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!!
