Sounds like you have a scanner but your settings may be wrong (or it can't do what you are asking). What make and model do you have?
It's not the scanner so much as the software. Generally, I've seen most software that will do it either way.
There are tools to combine multiple pdf files into one file, btw. See http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20286

Even if you can't figure out the software (or if Preview doesn't do it, I only have leopard on an external drive so can't look at it right now), go to
macupdate.com, and search for: merge pdf

what kind of file do you need ?
Most scanners make a .jpg file, some have ocr software that convert images into text.

I found a way to merge the pdf files after I scanned them, but it is to long a process. My boss wants something we can all use easily, without loading a ton of software on our computers. The scanner came with Presto, but that program will not cooperate with me computer!
We are purchasing a new scanner for sure, I just want to make sure I get one that will take 13 pgs., scan them, and save them as 1 pdf file with multiple pages. It would be nice if I knew the scanner worked well with a Mac.
