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.
It would be helpful if you showed how to scan multiple pages into a single document using the flatbed on the scanner.

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.

This worked for me. Thank you for posting video!
Life saver, litterly no other videos showing how to do this
100% sure this video deserves more thumbs up!
This video helped me out. Thank you!
straight to the point, thanks it worked
Thanks, you made this so easy.
I forgot how to do this, so thanks! Now I have a Word doc with instructions.
Thank u so much! I'm 68 never knew how to scan. Our mortgage co needed several documents. I scanned them to him because of ur fantastic video!
The method shown only works if you have multiple pages that can be fed. How do you do this if each page has to be laid on the flatbed?

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.
omg! such a big help.Thanks! :x
Thank you. Seemed like it should have been simple but I couldn't figure it out!
Thank you ! This worked just fine for me.
Awesome. I upgraded to Windows 11 and lost my ability to scan multiple pages into one, until now! Thanks!
Thank you very much. Well explained.
Thanks Adam....made it easy!
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly. Four years later your video is still helping others :)

With a normal printer, that can only scan 1 paper at a time, how can you save numerous amounts of scanned paper into 1 PDF file?

Not fast, but my solution... - Scan each page and save (name each scan by it's page number) as an image - Open a Word doc (probably would work with google docs too) - Adjust the margins to "0" - Use Insert Image to put one scan on each page - Save as PDF Windows Fax and Scan really needs an upgrade!

You will have to do it using the feeder on your scanner, but some brands comes with built in software that allows you to do this. My feeder is messed up and that's the only reason why i am not able to do it after watching this tutorial.

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.
Thank you, this is very helpful for me
Very helpful. It worked
Wonderful!!! Thank you
Scanning to TIFF and then converting it to a PDF isn't the same as scanning to PDF. Do you have a method to do this in one step, as in having PDF as a file type option within Print and Scan?
Very helpful, great
Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!
thanks for the info
thanks worked wonderful
Do you have a scanner that can scan a paper from both sides? otherwise this isn't possible for a one sided scanner

It may be time consuming, but it does work with the flatbed.
Good effort on the review, however you need to show how to file your scan documents into order into windows. So you can easily find your documents, like Tax receipts and important documents etc.
Thank you very much!
I have the solution for flatbeds. Scan each document individually and convert each to a PDF. Install the Free App PDF Merger & Splitter. Upload the PDF pages to the App and select Merge. I spent hours searching for a solution and this app makes it simple.
I dont have the feeder option on the source. How do i get the feeder option? Thanks

Hi, could you pleas help me to fix my scanner problem? A problem prevented the doaument from being scanned. Please try again, or for troubleshooting information, see Help and Support or the information that came with the scanner.
Thank you so much. I did not have TIF selected.
how does it work if scanned from flatbead?
I don't have the 'feeder' option, only flatbed. Can you help with that?
Thank you. Who would have known that by putting them on tif then printing to pdf the problem is solved. Not me.
will it scan multiple if i only have flatbed?
How about multipe pages ( on differen files) this is on ONE file
Thank you.

After scanning the files, go to the folder the files are in. Then highlight the desired files, right click on the first highlighted file, and press print. The you are in step with the video. You don't need Photo Viewer in Win10.
I followed the helpful instructions, but sadly it only scanned one page (via my feeder) at a time which totally defeated the purpose. Windows Fax and Scan is not serving me well, though this video was very helpful. Thank you.

Click on the Options link (lower right-hand side of the window). In the Print Settings window that appears, select Printer Properties... In the Microsoft Print to PDF Document Properties window, select the desired final orientation (Portrait or Landscape) in the dropdown menu.
how do you scan 4 pages into 1 file BUT NOT USE THE FEEDER... The operator places each page on the glass, one at a time.
I think 99% of people came here to know how to scan multiple pages on a flatbed style scanner into 1 PDF...
Nice if you have a feeder, but poor if you have only a flatbed scanner. Did not work for me with flatbed scanner.
Does not work when using the flat bed. Puts into two different files.
Why are the sheets in horizontal?

Doesn't work, the multi-page document always flips to landscape by default and only works if you have an auto-document-feeder on your scanner. This video misses a lot of details.
Even though I selected all three pages, this method only saved the first page, unfortunately...
Please send written instructions.
how to scan two pages to a one page PDF is a better description.
does not work on windows 11
Doesn't show how to scan multiple pages
Like so many "demonstration" videos I have watched, you move too quickly - assuming that everyone already knows where to find the various options. Good instruction is done is a methodical, step by step process. I appreciate that you have created this video; however, it would be much more helpful if you did it as if you had never done it before.
You cut the top of all your documents off!
