How to scan multiple pages into 1 PDF using the MS Scanner I have a HP PSC 1410 All-In-One printer (flatbed scanner) and using Windows 10. The 'HP Solutions Center' doesn not work under Windows 10 and I cant figure out how to scan multiple pages into 1 PDF using the MS Scanner. Our Canon corporate scanner can only save multipage scanned docs into PDF with colors. Pls indicate freeware tools that could convert it into TIF / TIFF multipage doc. The PDF file can be in tens.
This thread asks for how to convert multi-page PDF to multi-page TIFF with Ghostscript;
However, I want to covert a multi page PDF to a number of single-page TIFFs: Each page in the PDF is expected to be converted to a single TIFF file. So the above answer does not exactly match what I need.
How can I achieve this?
I am using Windows XP.

Be sure to have a recent version of Ghostscript installed. Then you can run these commands:
and
and
The commands will generate you 3 sets of TIFF files. Each set contains singlepage TIFFs which carry names that contain an index numbers starting with
001
:If you have a lot of PDF pages per file, you can increase the number of digits/leading zeros to a higher number: use
%05d
to get a 5 digit numbering.The three different commands generate different types of TIFF:
- The tiffg4 ones are grayscale TIFFs.
They use a resolution of 204dpi by 196dpi (as the TIFF G4 fax standard requires). - The tiff24nc ones are in RGB color (with 8 bits per color component).
They use a resolution of 72dpi by 72dpi. - The tiff32nc ones are in CMYK color (with 8 bits per color).
They also use a resolution of 72dpi.
All the resolution values for the TIFF files result from Ghostscript's default settings. If you want to override these, for example because you require 600dpi by 600dpi, just add
to any of the above command lines.

How do I create a single PDF document from multiple scanned pages?
I have a number of pages that I want to scan into a single PDF document. When I scan pages they each become a separate PDF document that I must then merge to create a single document. Is there a more efficient way to perform this operation?
Answer:
PDF-XChange Editor
The From Image Files option can be used for this purpose:
1. Under the Convert Tab, Click From Files > From Image Files:
The Image to PDF dialog box will open.
2. Click Import:
The Scan Properties dialog box will open:
- Click the Scanner Settings menu to save/select scanning profiles.
- Click the Scanner menu to select a scanner to use.
- Click the Data Transfer Method menu to select either Native Mode or Memory Mode:
- Native Mode uses a single memory buffer. This is the default and fastest mode, and is compatible with the broadest range of scanners.
- Memory Mode enables the use of multiple memory buffers. This is a useful function in cases where memory is low and/or when large images are being scanned.
- The Show Native UI box is selected by default, which means the user interface of the device driver is used. This is the most reliable option, and the scanner will select certain parameters of the scan itself: Color Mode, Resolution, Paper Size and Source. Clear the Show Native UI box to customize these options:
- Color Mode has four options: Auto detect, Color, Grayscale and Black & White. These refer to the format of scanned documents.
- Resolution sets the dpi (dots per inch) of scanned documents.
- Paper Size refers to the size of the paper used when scanning. Click Setup for further options, which are as follows:
- The Automatic option determines the paper size automatically.
- The Standard option contains standard sizes such as those used by the ISO and ANSI.
- The Custom option can be used to enter custom dimensions.
- Source has three options Auto, Flatbed and Feeder. These refer to the type of scanner being used.
- Click the Sides menu to determine which sides of documents are scanned. There are three options: Simple Scan, Manual Duplex and Manual Duplex Reversed. Click the dropdown arrow for an explanation of these options.
- Click the Scan More Pages menu to select the setting for when additional pages are scanned.
- Click Scan to scan the page, which will then be added to the documents listed in the Image to PDF dialog box.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all desired pages have been added to the list.
- Click the Options button in the Image to PDF dialog box to determine settings for the final document, as detailed here.
- Click OK to combine the pages into a single PDF.
