How to Scan Multiple Pages into One PDF?

Whether you need to submit receipts for reimbursement, email a signed contract, save class notes, or organize invoices, scanning multiple pages into one PDF keeps everything in the right order and makes the file easier to share.

The quickest way to scan multiple pages into one PDF is to use your phone camera with UPDF on iPhone or Android. If you need cleaner scans for contracts, invoices, or business records, you can use UPDF on Windows or Mac with a physical scanner. After scanning, UPDF also lets you reorder pages, compress the PDF, annotate it, or use OCR to make the scanned file searchable.

In this guide, we will show you how to scan multiple pages into one PDF on mobile and desktop devices.
