Searching Google for 'scan to pdf' brings up a number of programs - have you tried those?

I have used deskpdf to create pdfs from files I have on my computer. It is under $20 and works great.
But it sounds like your real problem is not creating the pdf itself; it's getting a usable file off your scanner. Without more details on the exact glitch on that, it's hard to help. My scanner actually has a "document" setting which turns it straight into a pdf.

I have efax and in a pinch can fax to myself from a landline -and get a .pdf in my email.
Otherwise - did your hp software not include the hp solution center? I have hp psc 300, deskjet 1400, and officejet pro 7500 series and it works with all of them - allows me to scan multiple pages into one doc and save as 1 of about 10 choices - one of them a pdf... You might be able to download the hp solution center software from their site. two of my printers are flatbed, so I have to feed the pages one at a time, but it asks me between each if I have any more pages in the doc.
I also have pdf995 - so I can save pics, docs, whatever I could print to a pdf. It's a printer driver, so it's in your printer list and just pops up a save file screen instead of printing somewhere.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!!

http://www.pdf995.comit's free if you don't mind an ad here or there - if you do guess what it's $9.95 and has lots of nice features and other programs avialable. I actually picked up that tidbit at the state Realtors conference and have been using it since '05. Man - they should pay me for the testimonial!!

This Google Custom search may do a better job of searching the forums for some keywords than the old forum search does. The results do not include threads from the Asset Managers Forum however. To search that forum you will need to be actually in the Asset Managers Forum and you will need to use the old forum search below.
