WC7845 Scan to PDF Compression type

Hi We have a WC7845. With the Scan to PDF feature, we can select between 3 different levels of compression, but the type of compression is always the same: JBIG2. Is there a way to change the compression for Scan to PDF to CCITT? Thank you,-Dean

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.

Using an F2100 printer & can't scan to pdf there is no option in the file type menu there used be ?

Using an F2100 printer & can't scan to pdf there is no option in the file type menu there used be ? I'm using xp but had an hp update and have the problem tried unistalling and reinstalling the HP software and even using system restore to be the update .I hope it is just a setting or something simple. Is there another software I can use ? Many thanks

Follow steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial and you will be able to get a jpg file for each of your book's pages inported into iPhoto: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book. If you don't have the Automator workflow Save PDF to iPhoto (which should be in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder) you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

HP Envy 4500 Scan to PDF; Windows 8.1 on HP Pavilion x360

I need to scan into a pdf file rather than jpeg, png, tiff, etc. I used to be able to do this with my old printer and computer, and I'm finding it hard to believe that I can't do it with my new one! Probably I am missing something obvious, but I haven't found a good solution on the Forum Search. Apparently I must use a work-around using different software to convert my scanned images to pdf? Please, tell me that HP has a fix that I can download! Or, please give me some detailed info that I have a chance of doing with Windows 8.1, Touch Screen. Thanks in advance....

Thank you for your help. I think I have loaded the driver onto this computer, but it was six months or so ago. Everything works (printing and scanning) except that I cannot scan into pdf. When I choose "Documents," I get a message that Windows cannot load my scan profile, that my profile settings might not be compatible with this scanner, that it will scan using default settings. Then, when I continue, it gives me only four choices for file type, bitmap, png, jpeg, and tiff, even though it still says it is scanning a document. Some of the other questions in the forum led me to think that perhaps I had just chosen a printer that would not scan to pdf. Your answer leads me to believe that I need to go back and reload my driver, if I am understanding you correctly. If I don't hear anything different from others, I will certainly try that! Thanks!

Which Approach?---Scan into JPEGs and then save as PDF or scan into PDF?

I am now learning to use my Canon Pixma MX870. I installed the full suite of Canon printing, scanning, faxing and whatever else software they provide for this all-in-one.
There are several different ways you can approach things with this machine which makes it a little confusing. You can do things with a one touch kind of method or you can delve deeper into the menus and adjust lots of settings.
Right now I am working on scanning documents into PDFs. The Canon software lets me create multipage PDFs which is something I've been wanting to do. My question is, is it best to scan images as JPEGs and then save them as a multipage PDF or is it best to scan into PDF directly (which the scanner seems to offer as well) and then save as a multipage PDF? I'm thinking in terms of the best optimization of file size vs. image quality and things like that.
Is the scanner actually doing anything differently when scanning into JPEG vs. PDF? Or is the scanning all the same and it's just the saving of the file that is different?
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
Thanks!

Steve M.

Maybe you don't need that. I prefer using Apple's Image Capture for scanning.

Let the software do it for you. That will be fewer steps for you. Image-based PDFs are going to be large. There is no way around that. If they are too large, you can use Preview's Save As feature and play around with the Quartz Filter.

Scans are scans. The JPEG file format is lossly and will look worse than other types. If you are scanning in photographs, the JPEGs will look good. If you are scanning in crisp text, JPEGS will have lots of artifacts and look bad.
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
I pretty much always keep it at 300 unless I need something special or when the original is really small and I intend to blow it up.

7520 Scan to .pdf

I have a HP 7520 and it does not give me an option to select .pdf to do my document scanning. The only options for File Type in the edit profile are .bmp, .jpg,.png,.tiff. These are the only options under both photo and documents. How to I get the .pdf added so I can scan to a .pdf. I don't know why this is not a standard options and have not been able to find an answer to this question anyplace.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I should think you would have the option to scan to PDF with the Printer software.
If you have not done so for a while, please do (re)install the Full Feature Software for the printer:

HP Scan 1 bit scan to pdf embeds images as jpeg rather than tiff

Using HP Scan (latest version to date of 32.30.198.49673) and scanning in 'Black and White' to PDF (not 'Searchable PDF'), the image is embedded into the PDF as a jpeg (!!!), which means that the file is much larger than it needs to be, as it could go in as a lossless 1 bit tiff file. The image in the PDF looks like a 1 bit image, but 1 bit jpegs do not exist of course.
So, on a medium high image quality setting I get a file size (for a particular document) of 546KB, whereas the same scan to 1 bit tiff (on the same device with using HP scan) is 36kB (15 times smaller)
To be sure that it was embedding the scanned image as a jpeg instead of a tiff I set the file quality to low and you could see the jpeg compression artifacts which were a mixture of greys - thereby proving that it was a greyscale jpeg (of course, 1 bit jpegs don't exist), even though, visually, it looks just like a 1 bit scan in all other ways.
How can I get HP Scan, when I choose 'Black and White' to 'PDF', to embed the image as a 1 bit Tiff file, rather than a greyscale jpeg? I don't really want to store a file that is 15 times bigger in file size than it needs to be.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello @markp4000,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you would like the images saved as a .tiff instead of a .jpeg, when you scan to PDF.
Unfortunately there is no option to change how HP's software creates the PDFs.
You will most likely need 3rd party software to optimize your scanning results.

Hi @plasie ,
I see by your post that you no longer have the option to save the scan as a PDF, since upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit.
I would like to help.
The drivers are a Hostbase Plug and Play drivers. There isn't a Full Feature Software driver with the extra scanning software for saving the scans to a PDF format. You would have to use a Third Party Software.
You can download a scan to PDF software, by doing a search over the internet.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Where we do attach scanned invoices(PDF) in MIRO.

Hi,
Following is the requirement,
What we want is the ability to attach a scanned invoice (pdf) to the IR. Without this we would have two separate filing systems u2013 attached invoices in SAP for PO items and hard copy filed for non-po invoices.
Is there any option in MIRO to attach Scanned invoice( PDF). Please give your valuable thought on the same.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi, I just found some hints about it:
- Please check this threat: Archivelink to archive an image and link it to a parked MM invoice via RFC
- If you introduce your paper invoice in an archiving system, you must assign the invoice document. For that, use the barcode.
You can assign a document type in paper to each document type from all societies.
In the customizing for entering barcodes, you can specify is entering barcodes is activated and if the system must check the entered barcode according to the document type and user.
- Check the SRM workflow, if appropiate, I mean, if you use it.
-In Invoice Verification, you can store inbound and outbound documents in external storage
systems using SAP ArchiveLink.
The scanned documents are stored in an external storage system and linked to the relevant R/3
documents. You can display the stored documents from the display of the R/3 documents. Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ish471/helpdata/EN/78/ee034b0eb811d3b6ee0000e82de955/frameset.htm

Scan to pdf C7280 not available after windows 8.1 upgrade

After upgrading to 8.1, my program from HP no longer worked. Now I cannot scan to PDF on my HP C7280. my only option now is to scan to JPG or some other useless file type for documents. I have loaded and reloaded and reloaded the updated driver and complete solution package but it will not finish installing to show me the same HP software I had before, I have to resort to the windows version supplied with Windows 8.1. PLEASE help!!!!

Hello gard1104,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you no longer have an option to "Scan to PDF" using the Photosmart C7280. I will do my best to assist you! I realize you have uninstalled/reinstalled the software already. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? Let's try a couple of steps:
Please perform a "Level Three Uninstall" on your computer: (If you have this printer connected by a USB cable, then remove this cord from computer.
a) On the keyboard, hit the Windows key and "R" together. In the Run box type in %temp% and hit enter.
b) Locate the correct folder starting with "7z" (the correct folder contains "Util" and "CCC" folders).
c) Open folder "Util".
d) Open folder "CCC".
e) Please run the L3uninstall.bat.
f) When the uninstall has completed, restart the computer.
Also, make sure Adobe Reader is installed on your computer. Please follow this HP document on The PDF File Type Is Not an Option When Scanning from HP Solution Center in Windows. Only perform "Solution Two" from this document.
Next, please perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. Restart the computer once this step is completed. Now, you want to install the full feature software from the HP website here. Choose your correct operating system; Either 32 bit or 64 bit.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Compression type in AVDocSaveOptimized

We are using “AVDocSaveOptimized” acrobat SDK API for reducing PDF size. “Standard” parameters are used.
In Standard parameters, we have JPEG compression type for colored images. We feel that some quality loss will be there in PDF images after saving. Because we will perform some more images processing operations after Optimize PDF save operation, so we are expecting more quality loss.
Is there any possibility to use PNG compression type instead of JPEG compression type?

Sorry, don't see the relevance of your point to compression type in AVDocSaveOptimized. If you have a new question, please start a new topic, as otherwise it becomes very confusing (and the wrong people get emails).

MFP M127fn - Can't Scan to PDF

I just bought this MFP and I can't figure out how to set it up to scan to PDF. I installed the software from the CD, then tried installing software from the web site. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and still don't have the option to scan to PDF. I found a post from 7-29-2014, but didn't understand the statement: "Once the HP Scan is software, click on Save as PDF." I've spent half of a Saturday researching and trying any solution I could find, but still no luck.

Hi @JanieBird ,
I see that you are having issues scanning to a PDF format. I will do my best to help you.
Here is a document for scanning with the HP Scan Software.
Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software for HP LaserJet Multifunction Printers.
This is a screen shot of the HP Scan Software that you should see. You will see all the options for scanning to. Disregard the model number.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
