Above is the link to the manuals, software, and drivers for your printer.
uninstall the printer, reinstall it, and if the option to scan to pdf hasn't returned consult the manual.

Did you install the HP software that came with the scanner? I believe it is called the "HP Solution Center". If so, you can open this program to scan. Once you scan the item, you will have the option of where to save the file.

Make sure the HP Photosmart's driver is successfully installed to your computer. Then click the Start button, All programs, Accessories. There should be a Scanner and Camera option. Just click for that one and follow the wizard to scan your document and save it to your computer.

Just put the paper on the top of the scanner then cover it. After that goto the program of your scanner then open the program and click scan then wait until they could finished to scan your paper.

TWAIN is a backgroung program on which the software for your scanner is based and needs it. Apparently your All-in-one installer didn't had it (or was corrupted somehow).Get it from here
