Photosmart C5580: PDF File type option has disappeared from Scan Shortcut Settings under Documents

For 6 years I have used PDF as the file type for scanning documents.  Yesterday it switched to TIFF.  This creates files of ~8.5 MB per scanned page.
The PDF option does no longer show in the dropdown menu.  Remaining options are:
Bitmap, TIFF, TIFF Compressed, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PCX and FlashPix.
How do I get PDF back on the list.
I run Vista Home Premium

Hi @vliegendeboer ,
I see that you are having issues with the PDF option missing from the scanning software. I would like to help.
In the HP Solution Center Software, select the option to change settings, select Save to File Save Options, on the File Type, try and select PDF and press OK. I don't have the exact Version 12 software you are using to go by, but the steps should be similiar.
If you are still not able to select PDF ,download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it.Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If there was any updates recently done on the computer, you can restore your computer back to before everything was working properly. How To Use System Restore in Windows Vista.
If you are still having issues, the software might have become corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

Try scanning a PDF again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

  • I want to edit the application associated with pdf files, but the pdf file type is not available on the Applications tab under edit preferences. How do I add file types?

    I am running Firefox 5.0 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0) under Kubuntu 11.04.

    Thanks jscher2000, I tried your suggestion, but no joy (as expected). None of the extensions were .bin, and in fact, I can't find a single listing for handling the .bin extension in the entire (unfiltered) list.
    That's why I'm so confused. Where is Firefox getting the name "VLC.bin (default)" from in the first place?
    cor-el, I checked out the link that you posted.
    I don't have an entry for "browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes" and the entry "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" was empty (default setting).
    My bad, but I forgot to mention in my first post that I had also tried renaming the mimetypes.rdf file in my "Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default\" to .old to no avail.
    Firefox created a new, almost empty file, but it didn't change the behavior for .bin files. I removed the new file and put the old file back in place after determining that clearing the file did not help, since I am otherwise happy with my current file-type options.
    However, since the option to "Always perform this action" is grayed-out, I am looking into the possibility that the website is sending a misconfigured MIME type or is assigning "Content-Disposition: attachment" to the download. What's odd, though, is that I've never had problems getting binary files from the site in the past, and the problem started when the VLC player was installed.
    I'll post back after I check into the server header data.

  • My share option has disappeared from by FB business page

    Can anyone help please: just before Christmas, I think there was another FB Pages update, which I did. My "share" option on posts has now disappeared, so people can only 'like' or 'comment'. Also the "insights" info is different when I access the page directly vs when I access it through my personal FB page. AND I now have to log in to the business Page every time I want to access it.
    Help please.

    Welcome to Pages Forum! Pages is a program in the iWork suite, an Apple product. If you have problems with FB (face book?) you have to ask there.

  • Help--the format bar has disappeared from the top of my document. When I click on view there is no option to "show format bar." I can't print or make changes.

    I keep repeating the same question on this forum. For the fourth time, how do I get back the format bar from my document? View does not give me the option to show, only to hide. I can't print or make changes.

    I READ the user guide, which told me view>format bar>show format bar. I am talking about the bar that shows how to set the format-- font, spacing, etc. That has gone gray, and eliminated all the settings so I can't alter the settings or print.
    Mari,
    We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
    Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
    Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

  • How to open Viewer from other apps? - App 'URL Scheme' has disappeared from Viewer Builder!

    Hello
    The 'URL Scheme' option in the Viewer Builder did let me to specify a url that made other apps open my viewer. But this option has disappeared from the newer version of Viewer Builder. So. How do I do now to let other apps open my viewer?

    Is there a spacial reason that the URL scheme option was taken away from ordinary Multi-issue viewers? It was there in earlier version. I'll explain our situation:
    Our client want to publish corporate information; annual reports etc, with DPS. Not really magazines or newspapers you subscribe to.
    We are making another app where they publish news articles, videos etc. In that app, we want to have a link which opens the viewer with their publications.
    To make this simple thing work, we have to create a 'subscription' to content which is not relly good for subscribing (it is free and announced with push anyway). We also have to tell the client to create Privacy Policys etc for this. A lot of hassle for something we do not really want.
    Any chance that this option will come back in v19?

  • Can customize sequence of file type options while clicking export icon?

    In our project, we are using Vs.net2008 + CrystalReport2008 component.
    But there's an issue while export reports. We are using the standard CrystalReportViewer and show the "export report" icon on the toolbar. When user clicks that icon, it pop-ups the Export Report dialog for save to a file.
    But our customers wish to see the "PDF(.pdf)" at the default file type option not the "(Crystal Reports (.rpt)".
    Is that possible to configure inside CrystalReportViewer?
    Edited by: Mark Uram on Apr 9, 2009 11:19 AM

    Only option is to create your own export button and display then in the order you wish and which export types you want to support etc...
    Thank you

  • Can no longer connect to my network and 'forget network' option has disappeared??

    Can no longer connect to my network and "forget network" option has disappeared???  (Ipod touch 5th generation). This happened on both my children's ipods. We have reset network settings but it doesn't help.

    JEM24 , your suggestion is included in:
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

    Sorry Mindi, also have your tried rebooting your router? That's all. Try that before you attempt to Restore. Cheers.

  • Is there a way we can use Acrobat Standard to assign a password for opening of signed PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

    Prior to implementing DocuSign, we used to scan manually signed document to a PDF file and then store the PDF file in a HR file share.  We would then use Adobe Writer Standard to assign a read/write password to the PDF file.  We now use DocuSign to have documents electronically signed and download the DocuSign PDF in our HR folders.  However Adobe Acrobat Writer does not allow us to assign a password.  It pops up a dialog box saying ""you cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified".  We want to continue being able to store the PDF in our HR file share with passwords to restrict who can view off the share.  Is there a way we can assign a password to the PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

    Thanks Bernd.  We can't assign passwords before signature process starts as people will not be able to open the PDF without knowing the password.  I think we will change our process and simply leave the electronically signed PDF in DocuSign and then "print" the PDF to our local file share for internal HR purposes.  thanks again.

  • How can i change a pdf file type to another file type

    You can copy the contents and paste it into a Word file. Just don't expect everything to transfer or to retain all of the formatting.

  • PDF File Type Icon Not Displaying HELP!!!

    Hey guys!
    I have a quick question that I need resolved. Make sure you READ before you respond as people seem to be having trouble with this one.
    Something happened on my system to where .pdf files aren't displaying the PDF file type image anymore. They're just displaying the Windows default non-associated file icon.
    But the weird thing is that the .pdf file type IS associated with Adobe Acrobat, and when double clicked they DO open in Acrobat.
    I checked inside of Acorbat.dll and the file type icon IS in there...so this is leading me to believe that something is messed up in the registry to where Windows doesn't know to link a .pdf with the icon inside of Acrobat.dll.
    So my question is this...how do I RELINK the .pdf file type with the PDF file type icon located inside of Acrobat.dll???

    Before you start editing the registry try the suggestions given in the FAQ:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbc2da9
    failing that try doing a repair of acrobat from the help menu.
    If still no joy let us know.

  • Yesterday I updated logic pro and my IK Multimedia ARC system has disappeared from the plug in drop down window, how can I get it back, it appears on old files but not new ones

    yesterday I updated logic pro, I have just discovered that my IK Multimedia ARC system has disappeared from the plug in drop down window, can anyone advise how I can get it back. It seems that old logic files where it was previously loaded still have the plug in live, but on a new project file it simply isn't there to select and activate.

    Not sure about your issue. What did you update from and to? Is ARC still in the plugins/components folder?
    I'm an ARC user too. I have it plugged in to Audio Hijack Pro which is set to hijack audio from Logic. This way ARC is after logic and you don't have to remember to bypass the plugin before you bounce.

    If Word is actually gone (apps don't just disappear) then you can download a copy of LibreOffice, it is free, and Word compatible.
