How to scan documents into 1 file (1 after the other)

blackcloud

Hello all,

I scanned about 10 pages of a document into a PDF file format and they are all separate, but I want to get them all in the same file in a PDF ie one after the other. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thanks all in advance!

The old fashioned reliable way was to scan them in as a "TIFF" file rather than a PDF.

Most scanners can save as TIFF files, as they can hold multiple images inside a single file. You then convert that TIFF to a PDF.

It very much depends on the utilities (if any) built in to your scanner, and there's a lot of variation. The old flatbed scanners relied on software on the computer to combine pages, but many of the newer all-in-one printer / copier / scanners have software built into them to do this.

If you are using Adobe, you can merge them together. I have the function to do that on my scanner but that comes with the software.

My Samsung all in one combines them at the scanning stage.

If scanning in PDF format it will combine scans into a single file until you tell it you're done.

https://www.pdfbuddy.com/ has a merge feature so you can combine the stuff you've done.

I found this recently when I wanted to make one pdf from 3 scans. It did it free but there was some message or other about credits so it would maybe want you to go through some hoops if you've got a lot to do. I didn't investigate at the time.

This thread reminded me that I hadn't sorted out a solution to this for myself so I've just installed...

Running this to use Twain, native interface, and setting my Epson all-in-one scanner interface to full auto is working well for me. I've only done a limited trial so far though.

Without writing what software you are using, nobody can help you really.

"PDF Split and Merge" can do that (and much more) too without uploading your documents to a 3rd party.
