I have a number of pages that I want to scan into a single PDF document. I get a seperate PDF document for each pages and must merge these pages to get my single document. How can I scan all pages to a single document without having to merge files?
The standard UI for the scanner in PDF-Tools and PDF-Xchange Viewer will only allow a single page to be scanned from a scanner platten when using the default scan inputs.
Scan Multiple pages to a single PDF using PDF-XChange Viewer
Do not use the 'scan' button or import from scanner: File --> New Document --> From Image File --> Import [button]
![]()
This last part is key, you must use the above button, as it will open your scanner driver interface and allow you to do your single page scan:
![]()
After the scan is complete, you will be returned to the 'New Document from Images' dialogue where your first page will be listed.
![]()
Now hit the 'Import' button again and you will get another scan. When done, this is added to the list in the 'New Document from Images' dialogue.
![]()
Simply keep hitting 'Import' and scanning pages until all your pages are scanned and in that list, then, on hitting OK, you will get a single PDF with all your pages.
