When I scan I want the paperwork to be in PDF format, will this printer take whatever I scan and put it into a PDF format?

No, the printer will NOT. Your computer, assuming the printer is hooked up to one, will do the work.

The answer to this may be platform-specific. With my Mac, running system 10.6, my Brother scans to a .jpg file in Preview. I can then go to "Save As" and save the file as a PDF. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately not. It only displays your hand writing and saves it as a PDF image.

It should. You should be able to download the manual from Canon. The manual is not a PDF but a program and it's a bit cumbersome to just read it for minimum / maximum sheet size but I do know I have printed to standard size photo card paper. This printer from a setting the settings perspective is difficult and layered - IE it requires that certain settings in multiple menus are paired and identical or it will error out. Diagnosing an error requires looking at the error light and counting how many flashes its making then going to the manual and seeing what that means.The printer does a beautiful job if you just have the patience for it. If not spend more money and upgrade to an Epson. It should. You should be able to download the manual from Canon.

Hi Kim, you can scan legal sized documents through the feeder at the top. You just have to be sure to adjust the scan settings or it will try and force it all to standard letter size in the PDF.

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. Can you elaborate a bit? If you mean, can you make a copy of something else, then the answer is no. This is just a printer. Not a scanner, or fax or copier.

You can save your scanned documents to word, excel, plain text, openoffice.org, html and a few others in addition to PDF. Lots of flexible options with this program.

I will tell you what I know because I like this printer and the company Brother. I am in the midst of a scanning project and have scanned stacks of documents to PDF and that works quite well. I tried to scan a number of documents to JPG files and didn't have much luck (but I didn't spend a lot of time with it)... I do not know the maximum thickness but I would hesitate a reasonable guess that if the weight and type of paper was suitable you should be able to scan a stack of photos using the "scan to OCR" setting (PDF)... BUT as I mentioned I don't know your stock or flexibility of the photos... hope that helps a little. I have found Brother to be an excellent company to deal with and suspect that this question to them would be answered accurately

Yes, after you scan a page, the light blinks for a while and during this time you can put another sheet in, and it will add it to the same file. You can do this for as many pages as you wish. Once you wait for the light to stop blinking (or push the button to make it stop blinking) it will scan the next page to a new pdf. Also, after they are scanned, you can use the PaperPort software on your computer to combine or break apart pages within the PDFs easily.

If u have a smartphone, just download a scanning app, and it will scan the documents u need into a .pdf file, then u just print it from there.

Yes, it will scan in color. It will save in either jpeg or pdf format. Don't know what you want to do with it in OCR.

That does not appear to be an option. You will need to merge the PDF documents together after you drop them to a PC.

I just recently traded up to a HP Officejet, but my Epson served me well for years and yes, it will on default save your scanned photo as a JPG. You can also save it as a TIFF if you want to.

It prints regular documents too. You need photo paper for the photos. I really liked the printer but I wanted a unit that scanned and copied too.

yes you scan and copy legal size paper. I have had my printer for over 6 months now and I have been very pleased with the printer.

Ramon, may I suggest to check the WEB site: http://www.vupointsolutions.com/magic_wand_portable_scanner Indeed it does PDF natively, and as far as Letter or A4, you need to understand the concept. You are not locked into a size, as you manually scan a "surface", be it small or large. You will need an editor if they are png files, so as to make them fit your desired proportions. I would suggest you read the manual from the manufacturer's WEB page. This is not a tool for mass scanning, but occasional note taking on the road, e.g. Library, as it is a tad tedious to use. In real life, you cannot scan a whole book with it!!!

Yes, it will scan legal documents. Yes you can scan documents and save as PDF files. This depends on your operating system. I use MAC OSX and Win7pro. Both work great using the HP software.. You will like the double sided scanning function. Saves on time and improves overall look and feel of end item - document. Enjoy and good scanning.

Yup. Seems to work just fine. Also, a really nice software bundle is included - eliminates Adobe Acrobat - an excellent PDF Converter and PDF Creator is included. Good luck!
