How do I create a single PDF document from multiple scanned pages?
I have a number of pages that I want to scan into a single PDF document. When I scan pages they each become a separate PDF document that I must then merge to create a single document. Is there a more efficient way to perform this operation?
The From Image Files option can be used for this purpose:
1. Under the Convert Tab, Click From Files > From Image Files:
The Image to PDF dialog box will open.
2. Click Import:
The Scan Properties dialog box will open:
- Native Mode uses a single memory buffer. This is the default and fastest mode, and is compatible with the broadest range of scanners.
- Memory Mode enables the use of multiple memory buffers. This is a useful function in cases where memory is low and/or when large images are being scanned.
- Color Mode has four options: Auto detect, Color, Grayscale and Black & White. These refer to the format of scanned documents.
- Resolution sets the dpi (dots per inch) of scanned documents.
- Paper Size refers to the size of the paper used when scanning. Click Setup for further options, which are as follows:
- The Automatic option determines the paper size automatically.
- The Standard option contains standard sizes such as those used by the ISO and ANSI.
- The Custom option can be used to enter custom dimensions.
1. Click Create PDF in the Categories menu, then right-click Create PDF from Images and click Run:
