I seem to have a problem scanning on the KM C351. When scanning a multiple page document I recieve 1 .pdf file per page. This happens whether or not Seperate Scan is selected. Right now the scan are sent via SMP(I hope this is the right terminiology). This also happened when the files were sent via email. How do I get it to scan into 1 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.

Select continuous scan and also multi-page tiff or pdf file format

To do this will take a few steps.

1. You need to install a PDF printer driver on your computerfirst. There are quite a few freeware PDF writer programs on the Internet youcan download one such as CutePDF.
To download Cutepdf PDF printer driver (freeware) click onthis link :- http://www.cutepdf.com/
2. Scan the first page then click on File - Save the image as a jpg file Eg. image1.jpg

3. Repeat the scan the next page and save the image file Eg. image2.jpg

4. Repeat step 3 for the other pages.

5. Close the scanner when finished scanning.

6. Open a Word document then place each image file on a new page in the Word document

7. Save the Word document (not necessary).

8. Click on File - Print then select CutePDF printer (or your PDF printer driver) and save the PDF file. This PDF file will contain the multiple pages of the scanned pages.

Hi

If you have a Top feeder on the scanner, you can scan mutiple pages. Change the setting of the scanned file to pdf file (not JPEG) by going to the scanner icon and change the type of file you want to scan. Scan it as PDF FILE and then it will scan multiple pages. Regards

Scanned to one file is only supported for Document Scan type ( you should choose shortcut with scan type =Document) and you should make sure that the box "Create one file per scanned page..." (in the Save to file Options) is unticked

1. Open the HP Solution Center 2. Click Scan Document 3. Document to PDF File 4. Change Settings 5. Save to File Save Options 6. Make sure One file per scanned page is not checked. 7. Click, OK > Scan 8. Ofter first page is scanned, position next page on scanner, then click Add Page. 9. Keep doing step 8 until all pages scanned. 10. Click Finish.

You must get an Adobe program to do that... OR combine them later. Adobe Professional 8 will allow scanning multiple pages into a document I use it all the time. There are also other PDF makers/converters too, to download. Another way is to scan into Word, or similar, and then "Print" as a PDF.

i thinks most scanners will let you press "Enter" for each page to scan multiple pages and then press "Finish" to actually start scanning.. this should print everything into one document

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!
