After upgrading your Mac OS X to Snow Leopard, you may not be able to use your Hewlett Packard(HP) All in One’s device manager. This Device Manager allows users to scan multiple pages and club the output into one single PDF. While the Snow Leopard’s interface is much better, it does not allow such scanning output. If you also intend to scan multiple pages into single PDF document and are facing issues after upgrading to Snow Leopard on your Macintosh machine, follow the steps below:
- Open the Preview
- Click on “File” menu
- Now click on “Import from Scanner”
- Select your scanner from the installed scanner list. When you select your scanner, a new window for “Your Scanner Name” will appear.
- Click on “Details” button. On this screen adjust the settings for color and size
- Uncheck the options for “Detect Separate Items” and change the format to “PDF”
- Click on “Scan”
Once the scanning is complete, you will see a preview of all pages into a single PDF file.
