How do I scan multiple pages as a PDF file in Windows 11?

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?

    Thank you @RodrigoTavaresNH !! Your reply saved the day. The app is so easy to use and it all worked first time. It was even "too easy", if I can say that, because there is no "Save File" option... instead, when you're done, you are done! Just exit the app and the file is in the folder where the settings say it should be. At first I scratched my head looking for a "Save" option, thinking I might lose something. Now I know, you don't need a save option. The app is brilliant. It saves multiple pages to the same PDF file until you stop clicking "Scan and add". It also has a button to rearrange pages in the file if you need to.

    This only works with Microsoft Scan if you have a feeder. It will not scan multiple pages into one .pdf file using the manual glass.

    Thanks for this suggestion, downloaded and worked perfectly with my HP Deskjet. Much easier to use than HP Smart!
