Acrobat 9 pro won't recognize my scanner

I just installed acrobat 9, I had been using version 8. Now when I go to create a file from scanner, it says "chosen unit is not supported".
I'm using a Dell 3115cn, so I can't believe that its some kind of exotic driver that Acrobat doesn't support. Any ideas?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

  • Acrobat XI won't recognize scanner

    I installed Acrobat XI replacing Acrobat 9 and the program won't recognize my scanner.
    Setup: Windows 7 x64, Canon MG6120
    All other programs, to include Photoshop, work fine with the scanner. The scanner works in other user profiles (for Acrobat XI) on the computer, but not in my main profile. The scanner is on the list of devices for Acrobat XI, but when asked to scan, the program cannot find the scanner. If I attempt a failed scan, on logout from the user profile I get an error associated with LogTransport2.exe. This error only occurs when Acrobat XI attempts a scan an fails.
    I have tried deleting all local app data for Acrobat in the user profile, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer but nothing seems to work. I believe it is a configuration error in the specific user profile, but I cannot find out were the information is stored.
    Thanks,

    Try logging into your administrative account and see if Adobe Acrobat Pro will communicate with your scanner.
    If Adobe Acrobat Pro will communicate with your scanner from the Administrator Account but will not communicate from any other user account.  Log in to the account you prefer and perform the following.   Adobe says it is not
    a bug in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but a Microsoft  user profile problem.  I disagree because all my programs work except for Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    1.  Make sure that you have a password for your administrative user account.
    2.  Elevate and display The Command Prompt as follows:
    Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right Click on Command Prompt > Right Click on Run as administrator>
    Agree to let program make changes to computer > The command prompt will be open.
    The command prompt will display something like; C:\windows\system32
    3.  Now it's time to run Acrobat Pro as an Administrator.  You may have to adjust the following statement to get the correct path to acrobat.exe. Edit the command prompt.  Space once after system32 and paste the following and hit enter. 
    runas/user:administrator "c:\program files (x86)\adobe\acrobat 9.0\acrobat\acrobat.exe"
    (do not space after 9.0)
    4. Enter the administrator password when asked and hit enter.
    5.  The program should start. 
    You may wonder why you didn't just right click on the Acrobat icon on your desktop and run as administrator. The reason is because it doesn't work and this does.  I have tested this on Windows 7 Acrobat 9.0 Pro.  It's a pain to go through the steps everytime you open Acrobat Pro, but Adobe won't fix this problem.  I loaded a trial version of 11.0 and they still haven't fixed the problem so we will just have to use work arounds.  I'm not going to hand them another $199 when they refuse to fix the problem that has not been fixed in at least three versions.  Another solution is to create a new administrative type user account and move all your data to the new account.  No Thank you.  Adobe is not on my good list.

    My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you think it is? It won't recognize any hard drive I put in the machine, so might it be the sata cable?

    Boot the Recvoery USB, use Disk Utility to select the internal drive makers namea and size on the left.
    Now select erase and select the midde option and click erase, it will take a bit to complete but it's best for the drive.
    Now select Partiton tab, click the big box and Options: GUID and then Format: OS X Extended journaled and click apply.
    Quit and you should be able to install OS X now with your Apple ID and password.

  • MacBook Pro won't recognize 1TB external drive

    Hey team,
    My mid-2010 MacBook Pro won't recognize my WD My Passport 1TB drive.  I was copying files from the drive to my computer when my computer went to sleep (didn't run out of power, just went to standby mode).  Turned computer back on and now it won't recognize the drive.
    It is a USB 3.0 cord (computer is only USB 2.0 and the cord works with other drives) and when plugged in, the light turns on and the disk spins but isn't recognized my this or other computers (also not in Disk Utility).
    Tried a handful of disk recovery programs but nothing wants to 'see' the disk plugged in.
    Thanks for any and all suggestions.

    yes yes yes,   I warn people about WD drives on this link:
    Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD
    theReKleiner wrote:
    What now?
    Only option is to buy the SAME exact HD and swap controller boards,  or pay someone a LOT more $$$ to do the same thing.
    its not soldered there, its just a controller/ SATA  "one piece"
    They do that to save 50 cents in mfg. costs.
    I mention your "issue" in that link.    Which is why you do NOT buy WD ext. HD.
    they make the controller board and SATA card one piece. 
    CURRENT MFG. THAT HAVE controller board and SATA cards as one piece are :  WD USB drives, and Toshiba USB Canvio
    However Toshiba didnt USED to do that, but they started doing it at the end of 2013.
    avoid those 2.
    To avoid that nonsense, buy Hitachi drives in USB.
    Or, the best option:
    Save money and invest in a bare hard drive backup and redundancy plan
    Its cheaper
    less fuss
    more reiable, removes the nasty failure point of SATA card interfaces.
    takes up lot less space.
    Bare hard drives and docks. The most reliable and cheapest method of hard drive data storage, archives, and redundancies
    The best method for your data archives and redundancies, which is also the least expensive, the most reliable, and the most compact option is the purchase of naked hard drives and at least one USB 3.0 HD dock ($40 roughly).
    While regarding Time Machine and your Macbook or desktop, your primary backup is best saved to a conventional USB (or Firewire / thunderbolt) hard drive inside an enclosure, the most important part of your data protection begins after your 1st / primary Time Machine / backup; and these are your secondary (most important) data storage devices, archives and their redundancies.
    However bare hard drives and docks (below) also work perfectly as a Time Machine backup, this is for home use, since the docking station is certainly not very portable as a notebook Time Machine backup device should be; nor should bare HD be packed around with a notebook, rather remain at home or office.
    Six terabytes of 2.5" HD pictured below in a very compact space.
    Bare hard drives and docks have the lowest cost, the highest reliability, and take up the smallest storage space
    Drawbacks:
    1. Care and knowledge in general handling of naked hard drives (how not to shock a bare HD, and how to hold them properly). Not a genuine drawback.
    Advantages:
    1. By far the least expensive method of mass HD storage on a personal basis. Highest quality naked HD can be purchased in bulk very cheap.
    2. Eliminates the horrible failure point of SATA bridges and interfaces between external drives and the computer.
    3. Per square foot you can store more terabytes of data this way than any other.
    4. Fast, easy, no fuss and most simplex method of data storage on hard drives.

  • Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac-

    Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

    One of two things:
    1.  Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key.  If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
    2.  If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log".  Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
    ./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
    If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again

  • Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

    My Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

    Yes, updates run each time I reinstall Bill.
    On one forum, it was suggested to download Adobe cleaner.  I ran it every time before reinstalling.  Adobe XI Pro works after that, but is so unstable.  Cant figure out what triggers it to stop launching.

  • Mac Pro won't recognize ethernet connection

    My Mac Pro won't recognize the Ethernet cable when it's plugged in. I know the cable and connection are good because my MacBook Pro recognizes it with no problem. I've had it for around a year, but have always used the airport to connect to the internet. It has two Ethernet ports on the back and I've tried both. Is there anything I need to do to configure the NIC card?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ryan

    No, but you do need to configure the Ethernet port in Network preferences. Open Network preferences and select the Ethernet port. Click on the Advanced button then on the TCP/IP tab. Set the Configure IPv4 drop down menu to DHCP. Set the Configure IPv6 drop down menu to Off. Click on the Apply button. If all is well you should see a valid IP address in the network settings for the port. If you see an IP address starting with 169., then it means your Ethernet port is not getting an IP address from your router. You should have an Ethernet cable connected from the Ethernet port on the computer to one of the LAN ports on your router.

  • Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize epson scanner

    Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize my epson perfection 1670 scanner. Other applications recognize this scanner. What can I do?
    All software and drivers are updated.
    Acrobat x pro ver10.1.4
    Mac os x 10.8.1, mountian lion

    Twain Sane can be downloaded HERE.  Others have recommended it as well and it is a viable option if your scanner is no longer supported under Mountain Lion.
    It is a bit of work to install and configure, but the developer says a preference pane is available and makes it a bit easier. Check out the site for instructions on how to install and configure it.

  • Yoga 2 Pro won't recognize my Seagate external hard drive

    I have a Yoga 2 Pro that won't recognize my Seagate Backup Slim 2TB USB 3.0 external hard drive. 
    I ordered one from Amazon and it didn't recognize immediately when I plugged it in. The disk drive shows up in Devices and in Device manager with the Yellow caution triangle, but it never shows up in drives under my computer or in Disk Management (Where you change partitions, etc.)
    So I ordered a replacement from amazon, I thought it was broken. I had tried it in a different computer and the same thing happened so I assumed it was the drive. On a whim I tried it on the alternate machine again except this time I bypassed the USB hub and plugged it directly into USB 2.0, it worked!
    I installed a Paragon HFS+ software (it's for Mac Only Seagate drives to work with windows, even though this drive is NOT Mac only) and the installation failed, and my computer started messing up. It wouldn't completley power off nor restart. It just hung at the shutting down screen indefinitely. 
    Finally, I let the computer die, turned it back on, plugged in the hard drive and it worked. But I had already ordered the replacement. So I had to return the original and go tthe replacement and now it won't read at all. 
    Since I plugged it in, my computer will NEVER shut down, it will just sleep unless the battery dies, it won't restart either, it'll just hang at the restarting screen. 
    The drive still won't work, and the touchscreen doesn't work sometimes after a reboot. (Because I have to force shut it off everytime I want it off.)
    I went into power settings and turned everything on max power (To help my battery die faster) and even changed the USB power option thing to disabled. I still don't know how I got it to work that ONE time and now I'm stuck. Any help or advice?

    Oh I also had a message that came up when I tried to reconnect it to my comptuer. This is what the message stated:
    The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
    and my only options I have are
    Initialize..., Ignore, Eject
    what are my options of getting my data restored? I don't care so much about the drive, I am concern about my 2TB of data on there. Please anyone help me with this!!!!! I am open to suggestions to get my data back.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro won't edit document created by Illustrator 2 and saved as PDF

    I've tried multiple things, but can't get Acrobat Pro to edit text within a PDF file which was created by Illustrator cs2 "Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical.  Touchup cannot create a text selection area.".   I've searched google, read help....
    Fix was to download NitroPDF.   It quickly and easily edited the text.   So why won't Adobe do it...

    The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

  • Acrobat Pro won't load since I reinstalled Photoshop

    Had to reinstall Photoshop CS5 today. Acrobat Pro 9 now won't load. Says Suite Product Activation Needed. It asked that I start another component of the suite. I had Photoshop open and it would not load. Any suggestions are welcome. See attched alert image.

    I hope this gets through, since I am now not able to even log in to my adobe account (even though I've been an Adobe customer for over 20 years). My user ID and password stopped working at 4:00 today. Was on the phone with adobe for hours, and they are not able to even get me access to my account or products that I bought from them.
    Yes Adobe CS5. Tried restarting. Thanks, but didn't work. Adobe said I need to do a complete reinstall of CS5 to get Acrobat to work. I asked "Then why do you give the option of reinstalling apps individually?" No answer. That's when we discovered that I could no longer even access my account or download my purchased products. They said they are "elevating the matter" and I will here from someone in 24-48 hours. So apparently "elevating" means "We are hanging up now. Talk to you in a few days." Try explaining that to my clients.
