How Do I Scan a Large Document in Pieces?

Sometimes a document is too large to fit in the document feeder, requiring you to scan it in pieces. The challenge is getting those pieces into a single file. How you do this depends on the product you’re using for scanning.

Enterprise Organizer Pro

The easiest way to scan large documents is in Enterprise Organizer Pro. Just do this:

Start an Advanced Scan
Select the option called "Prompt for Additional Pages"
Scan the first stack
When the end of the stack is reached, Enterprise Organizer Pro will ask if there are more pages to scan
Load the next stack of pages and click "Yes"
Continue in this manner until you have scanned the whole document
Network Scanner

If you scan from a network scanner that doesn’t integrate with Enterprise Organizer Pro, you will end up with multiple files – one file for each stack you scanned. Enterprise Organizer Pro Professional can help you join the files into a single file:

Locate the files in Enterprise Organizer Pro
Determine the order of the files – in other words, figure out which file has the first pages, which file follows, and so on. We’ll refer to these files as file 1, file 2, etc.
Drag-and-drop file 2 onto file 1
When prompted, select "PDF Append" and confirm
Repeat, dropping file 3 onto file 1
Continue in this manner until you have appended all of the files to file 1
When you’re comfortable that the operation was successful, delete all of the files except file 1
