How do I scan multiple pages of a letter into one document?
I have a reference letter form my employer and I want to combine the multiple scanned PDF pages into one PDF file. How do I do that? (I only have Acrobat Reader unfortunately)

Re: How do I scan multiple pages of a letter into one document?
Hi, as they're pdfs the only way I can think of is to open the file, making sure you can see the whole page then use alt-printscreen, which copies whatever is on the screen, then open a new photoshop document or any image editing program, and paste it in. Then obviously you would crop the image and save it as a jpg. Do this with each pdf. Now open MS Word and use insert/picture/from file, and just insert all the images one by one.
If you had the original letter you could scan each page to a jpg.
Hope this helps - I know you want to keep the number of files down to a minimum.

On my scanner, you can feed the whole document into the top and it takes a page at a time and scans it, then puts all the pages into one document.
But if yours doesn't do this (and before I realised mine did
) you can download a trial version of Adobe Acrobat and create one document from single scans.
