Scanning to a  PDF File
Scanning  Using Epson  Scan
The  easiest  way  to  scan multiple  document pages to  a  PDF  file is to  select  one  of the  Scan  to  PDF  functions (Windows),  or  the  B&W  PDF -Simplex  (Mac  OS
X),  Color  PDF -Simplex  (Mac  OS X),  or  B&W  PDF -Duplex (Mac  OS X)  function  on  the  LCD  screen, then press the  
 Start button on  the  scanner.
Using Epson  Scan,  you  can create  a  PDF  file with  the  following features:
Scanning  multiple  document pages  into a single PDF  file:  You can scan multiple  document pages and save  them in  a  single  PDF  file.
Assigning document security  settings:  You can assign password  settings to  the  PDF  file.
Creating a searchable PDF  file : You can create  a  PDF  file with  search functionality,  so  that  you  can look for words in  the  file. (This feature is available  in
Windows only.)
Specifying  the  number  of  pages  in a single PDF  file:  You can specify the  maximum  number of pages that  can be  included in  one  PDF  file. For  example,
if  you  are  scanning  a  20-page  document,  and specify the  page  number to  be  included in  one  PDF  as  4, 5  PDF  files  are  automatically  created.
Note:
You need  ABBYY FineReader  that  came with  your scanner  to  use some of these  features. If you  have  installed your scanning  software
