Since updating to Windows 11, the only way I seem to be able to get my scanner to work is using Windows Scan. Unfortunately, I can't see any way to scan multiple pages into the PDF I am trying to create. I used to be able to do this using my scanner's functions but since updating to Windows 11, the scanner can't seem to connect to my PC via the scanner's buttons. Does anyone know a way around this?

    I just upgraded my laptop that has Windows 11 from a laptop that had Windows 10. Windows 10 had a nice app just called scan that worked great. I could scan into a pdf or a jpg with either a flat bed or feeder for multiple pages. The app is missing fromWindows11 or I cannot find it. All that I can find now is Windows Scan Fax app that only allows jpg, TIF or similar formats.

    So does anyone know if the simple scan app that was available in Windows 10 exists for Windows 11? Or can it be downloaded?

    PDF is not an option under file type.
