Q&A for How to Scan Documents Into PDF

When you save your PDF, you can select the destination of where it saves to, like the desktop or your downloads folder. You can also rename a PDF after it has been scanned.

First, save all the pages as a PDF in one large document. Then, go to "Tools," open "Organize Pages," and select "Extract." You can then select "Extract pages as separate files." Each page can then be renamed and saved to any destination.

When you scan your documents, they usually go into a 'scanned documents' folder. So to attach it to an email, just click on attach and then in Documents you just find that document and attach it.

You need to download a PDF reader, such as Adobe or Foxit. Alternatively, your scanner should be able to handle a variety of file types, like .jpg (JPEG) or TIFF.

You need Adobe DC Pro to do that. It's not free, but you can download a 7-day free trial.

Where does the file end up? If you can find the file in your file explorer (Windows Explorer), then you should be able to rename it right there by right-clicking on it and choosing "Rename" or by selecting it with a single left click and choosing "File > Rename."

You will have to scan each page but once you have them all scanned, grab the original image files from the scan directory (mine was in c:\documents\scanned documents) and highlight them all and right click and press print. Choose print to pdf then change the printer options to Portrait instead of landscape (if thats the orientation you want) and hit Print. You will have all the pages in one PDF document. Please note the order of pages goes by the order you have them in the directory so be careful as it may have it misordered.

In the bottom right corner, click options, which is in blue text. Then, go to printer properties. A menu should show up showing its layout where you can switch it from landscape to portrait.

Open your preferred mail client like Gmail or Thunderbird and drag and drop the PDF file into it and enter the recipient's email address and hit send.

Use Google Drive scanner or Adobe Scanner or Office Lens for that. Follow the steps in that page's support articles to know for each app.

Try scanning a multi-paged document into a .tiff file. Then open the .tiff file, presses the print button at the top left, and it will show a screen with all the pages. Use the print to .pdf option.
