Scanning to a PDF File

You can scan multiple pages of a document on the document table and save them as one PDF file on your computer. EPSON Scan displays an editing page so you can view the pages as you scan them and reorder, rotate, or delete them as necessary.

Place the first page of your original document on the document table. See Placing Documents or Photos for instructions.

Start EPSON Scan. See one of these sections for instructions:

    You see an EPSON Scan window.

If the Mode box at the top right of the EPSON Scan window is set to Full Auto Mode, click the Scan button.


Note:

If you want to change the scan mode, see Changing the Scan Mode.

The File Save Settings window appears:

    Select PDF as the file type setting. The current Paper Size, Orientation, Margin, and Compression setting are displayed below it.

If you need to change any of the current PDF settings, click the Options button. You see the EPSON PDF Plug-in Settings window:

    Select the settings that match your document and click OK. You return to the File Save Settings window.

When you are finished selecting file settings, click OK. EPSON Scan scans your page and displays this window:

If you are scanning only one document page, click Edit page and go to step 8.

    If you are scanning multiple pages, click Add page and replace the first page on the document table with the second page and click Scan. Repeat this step for each page in your document. When you are finished, click Edit page and go to step 8.

You see the Editing Page window displaying thumbnail images of each scanned page:


Note:

If you cleared the Display the Editing Page dialog box before saving the files checkbox on the EPSON PDF Plug-in Settings window, you do not see the Editing Page window. Go to step 9.

    If you want to include all the document pages in your PDF file as they currently look, go to step 9.

    If you want to include only some of the pages, click the  odd pages or  even pages icons, or click the individual pages you want to include.

    If you want to rotate or delete pages, click the pages or use the  odd pages,  even pages, or  all pages icon to select the pages. Then click the  left or  right rotate icon to rotate them or the  delete icon to delete them.


Note:

The  delete icon is not available when all document pages are selected.

When you have finished editing your document pages, click OK. Your document is saved in a PDF file in the location you selected and you return to the EPSON Scan window.

Click Close to exit EPSON Scan.
