Help with registration of the PDF when using Windows Fax and Scan

When I use the Windows Fax and Scan, I'm trying to scan a document and then save it as a PDF file.  What happens is when I save it, it opens Adope Photo Shop and will not let me save it as a PDF.  How can I scan a document and then save it as a PDF in Windows 7.0?

If you have Word 2007 or later, you can scan it, then save it as a PDF. Works fine for me. I have a Canon LIDE 100 scanner, I bought for $50, which will also scan directly to PDF.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • How to MOVE the default location of Windows Fax and Scan?

    We have recently added a second server (Windows Server 2008) to a domain AD., because the new server has more resources, we moved all the DOCUMENTS folder to users from the server (Server 2003) network share to address liked to a share on the new Server 2008 machine. After the move, all Windows 7 machines runs the utility of fax and scan can not find MANY DOCUMENTS folder as the utility constantly points to the old server (which took the OLD action of document already deleted).

    I changed the location of DOCUMENTS in Windows 7 for Server 2008 sharing, but Fax and Scan keeps searching for the old stock 2003 server and I cannot find where to redirect them. Can I turn off Windows fax and analysis services to the title of printing and scanning and then restore? That will allow me to redirect to the correct folder? I have tried even to search the registry for references to the old stock but still can't seem to locate the old server to the MANY DOCUMENTS reference.

    Can anyone help?

    I solved this problem with a synlink

    First to find the actual location of Library/Documents/scanned documents, make this scanned Documents to right click and click 'open file location '.

    In my case he opened it (that I copied from the address bar):

    Documents C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Scanned

    What should I do now is to save the files in this folder, and then delete the "Documents" folder completely

    Then click the windows key and type in run or search (or click the Windows key + R) and type 'cmd' and press enter

    A black console should appear

    In it, you must enter this command, I wanted that my scans to record in X:\Scans

    MKLINK /j "C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Scanned Documents" X:\Scans

    then press enter

    This creates a folder (symlink, not a shortcut), who acts as a normal file, but is actually located in a different place, so when the scan software saves files in its default location will be actually stored in X:\Scans

  • How to use Windows Fax and Scan if a modem has not been built in my PC?

    Original title: fax and scan Windows

    Why bother to preload a tower PC with windows fax and analyze if the PC has a modem and in fact does not even a wireless receiver.  When an ordinary user like me go buy the adapter wireless and go buy the fax modem, it's like going to a car dealer and make them ask ' you want this car with tires and wheels, or even that it is? »


    So when you go to Best Buy and Staples to find a fax modem for this PC HP who did not, and what they have is a Zoom modem that works work, WHAT ARE SUPPOSES to DO THEN?

    It is hardware problem, not an operating system. Windows does its part by providing the software needed to complete the job.

  • Windows Fax and Scan - what the appropriate use for the concurrent users to save to the network program?

    I'll try to keep this simple - as I already asked this on other forums without the answer. My environment - Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit client machines. A computer needs to scan patient documents to a network shared by a group of users folder. There will be many people who use this computer even through all day (several shifts - environment 24 hours/7 days).  This is why I need multiple profiles from windows to all save the scan to the SAME network location.

    Currently I am trying to achieve with Windows Fax and Scan and using the ' Scan 'option under 'tools' routing. "  There is a check box (once in this option) for "network location".  I am using this option, but its does not work and that's the whole problem. Its supposed to AUTOMATICALLY record each scan to the specified network location, but it does no such thing. The scan is not registered at all in fact it is just in the interface user of Windows Fax and Scan... double you click it, and then it shows you the image.

    Some information note for helping people answer this question (and any help is appreciated):

    (1) * YES * the network folder, I am trying to record is a valid network folder and * IS * accessible via my network of different devices

    (2) * YES * the user of this journal on the computer with the scanner * ALL * read/write to have rights to this location of the network folder

    (3) * file YES and printing sharing is already active on clients

    If you please if someone either knows how to solve this problem, or at this stage if you can even suggest a different (cheaper the better) application that will scan to a network location please let me know.

    One might think to a disabled feature labeled as "scan routing" and then a field for "network location", it would be simple as plugging in the network folder and checking a box - apparently it isn't.

    Thank you.

  • creating PDFs with windows fax and scan

    How can I create PDF files with Windows Fax and Scan using Windows 7 Home Prem?   The only way to create a document with multiple pages is by selecting a type of tiff file.

    Hi Ken King1961,

    You cannot create a PDF using Windows Fax and Scan.

    You will need to use a third party program to create PDF files. Use your favorite search engine to locate the PDF creators.

  • remove 1 fax number from outlook to use the Windows fax and scan

    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 operating system.  I try to use Windows Fax and Scan to send a fax using my Outlook address book fax numbers.  When I enter the phone number in Outlook it shows as (281) 555-1212.  However, it converts the number of + 1 for each entry, regardless of how I implemented the rules of numbering or not.  Then when I try to fax, I don't need + 1 to dial numbers, only the area code and the number.  I can't do the 1 = go away.  If I dial the number directly in the Fax Wizard, and then it composes correctly, but when pulling starting from Outlook address book that's messed up.

    Basically, I don't have the + 1 to dial local numbers.  Only the 10 digits.  When I get a fax in Outlook number, it automatically formats it with the front 1.  I found an article online that said that if I put a comma before the number to 10 digits, it forces the computer to dial only the numbers that I entered.  It works fine when I do that, then my problem is solved.  Thanks for responding.

  • Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

    So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

    And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

    And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

    Thank you

    -Greg Scott

    Hello Greg,.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

    Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.

  • Problem with Windows Fax and Scan does not connect to the Internal Modem

    Just got a new Acer Aspire 5542-5416 computer laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, 4 GB of Ram and a 320 GB hard drive. It has a 56 k modem integrated fax of like the old days, but I can't make it work. The laptop did not come with the Windows CD.

    If I open the program Windows Fax and Scan, it is not able to connect to the modem. Basically, if I click on tools > fax accounts > Add..., I get a box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server. When I want to connect a fax modem I get a message that says: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator. It allows me to do this then just clock OK and them I'm right where I started.

    While in Windows Fax and Scan, if I click on tools > fax settings... nothing happens. No menu settings or anything ever appears. Quite simply, the program does nothing. If I try tools > Fax Status Monitor... I get a box that says entrance exam status, ready to receive a fax. It has a blue progress bar as something takes over, but it gets about 1/100 to and never goes further or ends. There is no box, but there are 3 buttons: view details, answer call or cancel. If I hit details, I get an empty list. If I click on answer call I get an error that says that the fax service is not available.

    If I try tools > Options, general tab has only a single option box is checked: play a sound when come it to new messages. If I try to print a Word or PDF file to a fax using Fax in the printer list, I get the same box with 2 choices: to connect to a fax modem or connect to a fax on my network server, but I get the same error message: an error has occurred. Please, try the operation again later or contact your administrator.

    I've searched the Internet high and low for a solution but no luck. There is a lot of discussion about this problem, but none of the solutions work for me. If I go to Device Manager, the modem is working properly and if I click on the Modem query on the Diagnostics tab, it seems to be able to communicate with the modem very well. I tried to roll back the driver and updated again and still no luck, same problem. If I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax\Accounts in the registry, there is no subkeys under the folder accounts I can delete.

    Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there any solution for this? I did a Windows Update last night and has not yet solve it. Thank you.

    Sorry about that.
