Canon mx410 how to scan multiple pages into one document

One of two things I can suggest:

1. make sure you are not scanning in JPEG or TIFF format as these are typically single page documents only. PDF is your best option for scanning.

2. Check settings, as some scanning software has an option that you can turn on or off depending on whether you want a single file with all pages or multiple files each containing a page.

You have an option to create a multipage (PDF) file or single images. Please select appropriate option.

In order to scan a multi-page document into a single file, you must configure the scan to use a file type that supports multi-page documents. For illustrated instructions of how to scan multiple pages into one file instead of each scan being saved as a separate file go to here:

When Save as PDF file is selected: The Save as PDF file dialog box opens. Specify the file type, file name and destination folder.
Select from the following PDF file types:
PDF When multiple images are selected, each image is saved as a separate PDF file. PDF(Multiple Pages) Multiple images are saved in one PDF file. PDF(Add Page) Selected images are added to a specified PDF file. The images are added to the end of the PDF file. You cannot rearrange pages of the PDF file to which images are added.

Hi There !!

Thank you for choosing fixya.com

It is possible to scan different batches scanned from the ADF into one PDF file. When loading more pages in the ADF after the first realm is finished, it asks if you want to continue scanning to the same file. After that, it will continue scanning to the same file. However, this feature can be selected in the Adobe Acrobat application itself. From HP software, if we load the paper after one realm of paper in the ADF is finished, it will scan the second realm to a different file. If you want to continue scanning to the same file, you need to have either Acrobat Exchange or Adobe Acrobat installed on the computer. Adobe Reader will not provide this feature. After installing either Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Exchange, perform the following steps to scan pages to a single file:

1. Make sure your scanner is turned on.
2. Start Acrobat Exchange or Adobe Acrobat.
3. Put the document into the scanner (usually face down on the scan bed).
4. In Adobe Acrobat, click File , then Import , and Scan .
5. Select the device and whether you are scanning a single- or double-sided document.
6. The scanning software opens and the scanner completes a preview scan.
7. When the preview scan comes up, make any adjustments you would like, including selecting the area you want to appear in the final scan.
8. Click Scan . This will get the final scan into the computer.
9. Your scanning software should take you back to Adobe Acrobat.
10. In Adobe Acrobat, you should see a small window asking you if you want to scan another page. If the document you are scanning has more than one page, click the Next Page button. If this is the only page, click Done .
    NOTE: Scanning multiple pages causes each page to append to the previously scanned page. If you have multiple pages, but want them to be in different files, click Done after each page to create separate files.
11. When you have scanned the last page, click Done on the window described in step 10.
12. Your scanned pages will open in Adobe Acrobat. Scroll through to make sure that everything is there.
13. Click File , and then Save As to name your file and save it.

Still unable to figure out, How to do this? Here are some tutorial on HP website that might help.

Hope this would help.

Open your Adobe Acrobat (e.g., 9.0 Pro), load your pages into the document feeder (fewer than 30 at a time), then ask Adobe Acrobat to create PDF from scanner (File/Create PDF/From Scanner). Canon MP530 as the scanner and click OK. Works like a charm!

Scanning a multi-page document as a .pdf file reverts the settings for rotation, selected area, etc. to default for any pages after the first page. This applies to Mac OSX 10.3, 10.4, & 10.5. A simple, but tedious work-around is to scan each page as a separate file and easily recombine them using OSX Preview. Just open the first page, view the Sidebar, and drag-drop the additional page files into the sidebar. Save and it's all one multi-page .pdf.

The supplied Canon software is horrible, but it can be done!

Launch ScanGearStarter, choose advanced tab and click preferences button, then select scan tab.
Untick box "Automatically quit ScanGear....." then click ok.
(This box being ticked totally prevents multipage single file scanning).

Now choose simple mode tab, select the document type, dpi and document size.
Now click the green "Multi Scan" button, place the document on the scanner glas and press next in the new window.

The page will be scanned and the ScanGear window will return, just click "Multi Scan" again and place next document, press next. Keep repeating until all pages are scanned, then close the ScanGear window.

This will bring up a third window showing thumbnails of each page, any of these pages can be deselected if required.
The other important step is to choose from the pull down list Saved as Type: "MultiPagePDF".

Choose the location for saving the file and click save.
Hallelujah! .......stupid software.

The pages you scan in are each individual "pictures" which are very different than the text in the everyday word processing file. What you can do is to make a new word processing document and insert each of the scanned pictures into this new document in order. This will allow you to print all the pages in one job by printing the word processing document. As far as I know there is no way to scan all of the pages into one single file.
