Can you scan a PDF and receive a TIF document

I'm not sure if I understand your question, so I'm not sure if this answer will be helpful to you. The scanner does not automatically convert a PDF file to a TIF image. To convert a PDF to TIF with this (or any) scanner, you would need to print the PDF, then scan the printed page(s) and save the scan as a TIF image. To a large extent, the choice of image formats that you can save to will be determined by whatever software you use.

No. You have to scan one side and then the other. It's easy to use the software to combine them into one document, though.

I found merging pages post scan with Nitro PDF or Adobe PDF (check the User Manual of ScanSnap).

Didn't try that application, but I can not imagine that would work well, the item is not easy to get a simple image to scan correctly. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

The only way I have used it is to do the scan, then attach the scanner to the computer via USB and drag and drop the JPG or PDF to the computer to open the document. I've been very satisfied all aspects of the scanner. Because I work out of town a lot and scan large blueprints and maps, I purchased a 32GB memory card as insurance.Max Schnepf at maxks1@cox.net

It can definitely handle scanning multiple pages into a single document. I believe it can scan multiple pages and place each one into a different document, but I have not yet had the need for that. ** I will amend my answer to say that it can scan multiple pages into one document as long as you select a target that supports multiple pages: PDF or TIFF, not PNG or JPG. I checked the software configuration, and there are two options for PDFs and TIFFs: "Create a file with all pages" or "Select number to make file" - the second one requires specifying a number. Based on my reading it looks like the number is the number of pages it will bundle together to create a new document. By default, this is "1" -- so each page becomes its own document.

Yes, I have scanned documents with it as well. It does not convert them to a PDF file though.

The Epson driver software allows you to scan to PDF -- then it will ask if you wish subsequent scans to be added to the first PDF (as an additional page). The query box comes up with each scan, so you can make decisions at any time. Of course, the scans can also be saved as TIFF (image) files, if you prefer.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

Yes it can! It scans either JPGs or PDFs and you can choose the resolution and quality before you scan.

This seems to be a full-blown scanner. Per the Canon website and user's manual it can scan the usual documents (up to 8.5 x 11) as well as pictures as well as 35mm negs and slides as well as medium format film. It can output in JPEG, TIFF, PDF, and others. I'm ordering one today! To download the manual see http://alpha03u.c-wss.com/inc/ApplServlet?SV=WWUCA900

The Samsung printer I had before this one, did. You scanned from the printer and it would show up on you computer as a PDF. I cannot figure out how to do it on this one. I scan and the print a PDF printer software. It's frustrating.

Using the Epson scan program, you can do this. This program is surprisingly good, at least compared to what I'm used to (I had a Canon scanner previously). There is an option when you first start a scan telling it to ask for a prompt for more pages. You continue to add pages until you're done, then click on save, and it saves to multi-page PDF. Pretty easy, in my opinion.

Yes, you can do it only using the scanner and the iPad. The document that you scanned will be saved as an image and you can attached it on the email and ready!

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

Yes. The only drawback to this is that if you have it scan to PDF, it doesn't make it text-searchable. You can manually do that though. We use it to scan to network folders for each user.

I haven't tried that with the scanner, but I would assume so. There are also plenty of freeware out there that allows you to combine multiple images into one pdf document, etc
