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?

    Just forget the native app. Open your Microsoft Store and type "scanner", then install the app called: Scanner - Quick and Easy Document Scanning. It's perfect. Just choose the PDF type file and start scanning. No adds and it's free. You will notice that the app doesn't have a "save" button. That's because it saves the file automatically every time it's changed. When you finished just close the app and the file will be there in the folder of your choice. Here is the link to simplify. Good scannings.

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