Photosmart C7180 scan to PDF

Recently I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything. I am running Windows XP Pro with SP3 and I downloaded the latest software for my all-in-one Photosmart C7180. I used to be able to scan a document to PDF using Adobe Standard 7, but I can turn it on is no longer. I uninstalled Adobe Standard 7 and installed Adobe Reader XI. Is it possible to scan a document to PDF using the Photosmart software Adobe Reader XI? I have not installed the OCR software, because I really feel that the OCR software is unreliable. I don't need to edit pdf documents or create them. I just want to be able to analyse any document as a pdf and then send the PDF as an attachment. When I open the HP Solution Center and choose to analyze a document, scan-to-pdf is not an option. I know there are a lot of free pdf programs scan, but before we go in this direction, I wanted to see if it is possible to use what I have already installed. Thank you.

Hello

The HP software uses the OCR engine to scan in PDF format, if you choose not to install the OCR the PDF option won't be available.

Run the installation of HP once more and select this option to add additional software.

Install the OCR application and restart your PC.

Now you should see the PDF (or PDF that does not actually use the component OCR but simply scan in PDF or searchable PDF as option available) while clicking on scan a Document from the HP Solution Center.

Adobe Reader is a PDF reader and not a PDF editor like Adobe standard or Pro who provide capability of scanning their duties change.

  • Photosmart C7280 Scan to PDF

    Over the years, I have had this printer that it scanned to PDF very well.  Now all of a sudden it won't work.  I tried to use only Apple, only the drivers of HP drivers, and having both installed... nothing.  Is this a feature that went with the latest drivers for this printer?  If this is the case, I just need to know if I can put it on the sidewalk for the truck to pick up garbage.  Thank you.

    LarryMcJ,

    Have you tried to scan using the preview or Capture of Image?  It should do the same thing as the scan from the front panel.

    I like the 10.6 system because the drivers are included in the operating system.  I don't have to download the drivers with the software, I don't want not just to get the basic functionality.  My system is completely free of HP software and I like it like that.

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    I think that you would have the ability to scan in PDF format with the software of the printer.

    If you have not done for awhile, please (re) install the software feature complete for the printer:

    Install full features software - Photosmart 7520

  • Photosmart C7180 on Windows 7 x 64: big problems

    My Photosmart C7180 faithful went to a near-useless state because I attach to my new desktop running Windows 7 x 64.  I am connected via a wired/usb connection cable. Some of these new antics include:

    • Said solution center it is disconnected when it is not
    • The scanner does not work
    • When I try to print a doc, I receive a partial copy of the doc, plus 5 or 6 sheets of paper with a few random characters, printed at the top.

    I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the latest version of the software as downloaded from the website (v 13.1.0) far too many times.  This does nothing.

    I ran the HP print and scan doctor... the print side says that it works very well (it isn't). the analysis option fails on the driver record, saying that "the scanning driver is unable to communicate with the product.  I followed the instructions to unplug the printer, reconnect, restart the computer several times... even once, it does nothing.

    Anyone out there have any suggestions, other than to transport this thing to the recycling center?

    I would try possibly using another method of connection. Maybe it's the USB cord that is defective. If you have another cord try that, or you can try to set up the printer on your network using a wired Ethernet connection.

    Try this and tell me how it turns out that!
