Scanning directly to a .pdf document

I just bought a new computer (with Windows 8) and installed Adobe Reader XI.  With that Adobe product is it possible to scan directly into .pdf documents?  Or must one upgrade/buy to some other version of Adobe?  I used to be able to scan directly to .pdf documents from my scanner/printer using file/create pdf/from scanner  but that route doesn't appear available now.

If you did that using an Adobe product, it wasn't Reader. More than likely Acrobat.
But, you're scanner may have software that will scan directly to PDF. I'd check with the manufacturers.

  • Direct print a pdf document when download from a website

    Hi, all
    Is that possible to print automatically when a pdf is download from a website with a acrobat plugin?

    Don't think it is possible. If so, it would be with JavaScript. Be prepared to get complaints -- I sure would.

  • How do you scan pages into an existing PDF document?

    Older versions of Acrobat would let you scan additional pages right into the currently opened PDF file and would ask do you want to insert before/after document start and after a certain page number.
    Now we have the newer version of Adobe and I have found out that you scan scan a document into a new PDF file and save it and then import it into the currently open PDF but isn't there a way to do this direct without creating a new PDF file like the older versions did?
    Thanks

    Hello!
    To scan directly into the pdf file should go to:
    Panel "Tools" / Insert  Pages / More Insert Options / Insert from Scanner / ...
    You can also right-click the tool "More Insert Options" and select Add to Quick Tools.

  • When viewing a pdf document how do I change the default or pre-set magnification?

    Anytime I am directed to a pdf document by a website it opens the pdf file at 173% magnification. It tells you to open the menu to change the pre-set magnification, but I don't see a menu to open.

    Maybe you did not include enough information in your question or your question was not specific enough since your reply indicates that you have already asked the question and have received an unsatisfactory answer. Please attach a screen shot demonstrating the magnification. Also include written information about where you are seeing the 173% or other magnification value that you are seeing on the image that you attach.

  • Opening Secured PDF documents in Adobe Reder 9.0

    Dear Forum Members,
    In our organisation, the links to the HR Policy documents are provided in our intranet. These documents are in PDF format protected with password. Also these documents are protected from Saving and Printing.We never face any security problems (No Save, No Tool Bars, Menu Bars, No Windows Controls and No Printing) till date using Adobe reader versions prior to ver 9.0. But our organization has recently upgraded the Adore Reader to 9.0. Now the users are able to save these PDF documents in their local systems and do printing also.
    We don't want to system to prompt for "Save or Open" where the PDF documents are clicked. It should directly open the PDF document
    If anyone of you can provide a solution, it will be a great.
    Thanks and Warm Regards,

    Also these documents are protected from Saving and Printing.

  • Scan additional pages into a PDF document

    I have a PDF document which I created by scanning pages into it. I have re-opened the document and want to scan additional pages. Is there any way I can do this that does not involved scanning into a new document and either dragging the pages into my original, or combining the document. In other words, can I scan pages directly into an open document?

    You can append your scans to a document. Specify the output option in the scan dialog of Acrobat.

    Hi melisaf76024648,
    Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
    Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.

  • Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

    Hi,
    I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
     screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
    Download PDF document with the problem
    What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
    I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
    My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
    What do you mean by saving it as a document?

  • Getting Canon 4770 to scan multipages into a PDF file while using the document feeder

    Hi All
    I'm new to this forum.  So if I break any rules with my questions below, kindly forgive me.
    But my questions are about my Canon MF4770 printer.
    1.  Why can't I used the document feeder to scan multiple pages into one PDF file?
    2.  Why do I have to constantly select the remote scanner option when the printer is connected to my computer?
    Any help I can get will be very appreciated.
    Starlene

    Hi Starlene and welcome to the Canon forum,
    The ability to scan multi-page documents can depend on your operating system and version, and if the scanning software being used supports the feature.  However, the MF Toolbox application that accompanies your laser product offers this option when scanning via a USB connection to your computer.
    For example, if you are using Windows, below are the steps that would be performed:
    1.  Place documents.
    Note: Up to 35 documents can be loaded in the feeder.  Be sure to fan the stack, place it face up, and align the document guides to the width of document.
    2. Press [SCAN].
    3. Press [^] or [v] to highlight <Remote Scanner>, and then press [OK].
    The machine is now waiting to be scanned.
    4. Double-click the [Canon MF Toolbox 4.9] icon on the desktop.
    The MF Toolbox starts.
    5. Click [PDF].
    Select [PDF (Multiple Pages)] in [Save as Type].
    7. Specify the required settings as needed and click [PDF Settings].
    The [PDF Settings] dialog box appears.
    8. Specify the required settings as needed and click [OK]:
    [Create Searchable PDF] Converts the characters in the document to text data and makes the PDF document searchable with keywords.
    [Text Language] Select the language of the text to be scanned. The characters may be recognized more accurately if you select [English] from the drop-down list and set [Image Quality] to [300 dpi] or higher in [Scanner Settings].
    [PDF Compression] Select [High] for color images such as photos or illustrations to reduce file sizes.
    9. Click [Start].
    Note:
    A folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY PICTURES] folder in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder, and your document will be saved in this folder. If there is no [MY PICTURES] folder, the folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder and your document saved in this folder.
    For text documents or black-and-white documents, it is recommended you select either [BLACK and WHITE] or [GRAYSCALE] in [SCAN MODE].
    If making a Multiple PDF with color documents ([IMAGE QUALITY] set to [300 dpi]), it is recommended that the PDF have fewer than 20 pages.
    The MF toolbox can be loaded from your software CD or downloaded here from the "Drivers & Software" tab on the Canon USA website.
    I can understand some confusion on having to select "Remote Scanner" when you have a direct computer connection to your product.  The reason for this is that first, the "Remote Scanner" mode refers to seeing your computer as a stand alone, or remote, device; however, the "Computer" scanning mode option allows you to select which computer will be performing a scan when doing so over a network (Max: up to 10 computers).
    Another reason for having to select the scan mode is that the selection is not programmed but selected based on the type of scan you will be performing at the time.

  • Sudden printing problems with scanned pdf documents

    Hi, I suddenly experience problems when I want to print scanned pdf documents.
    Since 2 years, I am using an iMac with a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M and a Samsung ML-2525W. I also use Acrobat Pro 9.0 provided with the scanner. I scan documents, save them as pdfs and print them. Worked fine until just recently. If I print scanned pdf documents, the printer give white pages. Other pdf documents get printed without problems.
    I use OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and ScanSnap Manager 3.2.L63.
    Any advice is highly appreciated

    Hi Roger - the problem was going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. That is when all of the printing problems began, as well as the wifi getting flaky. I was able to get the iMac speaking politely to the printer by installing Repair 10.6.8 and re-adding the Canon printer (see below):
    Printer “failure”
    Probably the single most common 10.6.8 problem, at least as evidenced by a massive 17 page thread in Apple Support Communities, is a failure to print. The typical symptom is that the printer driver software pauses, displaying a message that states something like: “printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed" or “/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed.” Not all printers have this problem, but users report seeing the symptom in a variety of different printers.
    As is often the case with update-related problems, reinstalling 10.6.8 from the combo updater may eradicate the symptom. Another possible solution is modifying a printer file in the /etc/cups/ppd directory (as detailed in the above-linked thread).
    Unfortunately, none of these solutions are guaranteed to work. What does reliably fix the problem is to downgrade back to 10.6.7. If you’d rather stick with 10.6.8, you can instead downgrade just the quartet of printer-related files that appear to be the root cause of the symptom. These are the socket, dnssd, lpd and ipp files, located in the /usr/libexec/cups/backend directory.
    A Mac user wrote an application, Repair10.6.8 (direct download link), that automatically downgrades these four files for you. Several users report success with this program. After running the Repair app, you may also need to “reset printing system” by selecting the command from the contextual menu for the printer name in the Print & Fax System Preferences pane.

  • Scanning directly to PDF on Windows 7 - HELP PLEASE !

    I recently purchased an HP Probook 4540s that runs Windows 7 Professional and then learned that my HP Laser Jet 3052 all-in-one, that had beautifully scanned documents directly to PDF files when hooked-up to my old laptop that ran Windows XP Professional, doesn't scan directly to PDF.  I'm told (but don't know for myself) that's because HP doesn't have a scanning driver for Windows 7 and Microsoft's drivers don't scan to PDF  What can I do to have my 3052 scan PDF directly to my 4540s?  I'm I stuck with having to buy a new scanner and, if so, which one(s) will scan directly to PDF on Windows 7 with an automatic feeder?  Of course I can scan to TIFF and then convert to PDF, but what a hassle and the product is so much less sharp.  Help, please!

    As I'm sure you are aware you've asked in an Adobe hosted forum for Acrobat not a generic Q&A area like Yahoo Answers.
    With that in mind --
    Purchase and install Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
    Visit the HP site to obtain/install  the latest greatest drivers for the scanner.
    If there's an appropriate TWAIN driver Acrobat will be able to "talk" to the scanner to facilitate creationg of PDF from the scanner's output image(s).
    If not then use the scanner's software to output scanned images of textual content to TIFF.
    Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF files.
    Alternatively you may want to give a look-see to Adobe's online subscription services.

  • How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

    My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
    I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
    When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1.  On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
    Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
    I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi BH,
    I see your diagram.  I just scanned something.  The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram.  The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram.  I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
    I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
    Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
    I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance.  That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
    Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
    If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
    Thanks,
    Mark  

  • Can commenting tools be used for a PDF document created by scanning another document?

    I have Adobe Reader X.  It has commenting tools.  I
    created a PDF file by scanning another docu
    ment (a newpaper clipping) to the PDF file for an attachment to an Email. I am not able to use the highlighting tool on the new PDF document.  Since I was the author of the PDF document in this case (but obviously did not use Adobe Acrobat to create it), can I somehow enable use of commenting tools for the document?

    The highlight tool works for highlighting text that is in the document (as text objects). Images of text, which is what you get with a scan, cannot be highlighted with this tool, even if you had Acrobat.

  • Scan multiple pages into a single PDF document?

    How can i scan multiple pages into a single multipage PDF file?
    I've seen similar questions posted, but I haven't found any good answers. The only advice i saw was to scan each page as a separate PDF document, then merge them into a single PDF using third-party software.
    Obviously, i don't want to have to do that.
    I can't believe that there really is no way to do it using the existing HP print/scan utilities provided with the hardware.
    My printer/scanner is the "HP Photosmart 5514 e-All-in-One Printer - B111h", and i'm running Vista (64-bit) on an HP Pavillion notebook.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    From the HP Scan software (Start > Programs > HP > HP Photosmart 5510 Series > HP Scan) select PDF and ensure the resolution is 300 DPI or lower.
    Ensure the Show Scan Preview option is checked and click on Scan.
    Once scanning the first page completes, place the next page on the glass and click the plus button below the scan preview...
    Once you are done click on Save.
