is an error "The printer is not admittet to print these pdf". Its new. Theres no problem with the printer. I can print word documents, internet pages etc. But today I can not print anymore my pdf document, although printing is allowed and only copying is forbidden.
    How to solve the problem with the pdf?
    Thank you.

    Hi Hans,
    There seems to be other restrictions in the document that's not allowing it to print.
    Would it be possible to share the document with me so that I can have a look?

    Antes, quando lia arquivos PDF, eu conseguia copiar e colar parte do livro. Agora isso não é possível. Eu consigo copiar, mas quando vou colar o texto, não cola nada.

    Caro Fabiano,
    Obrigado por ter contactado as Comunidades de Suporte Apple.
    Na origem do seu problema podem estar várias causas. Nomeadamente:
    O ficheiro (arquivo) que está a ler pode não ser texto, ou seja, pode ser texto transformado em imagem e exportado como PDF.
    A aplicação de destino (onde está a tentar colar o texto copiado) pode não aceitar a colagem de texto formatado.
    A aplicação que está a utilizar para abrir os ficheiros PDF pode não ser indicada para certo tipo de documentos. Experimente o iBooks, o Dropbox ou até mesmo o seu e-mail.
    No caso de nenhuma destas causas estar na origem do seu problema, forneça, por favor, mais informações sobre a origem do ficheiro (descarga pelo Safari, Mail ou outro) bem como o destino (documento Pages, Keynote ou Numbers ou outra aplicação que não o iWork).
    Atentamente,
    Gonçalo Matos

  • How to create PDF files that can't by copied by MAC

    Hi,
    I need to create pdf files that I can put on my website, that cannot be copied or edited by MAC users. I have created pdfs that can't be copied by Windows users, but they're still copyable by Mac users.

  • PDF Files Size after Scan

    I have a Canon MX892 (made for personal use) all in one printer in my home, when I scanned a 21 page document it turned out to be 14 meg in size.  I scanned this same document from my office which has Konica C54 all in one printer (made for business use) and the file size was 6 meg.
    Is there any way that I can reduce the size of files that I scan at home?  I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and tried saving it "optimized" and it only reduced the file from 14 meg to 13 meg.
    I would appreciate any advice you might have.

    Hi gold154,
    You might also try Acrobat XI Pro's specific feature for optimizing scanned documents. This often reduces the file size on my scanned files.

  • How can I convert a pdf file containing a scanned document?

    I tried (and paid for) Adobe ExportPdf. It did not work. I get a Word-Document containing huge images. Useless.

    Hello and sorry for the long delay in answering.
    I have tested several pdf files that only contain scanned images.
    I always selected the correct language for text recognition.
    The first I tried was a Spanish document with 13 pages, converting to *.doc. The original had 3162 kB, the newly created Word document has 11836 kB. It contains only images, every page in the PDF document is an image.
    Then I did a German document with only one page, it was converted beautifully into a WORD-Document.
    Same for a Spanish document with only one page, it was converted beautifully into a WORD-Document.
    Then I tried a again Spanish document with 18 pages, converting to *.docx. I took about 10 minutes due to my slow Internet connection. The original has 3807kB, the converted file 6559 kB. The opened converted docx-file is almost empty.
    Is it possible that multiple page documents do no work?
    Would you like to have a look at these documents yourself?
    Thank you and best regards, AlMarsad2013

  • Preview/QuickView of HP Scan Pro PDF Files Causes System Crash in 10.5.5

    Ever since upgrading to 10.5.5 on my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, I have been having problems with PDF files created by scanning documents using HP Scan Pro. Prior to 10.5.5, the PDFs from HP Scan Pro worked fine and behaved like any other PDF. Under 10.5.5, however, opening one in Preview or trying to view it in the Finder using QuickView causes the whole system to hang. Processor usage jumps to >100% and everything on the system becomes unresponsive. Every app causes a spinning beach ball, the Dock will not display, menus will not pull down, and I can't even call up the Force Quit dialog via the keyboard. There is nothing to be done but force-restart the system by holding down the power button.
    Looking in the system.log, it seems that ATSServer is the process that is causing this problem. A dump of the relevent log entries is at the end of the message. The "Non-aligned pointer" and "Incorrect checksum" errors just continue forever until the point when I force a reboot.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have knowledge of what changed in ATSServer or PDF handling in 10.5.5 that could be causing this? What is unique about the PDF files created by HP Scan Pro?
    Thanks,
    Drew

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread that I started. I am glad to know it's not just me having these problems.
    I have run through all the usual suggestions related to ATSServer problems and problematic fonts: I've cleared caches, checked all the fonts for broken ones, haven't installed any new ones since this problem began, etc., etc.
    I've been able to make a few more observations about the problem in my case:
    1. I don't get any crashes while using the HP Scanjet software. I can successfully create a PDF file.
    2. The problem for me only exists on PDF files that I have had HP Scanjet do OCR on and save the text with the image in the PDF. If I scan to create an image-only PDF, it does not cause a problem.
    3. I have now noticed that the problem comes not only when trying to open problem PDFs using Preview or QuickLook, but it also happens when mdsworker, the Spotlight indexer, tries to access the file for indexing. The computer then hangs. I have now had to turn off Spotlight until I can eliminate all the problem PDFs. (The problem only happens with PDFs created since the upgrade to 10.5.5. Older PDFs created with HP Scanjet that were in the Spotlight index earlier do not cause problems.)
    4. These problem PDFs will open correctly in Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader if Spotlight is off, but if Spotlight is on opening the file causes it to be indexed and the system hangs.
    In Googling for solutions, I've found that people have sometimes been having problems with interaction between ATSServer and mdsworker since as far back as 10.2.x:

  • OCR search in scanned PDF files

    Hi,
    i have some PDF files created by scanning using Adobe 5.0 ME with Arabic support. when i did OCR in those documents, English search is OK and Arabic is not OK. Also when i copy paste Arabcic text, it shows junk characters. if any one have same such issues before, please respond.
    Thanks in advance
    Ameen

    I don't think Arabic is a supported language in Acrobat's OCR.

  • Opening pdf in browser leaves copy of pdf file on desktop

    Guess I'm having a "bald moment" (never was blond).... Whenever I open a pdf file in a browser (Safari or Firefox) a copy of the pdf file is actually downloaded to my desktop. If I am updating my online bank accounts this leaves dozens of files cluttering the desktop that I have to later delete. I have not been able to figure out how to change this behavior. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    "How about browser preferences? are you using 10.4.8? that would mean over two years without updates."
    There's nothing I can find in the browser prefs that affects this behavior. I'm running 10.5.7 of OSX.
    "Are you using Acrobat? latest 9.1+? a browser plug-in? to view pdfs?"
    Firefox launches Acrobat to open pdfs. I have the latest version the Acrobat reader. Safari uses Preview.
    "I'm not surprised a file is saved to disk. But does the browser delete temp files on quit or closing?"
    Actually, I am quite surprised that a copy of a pdf opened via a browser is left lying around. This is bad behavior.
    There is no temp file. Immediately upon clicking the url and the pdf file opening, there is a copy of the file on the desktop.
    "Other things to try: backup your system (clone, so it is bootable) and repair the drive and permissions with SuperDuper and Disk Warrior. Just to be sure you have backup, and that it is working properly."
    I don't really get the fixation on these forums with repairing permissions. It is unlikely to fix anything other that an app that will not run or that cannot access one of its supporting files. I've used Macs since they came into existence and have worked with UNIX almost as long. I have NEVER seen a problem fixed by repairing permissions and have never seen permissions actually repaired except after a software install. And that is a symptom of a poorly designed installer. Sorry to rant.
    Thanks for the reply.
