Saving Scanned Documents as PDF's

I have a new HP Officejet L7590 All in one printer. My last
HP 6210 had an option in the "Scan To" window under the "File
Type"/"Save As" drop down menu for PDF's. My new HP only has "Save
As" "File Type" options of "GIF", "Bitmap", Tiff & Tiff
Compressed. Is there a way to import or make a PDF option item in
the drop down menu or way to Scan/Save documents as PDF's from my
scanner? My OS is XP and I am running Adobe Reader 9.

Saving Scanned Documents to PDF

I am currently unable to save a scanned document to PDF after scanning. I choose save or save as and nothing happens. No screen pops up asking where to save the scanned document.
Windows 7 64bit and 32bit, Kodak Scanner I30 I40, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. Any help would sure be appreciated.

I am sorry. Thought I was very clear. Where this is taking place is in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. I assumed you would know I was trying to save the scanned document to PDF after using the create a PDF from a scanner. That is why I listed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. I am able to print the scanned document to a PDF. This is happening on multiple machines with the configurations I listed in my first question. Windows 7 64bit and 32bit, Kodak Scanner I30 I40, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 10. Enough Information?

Convert scanned document into PDF

I have PDF Pack and am trying to convert a scanned document to PDF and ultimately to MS Word. How is this done?

Hi georges,
If the ultimate goal is a Word document, I would recommend against the additional step of converting to PDF first, if possible. What scanning software are you working with? Does it save in a format that Word can open?
If you don't have access to the scanning software, and saving to PDF is your only option, then you would use ExportPDF (part of Adobe PDF Pack) to convert the PDF file Word. (To convert the file to PDF, choose Create PDF on the menu bar when you're logged in to PDF Pack at https://cloud.acrobat.com.)

Saving scanned documents?

I consistently save scanned documents into my folders. With this new Adobe Reader I use ctrl-shift-save to open and save the document. Before, each time I used ctrl-shift-save it would open up the same folder. Now it takes me back to the beginning and I have to click on the "drive," then click on my another folder, then another, another and another before I get back to the folder where I want to save the document. This takes way-to-much time and I want to go back to the way it was. How do I set the system so I can just continue saving scanned documents to the folder?

There is no control over this. But if it always opens in the same (wrong) folder, stick a shortcut there.

Hey, q about scanning documents to pdf.

Hello all
I want to scan documents to pdf, everday we have about 400 documents shipping documents from our waerchouse and we want to archivizate them in pdf. We need a programm who can scan this documents to pdf and write them in seperate files, on the documents are barcodes, the barcodes could be used to seperate the document. PLZ help and sry for me English.

If you have a scanner, it should come with its own scanning software. Alternatively you can download it from the manufacturer's website.
You can also use Adobe Acrobat to scan documents, which allows you to do text recognition (OCR). However, I have found that the original scanning software allows you much more functions than Acrobat does.

File names when saving scanned documents

When I scan a document and then try and save the same, The scanned document is saved hiwever the name that I give to the scanned document gets truncated. I dont understand why, I am using windows 7

That is a long File Name.
Did you create this long file name system at the same time you started scanning these documents?
You have .pdf and .ld together as the file extension in the image you provided. What is .ld?
Can you go to the file name and rename it to add the other characters and it stays?
If not, I don’t think it’s the HP software doing this. It is most likely Windows.
The only thing I can think of is that Windows uses what’s called an 8.3 file naming convention. It is built into Windows and it shortens long file names for MS-DOS legacy applications. Every long file name has an alias that complies with the 8.3 file names for backward compatibility.
Take a look at this article from Microsoft on truncating names. This will explain what is happening (hopefully).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142982
Also,
Short file names may contain only the following characters:
·         Numbers (0,1-9)
·         Letters (A-Z, a-z)
·         Blank (blank spaces)
·         ASCII characters greater than 127
·         Special characters: $ % ' - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) ^ # &
Long file names may contain only the following characters:
All of the characters supported by short file names
·         Special characters: + , ; = [ ]
Length of the long file names are limited to 255 characters (260 for full paths = the file name and root of the folder) and short file names are limited to 8+3 or 11 characters (80 for full path names).
You can disable the 8.3 convention in Windows but there may be problems with some applications not being able to find files and directories that have long file names.
This Microsoft article explains how to disable 8.3 on NTFS partitions.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/121007
You will need to be logged in as an Administrator on the account. IF this computer is at your employers, you will have to contact their IT support for further discussion.
Go to Start and type CMD in the Search bar. Right click on CMD in the list and choose Run as Administrator.

Saving scanned documents/photos

I have a Canon MG6450 scanner, which I truly despise, but I don't seem to be able to save the scanned stuff anywhere and open it without using Finder or Preview.
Disregarding the scanner doesn't do anything I find at all useful, where am I supposed to save the scans and what do I use to open them? If I save in pictures I can't open them using iPhoto, keynote, pages or any of the programs that arrived with the mac, despite being assured that I could. It's a real pain having to use finder because I can't remember all the dates used or filenames, obviously!
II also have a major problem with email because I haven't worked out how to use Apple's mail client - I'm really that stupid - and hotmail is just the worst for compatibility issues, slowness and just being plain ugly. And nothing from my mac will upload so there's a real problem, I'm just glad I don't depend on it too much for my business, which would be bankrupt if I did.
Anyway, any help will be gratefully received, I really don't want to regret buying an iMac but they are nowhere near as intuitively easy to use as what's claimed, in fact not easy to use at all.

I've been away for a couple of weeks but thank you for your replies, still no nearer to being able to use saved scans or indeed any pdf file that I've downloaded.
Now I know what iPhoto is for I can ignore that completely - thank you Barney - but still impossible to open pdf files with anything other than finder, provided I can find it in the first place! Even then, the option of sharing it is not usually there, and certainly no way of inserting any meaningful text by way of explanation of why a recipient should get a message with the title "This message has no content".
Helpful replies really will be gratefully received (and no, I have no idea how to copy and paste highlighted text on the forum either) but I don't need to be told I have no idea how to use a £1200 mac. Because that's why I'm asking and what the support community is for, so please, just a little shared knowledge because this computer just won't do anything I expect.
I've read the comments above, no good asking me "why not?" because I don't know, only that it should be possible, so I ask again: why can't I open a saved pdf file with pages, keynote or numbers? Or share them? Or attach to an email? Or decide where they're saved? Or decide what the file name is?
It can't be that difficult, I don't need to be subjected to ridicule, simply assisted and maybe I'll be assured a purchase for my business is going to enhance it and not just make a big hole in my accounts ledger.

I only saved my document in PDF, can i open it with Pages again?

Hello,
I have saved my Pages document in PDF and i forgot to save it in Pages...can i reopen my PDF file in Pages again?
Thanks
Syl

I have a Pages v5.1 document that I placed a yellow text background (aka true highlight) on some text. I had one word that was red text with a black underline. Exported this to PDF.
Double-clicked the PDF to open it in Preview. Pressed command+A to select all 7 pages of text, and then command+C to copy it (as RTF) to the clipboard. Opened a new Pages v5.1 document, and pressed command+V to paste from clipboard. The yellow background and red text survived. The custom black underscore did not. Paste and Match Style will strip everything, including formatting, from the clipboard text. Not advisable.
You could also select the text in Preview, and from the Preview > Services Menu, choose New TextEdit Window Containing Selection, if you wanted the content in a different document (.doc/.docx, .rtf, .txt, .odt) format than .pages.

Saving Illustrator documents as PDF's

Hi Adobe Community,
I just recently came across this problem while trying to save an illustrator file as a pdf.
Note that the original file was created on a Mac in illustrator CS6 and saved as a pdf and given to me to edit text on a PC in illustrator CS4.
I didn't have the correct font for a particular text but fortunately I was able to download and install it.
I opened the pdf created in the CS6 version in CS4 and realized that the font for just two letters had changed. I amended the problem by switching to the correct font and saved it as a pdf. When I open that pdf again it shows the same problem. The two letters of a text are different from the original.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any pattern to what the 2 chracters are or formatting on them? What font and technology are they? They may have used an opentype version with more charachters or enabled subsetting of fonts in pdf.
Ask them to send you a .ai file saved down to CS4. Illustrator is not designed to edit .pdf files.

Saving A5 document as PDF

I have created an A5 booklet and want to save it as a pdf for printing. It only seems to save as part of an A4 sheet. ie all my work is in the bottom right hand corner of each pdf page. How do I save it correctly formatted?
Thanks
Joe

Hi Daniel,
I tried on my machine by setting the paper size to A5 in the *Document Inspector>Document*, then go to File>Export... and save the document as PDF, when I view it on Preview/Adobe Reader, it retains the correct paper size. Then I tried using File>Print... and choose *PDF>Save as PDF...*, it also works fine.
I'm not sure the settings in your document, but would like to help you take a look at it. If you want, you can send the Pages document (you can compressed it in .zip file) to me (my email is available when you click on my name) and I shall see what I can do with it.

Saved Pages document as PDF. Now hyperlinks don't work

After saving my newsletter in Pages 09 as a PDF (Print>Compress as PDF) some embedded hyperlinks don't work. Strangely enough, the links to an e-mail DO work, but links to a URL DO NOT. Why is this and what do I do to overcome this problem?

That's a fairly long thread I linked to. Did you get all the way down to this post with a screenshot? I see that others had the same problem you do & it took them a couple of tries to get it working. I would be nice to be able to see what you're doing (or not doing), but we have to make do with words & screenshots.
