Windows 8.1: Scan to pdf with Epson WF 3520?

I previously ran an HP laptop and scanned multiple page documents to a single file in pdf format on Epson printers.
Recently I purchased a new laptop with Windows 8.1. Scanning to pdf no longer possible, and multiple sheets in the document feeder now emerge as individual png files. How can I get back to scanning to a single pdf?

Hi,
Did you install the latest driver update? I found an FAQ at Epson official site that about Program Compatibility with Windows 8.1. You can take it as reference to upgrade printer driver:
The Program Compatibility Assistant window keeps appearing after I upgraded to Windows 8.1.

For more assistant about this problem, you may need to contact Epson Technical Support for more help.

Windows 8.1 - problem opening pdf with reader

Hi, I am using windows 8.1 (not touch). Every time I try to open a pdf with reader, it brings up a previous document and not the one i'm trying to open. As there are not many menu options with windows 8 I can only close it.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to open pdf files. Thanks in advance

I am having the same problem. Did you ever get a workable solution or anxwer?

How can i use 3d pdf on my mac? Under windows i can open my pdf with 3d animation but under mac it is not possible. İ also check the web site of adobe, but there are no information about it. Please help.

Hello who can help me?
İ need to open the 3d animation pdf. But my mac is not able to open it and my friends have also the same problem.
İ need this information for my work. İt would be very nice if someone could tell me how i can open the 3 d animation .pdf files. Under windows it is no problem, because adope reader is open it. İ also check the site of adobe to find answers, but no results.

If there is no info on Adobe about it, this is probably a case where there is a special 3D plugin that Adobe has access to on your PC. You need to find out what software generated the 3D. Then you can find out if there is an equivalent Mac compatible plugin. That said, you can always run Windows on an iMac Intel if push comes to shove:

HT3669 How can I enable scanning over WiFi with Epson PX-504A?

I have driver 9.00 (9.11?) installed. I am trying to get access to the scanner through wifi.
It seems I can print over WiFi, but the scanner is not connecting.
This works in Linux by installing a network driver and using the Image Scan! software.
How does it work in MacOS?

Hope this is helpful to someone. I have an Epson Xp-300 connected to my MacBook Air through AirPrint/ wifi. The printer doubles as a scanner. When you open up the 'Printers & Scanners' function on the MacBook, you can choose a tab to either print or scan. If you choose scan, you can then choose 'open scanner'. That cranked up the scanner and opened a dialogue box to process the scan. I stuck my photos on the glass, chose 'save to iPhotos', did an 'overview' to make sure all was well and then hit 'scan'. The scanned photos then appeared via wifi in my iPhotos application. Haven't gone past that yet and am still feeling my way but hopefully I'll work out how to stream them to others.

HT1338 Every time I try to use software update the window opens to scan then crashes with an error message.

I am having problems with a BT Yahoo account where the home page opens but it will not let me open e-mail. When you click on mail it takes you to an upgrade page where there is a button for you to continue without upgrading. When you click on that it freezes. To compound this problem I cannot access the upgrade ststem on the Mac itself as it tells me there is an error. I am stuck on 10.3.9 as I purchased a 10.4 upgrade disk (official) ages ago but every time I ran it the computer crashed so I gave up on it. I still require classic on this machine on the odd occassion hence why I am stuck in the past. My iMac runs on 10.6.8 and the mail is accessable on that with no problem. HELP!!

Start up from that Mac OS X 10.4 disc you have. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. On the first Installer screen, from the menu bar, under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility.
In Disk Utility, select your startup volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Run Verify Disk. If it reports a problem, that may be the reason for your long-term difficulties. You hard drive volume has data corruption.
You can try Repair Disk in Disk Utility. However, it would be a very good idea to have a backup of the data on that disk, in case the attempt to repair makes the problem worse.

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.

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:

Adobe Acrobat Pro X Crashes when Trying to Scan to PDF - Epson Perfection v30 on Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 10.0.0
I have a Epson Perfection v30 Scanner installed. I open Acrobat, and when I select Scan to PDF, pick the v30 Scanner, and start the scan, it does actually start and complete the scanning process. However, at the moment where it displays the results of the scan, Acrobat crashes with the following Signature:

We have 8 machines with Acrobat and this Printer, and I am able to repeat this with each system.
Does anybody have any ideas? Is anybody using the Epson Perfection v30 scanner?

Any ideas? there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13. Perhaps if I uninstall it? I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall? I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

Scan to PDF files too large! - Why?? Solution for Windows - How about Mac? (HP-8630)

Scanning a document to a PDF file of reasonable size has been addressed many times - it is always an issue! My wife is a realtor and frequently needs to scan multiple page documents. I found an actual solution last night:
27 page letter-size B&W document - Scan to PDF on my HP-8630 AIO using HP software at 300dpi, small file size, BW: 27MB! Too big to email.
Solution (in Windows 7 at least), if you have Adobe Acrobat:
Open Adobe Acrobat, go to File Menu - Create - PDF from Scanner - Configure Presets. Select and configure "Black and White Document":
Select TWAIN device (NOT WIA) as the scanner; black and white, 300dpi, file size one notch to left (smaller) from center, check "optimize after scan". Select paper size and one- or two-sided scanning. Uncheck "make searchable". Save the preset. (The TWAIN driver was apparently installed with the HP installer, since I did not have to look for it.)
After placing pages in the Doc Feeder, go to File Menu, Create - PDF from Scanner - Black and White Document. Watch the magic!
File size 768k! Quality indistinguishable from the 27MB version, sharp and clear, all 27 pages! Really!
Using the HP software, using a lower resolution or sliding the file size slider to smaller makes a muddy scan, and the file is still huge compared to the Acrobat technique. MUCH worse quality than the Acrobat 768k version.
Interestingly, using Acrobat to open the 27MB scan and "PRINT" it to the PDF Printer reduced the size to 10MB, with no change in appearance. "Save as smaller PDF" did not reduce the size further.
What gives, HP?? What can Acrobat do to scan from your AIO that you can't do?
I tried on my Mac as well - we use both. No go. On Mac OSX 10.10.1 with latest HP drivers, Acrobat does not see any TWAIN or other driver from within the dialog box described above. Scanning from HP software again yields about 1MB per page.
Anyone know how to make Acrobat see the scanner on Mac?

Hi @JosephWit ,
I see by your post that you are having issues with the PDF scanning size being too big. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
The drivers for 10.10 are installed by the Apple Updates. Did you install the 10.9 drivers or are did up run the Apple Updates to install the printer?
Uninstall the 10.9 printer software and run the Apple Updates to install the proper drivers. Then you can scan with the Apple Software.
Connect the printer to the Mac by a USB cable and run the Apple Updates to install the printer drivers.
Go to the Apple, About this Mac, click on the Overview tab and select Software Updates.
Go to the Apple, Printers and Scanners, delete the USB drivers and disconnect the USB cable.
Then add the wireless printer as a Bonjour printer if the printer is networked.
Click on the + sign, highlight the printer, below beside Use: make sure just the printer name is listed. (you might have to click on the drop down to select your printer from the list)
Here is a document for Scanning in OS X v10.10 Yosemite Without HP Software.
If you are having issues with Adobe, run the updates. Product updates.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

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!

Epson scan under Lion with image capture

The first scan I made with image capture at 150dpi appeared usable.
However the letter scanned was no longer white but slightly green and pink and the file size was at 3,8Meg!
A pdf at 150dpi for an A4          :          3,8M
A jpg at 150dpi for an A4          :          549Kb
A pdf at 96dpi for an A4           :          1,5M
A jpg at 96dpi for an A4           :          209Kb
With the Epson Scanner Software I had good rendering and an A4 page was around 100 and 200Kb in jpg or pdf.
What’s going on! The new software caused a 1800% increase in the file size!
I am stuck with my scanner and papers.
The image correction is limited.
The pdf files created are enormous.
There is no way we want to work and start to store this files!
A quick solution is needed to correct the situation.

A bit of history taken from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29
Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator for Mac OS X which allows many PowerPC applications to run on certain Intel-based Macintosh computers without modification. Apple released Rosetta in 2006 when it transitioned the Macintosh platform from the PowerPC to Intel processor microarchitecture. The name "Rosetta" is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, the discovery of which made it possible to comprehend and translate Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Rosetta is based on QuickTransit technology.[1] It has no graphical user interface, which led Apple to describe Rosetta as "the most amazing software you'll never see."[2]
Rosetta was initially included with Mac OS X v10.4.4 "Tiger", the version that was released with the first Intel-based Macintosh models.[3]
Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard" does not include Rosetta by default but retains an option in the installer for the user to include it. It can also be automatically installed by the system if needed at a later time.
Mac OS X v10.7 "Lion" neither includes nor supports Rosetta at all. Therefore, with Lion, the current Macintosh platform drops support for PowerPC applications.
" WIKIPEDIA.
The discs wich came with a scan are mainlly PowerPC.
Epson no more do Scan software, driver yes to be used by Image Capture or other.
They are all the same, want to sell hardware not software.
For me, To stay at a reasonable file size limit, I do clear choice between what will be B&W and color.
In Image Capture : the Black and White can be treated directly in PDF, using:
- Image correction :
     - Contrast to full
     - Brightness one step
With color I have quite no choice, JPEG:
- Image correction
     - Brightness +3
After in a viewer I do a color autolevel.
If I want it in PDF, save in PDF and finally apply a "in house" Filter from ColorSync Utility.
I don't use the built in "reduce file size", it's too extrem and the results are very poor.

Windows 7 Scanning to PDF

Hi,
I have an HP ScanJet 8250 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. I have downloaded the appropriate driver and the PC sees the scanner without problems.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, when I go to Scan to PDF > Configure Presets, I can't change the "Paper Size" to anything other than "Automatic". Is there any way to change this?
The problem is, when I scan an 8.5 x 11 document, it thinks it is an 8.5 x 14 document.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
SBail

I would like to use the software that came with the scanner but it isn't compatible with Windows 7. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is a version available that is compatible with Windows 7.
This is an older scanner and I'd rather not have to replace it.
Thanks.

Trouble with epson scanning in Snow Leopard

My shiny new iMac has managed to cope with most of my elderly applications but I cannot seem to get my Epson scanner to be recognised by photoshop elements. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Epson latest drivers - all to no avail so far. Outside PE I can access the Epson Scanner window okay and scan from there but I really would like it all as it was before. Has anyone else had this or similar problems?

Many thanks Barbara. I thought that this must be the case because I have performed all the actions that the Epson guy told me to do but with no luck.
Whilst on the subject, and seeing as you know what you are talking about, how do I set my iMac to choose PSE (as a default) to open all my graphic files? Despite me using the 'Open With' option and saving them in PSE, the next time I double click on the graphic file it opens in Preview.

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.

Hi Jorg ,
Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

Hi Anton,
thank you for your advice.
In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
Thx
Peter
