Creating One PDF File from Two or more Pages

You can scan two or more pages and make them into one PDF file.

1. Place the document face-down on the platen glass or load it face-up in the ADF.
   
   
   
2. On the Windows desktop, double-click [Canon MF Toolbox 4.7].
   Alternatively, on the Windows desktop, click [Start], [(All) Programs], [Canon], [MF Toolbox 4.7], [Toolbox 4.7]. The MF Toolbox will open.
   
   
   
3. Click [PDF].
   If necessary, adjust any settings.
   
   
   
4. Click [PDF Settings...].
   
   
   
   
5. Check the [Create Multiple PDF] checkbox to create one PDF file by scanning two or more pages.
   
   
   
6. Adjust the following settings if necessary, then click [OK].

   [Create Searchable PDF]	Click to convert the characters in the document to text data and make the document searchable with simple keywords. However, all the characters in the document may not be accurately recognized. In [Text Language], select [English]. In [Scanner Settings], in [Image Quality], select [300 dpi] or more.
   [PDF Compression]	Select [High] for images such as photos or illustrations to be further compressed, reducing the file size.

   
   
   

7. Click [Start].
   The [ScanGear MF] dialog box will open if you selected [Use the Scanner Driver to Make Advanced Settings] in step 3.
   
   Adjust your settings, then click [Scan].
   
   Scanning starts.
   
   
   If white lines appear on one edge of the scanned image, check that the document is correctly placed on the platen glass. A document should be placed approximately 1/8" (3 mm) from the front edge (i.e., the edge closest to the operation panel) of the platen glass.
   
   If you are scanning using the platen glass, the following dialog box appears as each page is scanned.
   
   To continue to scan, place the next page and click [Next]. When scanning is completed, click [Finish].
   
   A folder with the scanning date will be created in the [My Pictures] folder in the [My Documents] folder, and your document will be saved in this folder. If there is no [My Pictures] folder, the folder with the scanning date will be created in the [My Documents] folder and your document saved in this folder.
   
   For text documents or black-and-white documents, it is recommended you select either [Black and White] or [Grayscale] in [Scan Mode].
   
   If making a Multiple PDF with color documents ([Image Quality] set to [300 dpi]), it is recommended that the PDF have fewer than 20 pages.
