Scanning to a PDF File
Scanning Using Epson Scan
The easiest way to scan multiple document pages to a PDF file is to select the B&W PDF-Simplex, Color PDF-Simplex, or
B&W PDF-Duplex function on the LCD screen, then press the
Start button on the scanner.
Using Epson Scan, you can create a PDF file with the following features.
Scanning multiple document pages into a single PDF file: You can scan multiple document pages and save them in
a single PDF file.
Assigning document security settings: You can assign password settings to the PDF file.
Creating a searchable PDF file (Windows only): You can create a PDF file with search functionality, so that you can
look for words in the file. (This feature may not be available in some countries.)
Specifying the number of pages in a single PDF file: You can specify the maximum number of pages that can be
included in one PDF file. For example, if you are scanning a 20-page document, and specify the page number to be
included in one PDF as 4, 5 PDF files are automatically created.
Note:
You need ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus that came with your scanner to use some of these features. If
you have installed your scanning software as described on the Start Here sheet, it has already been
installed. (ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus may not be available in some countries.)
