| | Re: Windows Fax and Scan: Scan using smaller files The only way to scan to .PDF would be if you have a .PDF writing application that interfaces with a scanner; WF&S only knows how to write .TIF files. You can scan from Photo Gallery also and it knows about more picture formats. As to combining scans into a single document, a .PDF writer should be able to do this; Microsoft Office Document Imaging will definitely do this, I've used it before to combine individual scans into a multi-page document. As a matter of fact, I've also used MODI to print one of these combined scan documents to a .PDF "printer" (CutePDF is an example).
