Sending PDF?

Question

Is there any way to scan a double sided document thru a PDF without having to copy it to a single sided document first?

okay, for example

I have a 52 page double sided document.
I have to scan it thru the copier, to send it to an e-mail address as a pdf file. (it is not already in my compuer)

scanning it page at a time is the best answer so far, but I was hoping there was a way to scan the whole document like one can copy 2 sided to 1 sided if you understand me.

Answer 1

Im not sure what you are asking. You cant "scan through a PDF".

You can scan a double-sided "document" using a scanning application like Microsoft imaging, and rearange the pages (easy) to make them sequential, then save as PDF. Is that what you are looking to do???

Answer 2

I use Adobe at work and after scanning the page via the document feeder of the printer, it asks if I want to scan more pages or if I am finished. Then I can flip over the page and scan the other side. I don't know what version you're using, I think we have 7 or 8. We can put as many pages as we want into one pdf. It also has a feature to merge several separate pdf files into one document. Maybe you need to upgrade.

Answer 3

I have an HP scanner. After page 1, I remove it from the tray, put it in the feeder once again. Then when it asks "scan another page?" I click yes. Of course, you can do the same thing if you don't use a feeder. Turn it over on the glass before clicking "yes." Works for me.

Answer 4

That is going to depend on the software and hardware you are using. Some scanners/software will allow you to pause and add pages in which case you can flip the page over, but others do not.

Answer 5

PDFs don't need to be scanned as they are already in the computer...
