Problem with scanning document to searchable pdf in HP Envy 4500

I just bought HP Envy 4500 , overall good printer, but I can't find option for scanning to searchable pdf. I already updated my desktop software and printer's firmware, but still there is no option "scan to searchable pdf". Do i have to download some other software from HP? 

Hello katiemac,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
When you are scanning with the ENVY 4500, how are you doing performing the scan? For example, if you are not using the HP software or scanning from the front panel of the printer you may not be getting all the features.
What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?

  • 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!

  • Problems with scanning documents

    I have a Photosmart 5520 and am using a Mac.  Initially I scan the document and touch to preview.  The doucment looks fine in this view.  However, when I scan the document to my computer I get only parts of the document.  The file comes across as three separate items.  I am not sure why this is happening.  Do I have a setting wrong on the scanner?  The document I am trying to scan has signatures on the page.  The scanner is only picking up the signatures.
    I tried to scan another document and the only thing that came across where the lines spearating the different blocks within the document.
    Please help!  Thanks!

    Try scanning FROM your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

    It seems that these error messages MOD_OC4J_0184 etc are associated with some sort of timeout.
    My problem finally solved - see my comments at:
    Re: FOP
    I would like to see the PDF format using FOP docs made clearer that 2 http servers are involved in this process, one serving htmldb pages and the other oc4j stuff.
    Is it possible to do the PDF format using FOP with only the htmldb http server??

  • Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

    Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

    You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
    You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
    I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
    Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
    You may find this a usueful resource as well:

    PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

  • Problem with scanning - printer display shows "Server connection error"

    My printer has been working great and I have had no problems with scanning.  But two days ago, all of a succen I rec'd message "server connection error".  I tried to send to email as well as computer.  Got the same message.  As usual, I don't recall any action on my part that could have caused this problem.    The copying and printing functions work fine. Detailed advice to someone technically challenged will be much appreciated.  Thank you.

    Ran
    into a problem with connecting to the DB on the SQL server from the IPAM server.  The Dba and I checked the target SQL instance was enabled TCP and listening on a valid TCP port.  SQL server was set to use port 1443 for incoming connections. 
    IPAM was set by default to use 1433. 
    Also used
    netstat-n to identify issue and verified 1443 on SQL server was
    being used.  Made the correction under the IPAM provisioning wizard and connected to the database.  Fixed. 
    Important note I was able to connect to the database with a .udlfile
    without any issues
    Also note that 2012 R2 IPAM only supports 2012 SQL Enterprise.  Why?

  • Problem with scanning in Photoshop CS6 after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to latest version of Mountain Lion i've got a problem with scanning directly into Photoshop CS6.
    on the previous Lion version when I wanted to scan something, i just opened Photoshop -> File -> Import -> images from device
    then a new window opened up the ImageCapture app where I could choose the device I wanted to use, and then I selected the scanner (Canon CanoScan 8400F) and I could scan directly into photoshop.
    Now with Mountain Lion when I do the exact same thing, it opens a window, but it's impossible to select any device, as the new window is just a plain white window, with 2 buttons on top to rotate something that isn't there. (text is in dutch, cause I'm from the Netherlands)
    hope someone can help me out.
    I can scan with the use of the ImageCapture app without problems and then save that picture and open it in Photoshop, but it has worked before, so am I doing something wrong? or is this just a little bug
    thnx in advance for the help

    I’m having the same problem with my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It does the initial overview scan then I get the same blank window as BigNoud shows above. I've done a Software Update and have also updated OSX to 10.8.1.
    I know for the Epson you can get a Mountain Lion compatible scan software from SilverFast for about $35.00 as an upgrade here.
    I haven't gone that route yet as I don't want to give up any more money for my Apple/Adobe experience.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hp 8600 All in one printer problem with scanning through wired network its very slow!

    Hi
        i have problem with scanning thru network which takes almost more than 2minutes very slow compared to scanning when printer connected locally with USB.  i need some solution to fix this issue. Plz advise me what needs to be done prior to scanning? 

    Welcome to the community @Larrypat 
    I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
    Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
    Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
    HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
    Let me know how it goes and the results

  • Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it

    Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it.
    This happens only when a load my pdf file on my server, because if i click on the link when the file is on my iPad, the page opens without problem.
    Any help please?
    thanx

    the % sign is often used when there's a space in a name. HTML doesn't like spaces so it fills them with % or %20
    try, on the end of that link, see if there's a space built into the page or the link when the page was made
    On the web address you may be able to 'backspace' at the end and erase that space to get the address, but whomever made the page possibly put a mistake in the link
