In Home or Professional Mode, you can scan multiple pages of a document, magazine, or newspaper and save them in one file. 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 scanner. See Placing Documents or Photos for instructions.

Press the Scan to PDF button on the scanner. You see an Epson Scan window.

If the Mode box in the upper right corner of the Epson Scan window is set to Full Auto Mode and you want to scan multiple photos or film, click the Scan button. The scanned images are saved as a PDF file in My Pictures (Windows) or Pictures (Mac OS X).

If you want to scan multiple pages of a document, magazine, or newspaper, change the scanning mode to Home Mode or Professional Mode and go to step 4.

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 10.

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

The Editing Page window displays thumbnails of each scanned page. You can use the tools below the main window to select, rotate, reorder, and delete pages in your document. Click the Help button for details.

If you want to include all the document pages in your PDF file as they currently look, go to step 11.

If you want to include only some of the pages, click the Odd Pages or Even Pages icons, or hold down the Ctrl key and 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.
