How do you scan to a .pdf? It seems that I can only scan to a .jpg or .tiff, etc.

The Samsung printer I had before this one, did. You scanned from the printer and it would show up on you computer as a PDF. I cannot figure out how to do it on this one. I scan and the print a PDF printer software. It's frustrating.

Yes. First you have to save the document as PDF, which will result in a single PDF file. If you select jpg, or some other formats such as PNG, etc, you will get separate files. There is no direct capability from Scan Assistant to email the PDF file after scanning. PDF may be emailed from within Apple Preview, or sent as an attachment using a standard email application.

I have scanned my manual as 2 jpeg files. If interested I can email. There is no way to attach the files to this message. So, I have to have an email address.

There are 2 ways. Use the software that came with the printer. Just press the scan button on the printer.

I havent figured out how to scan .. I assume there has to be some programming between it and my laptop ... So only use it for printing and copying. Any advice?

Sorry for the delay. I had to get to my office and test your question. It does have a PDF button that allows you to scan multiple pages and then click "finish" which converts all the pages into a PDF file and saves it into a folder that you have preset in the settings.

The only way I have used it is to do the scan, then attach the scanner to the computer via USB and drag and drop the JPG or PDF to the computer to open the document. I've been very satisfied all aspects of the scanner. Because I work out of town a lot and scan large blueprints and maps, I purchased a 32GB memory card as insurance. Max Schnepf at maxks1@cox.net

Had the same problem. Printed fine but no scanning. Installed drivers, Scangear toolbox, etc etc etc. Finally tried plugging it in to my wife's Win8.1 laptop (which had no special canon drivers or anything) and it worked on the first try.

Hi there. This scanner saves in the following formats: BMP, JPEG, JPEG2000, Multi-page TIFF, PDF, PNG, Single-Page TIFF, and XPS. Enjoy!

no, you cannot scan images for this software. You need a digitalizing software and from what I have found out, several thousand dollars for it :(

I had the same issue until I open a software program and scan it and it appear on that program as a file that I can edit. I advise you to open a program and then use the m.scanner. it works like a normal scanner.

The default setting is set to save everything as a pdf file. After looking into it, I found out that you and change the setting to save as a picture file (.jpg). I changed it to save as a .jpg file, and just finished scanning over 1,700 photos with ease. It will scan the pictures about as fast as you can load it too! Note: It has a 100 picture limit so you need to save them in your computer when you get close to 100, then you can start over.

I want to scan old pictures to my computer. If logos and graphics don't come as expected I am skeptical about photos. Has anybody attempted pictures?

I haven't tried that with the scanner, but I would assume so. There are also plenty of freeware out there that allows you to combine multiple images into one pdf document, etc

Thanks for this tip. It appears to truly index the CONTENTs of PDF files & a bunch of other formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, HTML, WordPerfect, text, ZIP files and OpenOffice) and indexes JUST the filenames of other formats (GZ, HLP, RAR, SWF, TAR, VSD, SXD, MHT) - see tinyurl for yju73uq for a list of all formats supported in both ways. For $49 you get a really useful tool for ALL your files (professional version of Copernic Desktop Search just adds indexing of Lotus Notes & eases deployment, don't care about either). I'll report back on how this works out.

You can easily scan a mufti-page document to PDF using the ADF (automatic document feeder) and included software. I prefer to use Adobe Acrobat professional to do the task (Create PDF with scanner) as it works best in my workflow. Tip: the Paperport software included really sucks and uses non-standard formats for saving documents. There is an option on installing the drivers to skip it. I recommend you do as it adds startup overhead for software you will never use.
