    Hi Daniel,

    What app are you using to scan?

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-scan/...

    Give Windows Scan a shot and see if it’ll add all the scanned pages into 1 document.

    If no dice, you can use a PDF editor to merge them. If you don’t have one of those, you could use an online converter to merge all the scans into 1 - https://combinepdf.com/

    Let me know!

    Hi Daniel

    The scanning function in Windows is very basic

    Did your scanner with the document feeder come with it own propriety scanning software. That is the best software to use with your scanner, it will have functionality especially for that scanner, including scanning multiple pages to the same document.

    Please Note when scanning multiple pages to the same document, you cannot scan to jpg or tif, you must scan to a file type that supports multiple pages like PDF or Word

    Hi DanielPatalano ... I honestly don't know why Windows does that and also find it annoying as well.

    What you can do though is select them all and choose to print them to a PDF.

    See link and hopefully that solves your issue.
