PDF scans not converting in Word 2013

You appear to have two threads connected with this issue
One here
MS Office Document Scanner + HP deskjet
to which you have received two replies and this thread where you are reading this

It appears to me but maybe I am missing something that you have the mentioned HPDeskjet2700 but then Epson
is mentioned

Is that a typo or do you have two printers/scanners - the HP and an Epson

If the scanned PDF will not then open in Word, as a Word editable doc - albeit some formatting will usually be lost

It appears to me that the scanned doc which is then opened in Word 2013 is NOT been scanned as a PDF

Scan your document according to the instructions for your scanner, and save it to your computer as a .pdf file.

Indeed if it was scanned as a PDF I cannot understand why MSWord would treat it as a jpeg.
I would check the scan settings - this problem is frequently encountered when using auto scan

It would help considerably if you acknowledge the replies on your first thread, rather than just starting another one.

It was me that was wrong, I now realise you have two printer/scanners and Epson and a HPdeskjet2700. I was referring to the fact that I thought you only had the HP and not both HP and Epson, rather than how Epson was spelt

On the HPDeskjet2700 it appears
In the printer software, click Scan , and then click Scan a Document or Photo .
4. Click the More link in the top right corner of the HP Scan dialog.
The detailed settings pane appears on the right. The left column summarizes the current settings for each
section. The right column allows you to change the settings in the highlighted section.
5. Click each section at the left of the detailed settings pane to review the settings in that section.
You can review and change most settings using drop-down menus.
Some settings allow greater flexibility by displaying a new pane. These are indicated by a + (plus sign) at
the right of the setting. You must either accept or cancel any changes on this pane to return to the detailed
settings pane.

that as I have to on my Epson SX218 you have to set scan as doc mode - in the settings.
On my SX218 if I do not do that it scan and saves as a jpeg -IF the doc as anyhting that it interprets as an image.

Re my last
Please see my screenshot
I feel reasonably certain your HP will have a similar setting as my Epson SX218


It appears the procedure is indeed similar on your HP

see the heading here
Save a scan as a single or multi-page PDF
Change the file name and select PDF as the file type.

Cheers pleased it is sorted
