Q: Can't save MP Navigator documents with Yosemite

Since installing Yosemite, I can't get MP Navigator to save scanned docs as a PDF or anything else.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    Did you try to use Preview or ImageCapture?

    Have you checked a Canon web site for a newer version of MP Navigator for the model of Canon you have?

    Here is the solution (copied from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6610931, solution by MadEyeMark)

     

    The scan files are in:

         ~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP

    (you may have to change the version number to 'MP Navigator 2.1' or other).


    This directory exists only while MP Navigator is open and has scanned at least one page.  I suggest to create an alias on the desktop.


    Once you have finished scanning your document, open the above directory, select all files (command-A), open (command-O), call the print command (command-P), but instead of sending to printer, save as PDF or attach to email (PDF menu in the bottom left corner of the Print dialogue).  Then remember to delete all the files before your next scan.

    Thank you for this solution. It's at least a useable workaround for those of us who haven't bought a new scanner recently. For those wondering: This solution works with the latest version of iOS and a Canon Pixma MP500. YMMV, but it's working for me.
