How do I save a scanned image as a pdf file w/ my MG5420?

I just installed my MG5420 printer and when I scan an image I do not see an option to save the file as a .pdf file.  Is there a scan utility to assist in scanning documents?  There was a utility for my MP800 printer that made this very easy.

I bought MX922 a few years ago.  It worked well.  But, recently, without any reason, the power shut down completely like a dead machine.  I like this printer, so I went to bought an identical model.  Strangely, after installation, each successful scan produced two identical PDF files in my file folder.  No big deal, I can manually delete one copy.  Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Hello.

 

Try changing the Save settings in the IJ Scan Utility program.  This program controls the scanners.

The Ijsetup driver provided by Canon will also work for scanning.
