Scanning Directly 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.

  1. Place the first page of your original document on the document table. See Placing Originals for Scanning for instructions.
  2. Start EPSON Scan. See Starting EPSON Scan for instructions. You see a window like this:



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

    4. If the Mode box is set to Home Mode or Professional Mode, see Selecting Basic Settings for instructions.

    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.

    8. 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 8.

    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:
