PDF Scans Photoshop

crystalg73998347 Aug 20, 2017 9:10 AM

When I scan a document it saves as and only opens with Photoshop. My settings are set to "save as PDF" on my scanner but the computer will ONLY save it as a Photoshop document and has the PS logo. I cannot view the scan without opening Photoshop, which slows down my work production. This started a few months ago. I have current up-to-date Photoshop and work with Windows 7.

How do I go back to the way it used to be where my scanned documents were saved as a true PDF and not be associated with Photoshop in any way? I hate this and it's making my workday 10-times longer.

Please, first check if the extension of the generated document is really .pdf,
then In windows 10 try to associate the document to adobe reader:
Associate PDF files to always open in Acrobat or Reader on Windows 10

I use Windows 7. I don't have windows 10.

Sorry, I forgot to include in my previous response... Yes, they are set correctly to PDF when they are scanned.

I was able to change to "open with PDF," however, I don't have time to do that for each individual scan. How do I set it to always open with PDF and to Photoshop so that I don't have to spend my workday spending time reassigning the program for each scan to open with?

Got it to work. Just as a friendly fyi... The same instructions for Windows 10 also work for Windows 7.

Thanks for the help. :-)
