How to scan multiple pages to PDF using Windows Fax and Scan

Here is a video on how to scan multiple pages to one PDF file using your home printer and Windows Fax and Scan. I couldn't find a video on how to do this so I created this one. Hope it helps!

    Oct. 2023: The exact solution I needed! Thanks, Adam! We just bought a Canon Image Class MF-753cdw all-in-one printer for our small office and cannot resolve issues with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF so this is the perfect solution until we can get support from Canon.

    I have the solution for the flatbed. Scan the individual pages and convert each to a PDF. Install the Free App PDF Merger & Splitter. Upload the PDF pages to the App and Merge. It took me hours to figure out this solution and it is now simple to do.

    I agree. This only works if the scanner has a feeder! If you select the flatbed option it will create a new file for every page. Not only that but you have to go through the process of selecting the scanner and changing from the default settings for every new page.

    It won't work with a flatbed. Windows fax and scan needs to scan all pages at once for this to work. And for some scanners this even flips your documents into landscape orientation. This method only works with some higher end office scanners.

    When using a flatbed, put all scan files into the same folder. Change the names of each scan as to place them in the order you desire for the pdf file. When you go to the containing folder and open the files in Windows Photo Viewer, you are on track with this video directions.
