Ventura OS problems with scanning and emailing pdfs

Since I've downloaded Ventura, I can no longer scan, the scanner doesn't open. I tried to send emails with a pdf attachment (attachments were small), the receivers of my email with pdf's are unable to open the pdfs. To make sure that the pdf was not corrupt, I used a Mac still using Monterey to create and send the same pdf and the mail recipients had no problem opening the pdf attachment. This proves that there is some bug in Ventura OS that is having a problem with both scanning and sending pdfs. The scanner is a HP Officejet printer. On the Mac with the previous OS the open scanner works, but it does not work on my 2019 Macbook Pro. The open scanner button is greyed out. Apple needs to address this as in this day and age people scan and email pdfs for both personal and business purposes.
