Here's how to scan a document with multiple pages into PDF document:

1. Get your document and scanner ready. Typically this will involve lifting the lid of your scanner and placing your paper document in between the lid and the glass top of the scanner.

2. Scan your document. Refer to your scanner manual for how to do this. Generally, there will be a button to press on your scanner labelled "Scan". You will likely also be able to initiate the scanning process using software on your laptop or computer. If using this method, you can change the resolution of the scanned document to adjust the size of the file. When the scanning is complete, you can move on to scanning the next page by repeating the process above.
3. Save the PDF. Some scanners will automatically compile these scanned pages into one document, which you can download as a PDF by following the on-screen instructions on your laptop or computer.

Extra Tip: If your device saves the scanned pages as individual files, then you can use UPDF to combine them into one PDF document with just a few clicks. Simply download UPDF from the button below, open UPDF and select "Batch > Combine". Add the PDF files and combine them into a single PDF file.
