Yes, the Brother MFC7860DW will scan to pdf files. It is an excellent, very easy to use printer; scanner; fax unit. The software is intuitively simple to operate unlike some other makes. I had a Brother Duplex printer for eight years that finally developed paper feeding issues so I bought the MFC7860DW and have been very happy with it.

Yes, of course. It scans anything in pdf format which you can then convert to a jpeg in the Scansnap program.

Yes it comes with "Paper stream" software in the bundle. PaperStream is in a part PDF creation software. So if you use the software that comes with it, it will scan to PDFs.

No it scans to an SD card. But also you can connect the included USB cable and then the scanner shows up as a drive in computer and then you can copy all photos to computer.

This little scanner is a simple yet quick scanner. While it can scan TO a searchable PDF file it cannot "create" one. Being able to search a document is dependent on the software you are using to save the scanned document to.

Yes. I scan multi page documents and when finished the computer screen prompts you with, "Finished Scanning?"You then choose location to save file, name the document, and it saves it as a PDF file.

Yes, it does have a scanning feature. I have not used it, but you can scan photos and documents. All you have to do is follow the directions and set the parameters you want.

Not that I know of. I figured out the double sided part which was great, I had a book that I needed to pdf scan. Scanning 1 doc, then saving 50 separate pdfs, boy, that would take a while... wish I had an answer.

I have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

Yes, I have scanned 20-25 pages of different sizes into a single PDF. Need to be carefull with placement of pages in feeder to avoid jams.

Yes it scans, the printer will load software right from the unit when you plug in the USB cable.

Yes, it can scan to a USB storage device. It produces a folder titled "Brother" on the device and creates PDFs. PDFs are searchable depending on which version of Acrobat or other software you have.

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

No. Scanner is marginal and only scans single pages. Scanner is in the trash.

Yes and no. It isn't a true document scanner so you are manually scanning each and every page. The main point of interest is the optical character application (Adobe's ABBYY FineReader Version 9). This converts scanned text to either PDF or Word format. It's not a bad program for pamphlets and pure text documents. However I was hoping to scan a workshop manual for my car - that was a Fail for reasons that have more to do with Word than with FineReader. In short I am now looking for document scanning software because nothing included with the scanner was up to the task I was attempting.

Yes... They provide software to connect the scanner directly to your computer to scan documents as pdf's
