a Scanning quickly

Citygirl1

Hi, I have an all in one printer copier scanner and am trying to scan some notebooks I have kept over the past ten years or so.

Is there any way of doing this quickly? Each page takes a while to scan and each page goes into a separate document on my laptop rather than just one document. Is there any way around this?

You don't say which scanner , Canon's have software that will create multi-page pdf's

As above, this will depend on make/model, but in some cases if you set the scanning resolution (usually expressed in DPI) to a lower value it will be quicker.

But obviously check the resulting image to make sure it's still good enough to read!

Scanners usually have the option to scan in as "TIFF" this allows multi-page tiff's
Tiff's allows the adding of "tags" and other information to the file.
