How do I scan multiple pages and have them save as one pdf file? I keep getting a file for each.

trepc — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 01:05:09 GMT

I'm new to my Canon Pixma multifunction and having a difficult time getting settings correct to scan from my automatic feeder multiple pages and get them to email as one document. Suggestions please?

Hi trepc,

This can be accomplished by adjusting a setting inside of MP Navigator, the Canon scanning program that came with your unit. So that I can provide specific instructions to set this, please reply with the model number of your printer as well as the operating system installed.

I look forward to assisting you with your PIXMA printer.

After scanning, a page with all the individual pages will show up. Highlight the pages you want together. There's a section on the lower left part of the screen that pops up once you highlight a page that allows you to print or save. For most of my work, I save as a pdf.

There may be another way that I still haven't figured out. I think it's very cumbersome. Hope that helps a little. I'll be watching for better advice 🙂

Hi Devin,

Can you help me with this problem ?

I have a PIXMA MX892 - I was able to scan multi pages at one time, and at the end it was only one PDF file with all 5 pages as one file, now it has stop doing that. Windows 7

If I scan 5 pages, it now creates 5 PDF files.

I am using the self-feeder on top, not the flatbed.

I have checked all setting, and can not find any setting that I may have changed, or that would need to be changed now.

Please help, thank you

I am having the same trouble. I have MX922. I am scanning through the Canon Image Garden. Each page is saved as a separate PDF and I can't find a setting to combine the pages.

For the MX300, here's how you save a multiple page PDF

For the MX922, I prefer to use the IJ Scan Utility instead of My Image Garden

Also, PDF is not one of my options, only JPG and other picture options. I want to be able to scan multiple pages to one PDF.

Any help?

I am using a Canon Pixma MG5420. Here is my process for scanning multiple PDF pages into a single document on a MacBook Pro:

1. Place document on the scanner.

2. Open the Preview application. If needed, the Preview application can be located from the Search function (magnifying glass.

3. From the menu bar, select File --> Import from Scanner --> (name of your printer). This opens a second window titled Import from Canon MG5400 series, and the printer immediately produces an overview of your document.

4. Use gripper "handles" (blue dots) to set the desired scan area if needed.

5. Make your scan preferences in the dialogue section on the right side of the window. NOTE: Be sure that PDF is selected as the format and that the "Combine Into Single Document" checkbox immediate below is checked.

6. Click the Scan button at the lower right of the window and allow the printer to complete scanning the first page.

7. Remove the first document and place the next document on the scanner.

8. Click the Overview button at the bottom right of the window and allow printer to complete the overview of the second page.

9. Use the blue gripper handles to set the desired scan area if needed.

10. Click the Scan button at the bottom right of the window and allow printer to complete scanning the second page.

11. Repeat steps 7-10 as many times as necessary until all pages are scanned.

12. Return to the open Preview window which will now display the pages which have just been scanned.

13. From the menu bar, select File --> Move To. This opens a dialogue box which allows you to name your PDF file and select the location where you want it to be filed. Make these choices and save your multi-page PDF document.

Great advice. Worked like a treat. I have MG3200 series and this works similarly except you dont have to return to the preview window. It automaticly saves the doc. Thank you kathypat.
