Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install.  How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install.  How to force it to see new scanner install?  Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows.  Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3.  I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager.  (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background.  When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware.  If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device.  In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred.  In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner.  The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on.  Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed.  Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software.  This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software.  This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected.  Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware.  Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5 Install Error:  "Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid".  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I had Acrobat Standard 9.5 on a laptop that broke.  Adobe Acrobat Standard is paid for and all I need. I had to get a new PC (Windows 8.1) and I did downloaded Standard 9.5 but when I went to install it the installer gave me an “Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid”.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Rahul,
    No error numbers other than the message I mentioned previously.
    I tried the transforms repair and it reported no Acrobat product (correct, none yet installed) or no administrative privileges (I am the administrator and have done previous administrative actions).
    When I unzip the Acrobat file this is what is in the setup ini file:

  • How to re-install Adobe Acrobat Standard XI after re-format my computer?

    Hi,. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard XI last year and I re-formated my computer 1 month ago and all software have been removed from my computer including the Adobe Acrobat Standard XI. I would like to know how can I retrieve/ re-install it? I tried to log in to the Adobe website but not sure how to do it. I am using Windows 8.   I will be grateful if someone can help

    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. You can log into your account at Adobe (ID probably the same you used to post here) to get your S/N as long as you registered. When you are successful, be sure to backup the install file and your S/N to a backup HD and/or CD so it is available in the future.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 10 download

    I have a license for Adobe Acrobat Standard X but no media (this is a new Dell computer).  I've looked all over the site and I get directed to Adobe Acrobat Pro X to download. I tried downloading Pro X and using my license but that failed since it's only a license for Acrobat Standard.
    If someone could please direct me to the location for Acrobat Standard 10 download I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Same question here.  I'm all about saving the planet by not providing media--except when it is also used opportunistically to help augment sales of the upstream products (in this case, Acrobat Pro, which I'm sure will be the end result of this being so obfuscating, at least for many ... nothing like good, old fashioned trickery to drive sales!).
    As a sidenote/editorial on this:  Kudos to Microsoft, as they have recently really loosened the reigns with locking serial numbers to specific versions of core software (e.g., Windows, Office)--and also have begun providing easily located download locations for these products that are available to the public.  Without a serial number, you picka version and run a trial.  Want to activate one?  No problem--pop the serial number/product number in for the version you own, and bang!  You activate the version you have a license for.  It's not rocket science, but it is progress--and it punishes paying customers far less than these earlier practices of hiding media/downloads and serial locking used to.
    Anyway, the card for Adobe Acrobat X Standard we received simply says:
    DO NOT DISCARD
    this card includes the serial number for Adobe Acrobat X Standard.  Keep this card in a safe place.  you will need the serial number to reinstall the software.
    http://www.adobe.com/support
    [Something in Spanish]
    [Something in German]
    Product Serial Number
    The flip side has UPC / SKU information.
    So let me see if I missed any of the proposed solutions offered so far, none of which (it seems to me) offer any type of workable solution whatsoever:
    Download the Pro version instead, or the updates for the software you don't have, using the first link proposed.  Problem:  You can't install/activate the Standard software using the available Pro download, and the updates don't install the software.
    Contact Adobe.  Problem:  You didn't buy the software from them, ergo, it's not their problem, and they probably won't help you.
    Oh, for crying out loud, you're still buying software, why don't you just download cracked versions like smart people?  Problem:  It's an interesting proposition, but not really workable in a business environment.
    Did I miss any?
    I called Dell Pro Support the day we received the first system like this.  Why?  One day, I know I will need it, and won't have the time to deal with it when we do.  Call me crazy ... I guess I'm a planner.
    Quick as a flash, Dell's suggestions were as follows:
    Rev. 1:  "Just download it."  This is such an elegant solution!  I don't know why I had not thought of this before.  Only a fool couldn't figure out instructions so crisp, clean, and elegant.  One snag--I'm apparently a fool, but smart enough to know I'm a fool, so I pointed out that I need some more specific information than that.
    Rev. 2:  "Download it from Adobe's site."  This is even better.  I love specific, foolproof solutions like "use [their] website"!  The web is just dripping with awesome!!  And with only (conservatively) a trillion odd webpages out there, you can find anything!  One pointed problem though:  fools (like me) have problems sifting through all those pesky pages, especially finding software that isn't available to download.  Still, it feels we're making progress.  I protest my foolishness yet again to the support technician ... maybe we could guide my foolish fingers through the process of finding something as obvious as "... Adobe's site."
    Rev. 3:  "You can download it from CNET's Download.com site"  This was very exciting news.  Apart from one thing--they do (unbeknownst to me, but apparently knownst to Dell) offer a download of Acrobat 9 Standard.  Actually something I did *not* already know, but as a certified fool, I deem the process of using an Acrobat X Standard serial number to activate a downloaded copy of Acrobat 9 Standard too prone to failure, so we continue ...
    Rev. 4: "Well, you'll have to contact Adobe for help with this, we are just the reseller."  As a fool who has been on this treadmill before, I explain that Adobe's support is trained to quickly spot and root out fools like me the instant we call.  They use trickery like, "You'll have to contact the OEM for support on this software.  If they truly run out of options, they can internally escalate and contact our product support team directly."  At this point, I thank the technician emphatically for his earnest efforts at helping someone so foolish with such a silly problem as not being able to reinstall the software he paid for with his shiny new 'puter.  I'm sure there are far more pressing issues than dealing with the likes of me.  After thanking him, I confirmed the technician's name, and asked for the case number again, so that if (i.e., when) Adobe explained how they may not be able to help a fool who bought this software via an OEM bundle, and that I would have to go back to the OEM for help with this, I could quickly reference the case #, and escalate the issue for a more workable solution.  As I said, I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time.  Apparently, this triggered a though on the other end ...
    Rev. 5: "Do you mind if I place you on hold while I research this a minute?"  So after about 15 more minutes on hold, the technician at least came back with a conclusion of, "I'm not sure, and neither is our internal team I have immediate access to.  We are reaching out internally to our product support team for Adobe products and they are going to have to get in touch with our internal contacts at Adobe.  We'll call you back."
    So stay tuned.
    Rev. 6: "Apparently, this just got SKU'd in our system about a week ago, and the software ISN'T AVAILABLE yet ... we are going to have physical media and will be able to send it to you ... there may be a download site available at some point, just not right now"   I'm skeptical this will end up being a media solution--it seems that they will eventually provide a download link or some way of registering/linking the serial number on the card with an online account with Adobe, in order to facilitate downloads in the future.
    By my count, including the earlier attempts others have made at solving this, this makes about 9 well thought out, proven, and tested solutions to such a silly problem.  We are still waiting on one that is foolproof though ... if only I were more technically apt, I'm sure one of the others offered herein would have solved this for me by now.  Yet I continue to wait ...

  • How do I customize Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to do what I'd like?  Actually this a multiple-question inquiry.

    Note, I was unable to find a "How TO", Tutorial, or FAQ relevant to the following questions.
    For instance, how do I easily append to an existing PDF with minimum clicks (which I could do with an earlier version of Acrobat Standard)?
    I'm using a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to scan documents and in certain situations, append to existing PDFs.
    I'd prefer to trial the Adobe Acrobat Standard vs. Pro DC because that's what I intend to purchase.  I'd prefer to not get accustomed to Pro if Standard is very different.
    1.  After selecting Edit > Preferences and specifying certain defaults, most take effect as suspected but some do not, like the one's I'm going to elaborate on below.  Why?
    2. Alternatively, is there a Tool or a way to create a local customized Profile and default to that Profile to avoid having to repeat the following steps?
       This should not be confused with the online Profile (or Communities Profile) whereby one states one's Name etc.
    File
    > Create
       > PDF from scanner
         > Custom scan
           > Color Mode: Black and White
           > Append to existing file
             > Browse
               > Select file
                 > Scan
    This is a cumbersome task to repeat each time I'm ready to scan.  Using an earlier version of Acrobat Standard, I'd simply double-click the PDF I wished to append to,
    Acrobat would default to the appropriate scanner, and know that I wished to append to an existing file without me having to select that option.  Presently it doesn't appear to be that easy/simple.
    Perhaps it is (or can be with guidance).  Please assist.
    3. Please find attached the following snapshots/images... CORRECTION, IF ADOBE SUPPORT CONTACTS ME ABOUT THIS, I'LL GLADLY FORWARD SCREENSHOTS.
       Meaning, there does not appear to be a way to include screenshots on Forums.
    3a See Error.  Is there a way to get a more accurate description of the error (i.e., turn on debugging etc.)?
    3b When Creating a PDF, the prompts still seen after clicking "Configure Presets" and changing Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White.  Why?
    3c Custom Scan Input, where I changed Color Mode from AutoDetect to Black and White and why I must also tell Acrobat to append AND to browse to a pre-defined default location?
    4. Must I be "Logged in" to use the product?  The first time launching it, I was prompted to login using the credentials used to create the account and download the product.  Now when using the product it appears to be automatically "Logged in" or online.  I would prefer to use it in an "offline mode" if there is such a thing.
    5. Once the product is purchased, what are my support options?  Can questions be answered or issues resolved with a phone call or are they limited to the Acrobat Forum(s) and/or Adobe Communities?  Even after clicking "Ready to contact us?  Start here." I'm only given the Forum option (over and over) vs. Chat vs. Email Support etc.
    If I've posted these inquiries to the wrong Forum or Discussion, if prudent, please collectively relocate them.  Regardless, please advise.  Thanks!

    uninstall all acrobat/reader versions and retry installing.

  • Installation for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and Premiere Elements 8

    Hey guys,
    I was hoping to see if anyone could help me out with this. I recently bought a new laptop, and obviously, I was stuck a few days moving everything from my old one to my new one. So when it came to install the Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 in the new computer, I noticed that the installer here at the Adobe Web Page is not accepting my serial number for that product. And additionally, I don't see the installer for the Premiere Elements 8 and I don't know if the Photoshop Elements 8 installer in the web page is gonna do the same thing like the Acrobat Standard 9. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

    Hi DJRicky7,
    You can download Premiere Elements 8 from the direct download links available at: Direct Download Links for Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Elements 8 | ProDesignTools
    Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
    For Acrobat 9 Std. you can click on the link: https://sendnow.acrobat.com/m/g.ashx?i=rol7pInCLAR6FfBXHhVUfA&x=qPtk3SqdJjawgwvDY49b3A

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard I/O Reads Writes Out of Control

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 on Windows XP SP3 with the latest updates installed. In the last few months I have frequently caught acrobat.exe running even when I had no acrobat windows open. The way I know when this is occurring is because my disk read/write light goes crazy. When I open up the task manager I see that Acrobat has hundreds of thousands of disk I/O reads and writes. It is almost like it is caching itself or something. Anyway, does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to make this stop? Right now I just have to go in and force close the app via the Task Manager.
    Thanks in advance,
    CF

    Thanks but I have tried both with and without acrotray running first and it still occurrs. Additionally, when I open it in relation to reboots doesn't matter. The only thing that I think might change behavior is whether or not Acrobat has been opened inside a web browser. There may be some question as to whether or not IE or FF close it properly.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.12 keeps crashing

    Hello
    I have an issue with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.12.  When I load up Acrobat and go into the EDIT menu and then choose Preferences I get the following error.
    I initially uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.12 and then reinstalled the application but this made no difference.  I then rebuilt the laptop and installed the XP operating system and then Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.12. When I go into the preferences option the same thing happens.
    This was not the original problem I was experiencing.  The initial problem I had was after I opened a PDF file, and choose File \Export \ Word document and then the settings option the application shut down with no error message being displayed.
    This is when I went to the preferences menu option to see if any setting was affecting the export of the PDF file.
    Word 2007 is also installed on the laptop which has the word 2007 PDF option.  I have disabled this add-in but still no joy.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0- 2 different part numbers?

    I see two different part numbes while shopping for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0. 22002418 and 22002420. Does anyone know the difference?

    I don't know about the numbers, though it appears to be related to specific versions. For instance, you have a full retail version and an OEM version with the same number (only OEM added). There is a DVD version supposedly. What raises flags for me are the Retail versus 1 user versions. As far as I know, all versions are 1 user unless you are purchasing a volume license. The other flag is the sale of the OEM version on line. That is not consistent with the OEM process. You may be able to purchase a legit copy at this location, but you are taking a risk. The site looks perfectly legit, but most bogus sites do. Good luck in whatever decision you make.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard install doesn't recognize my version of IE

    When I try to install Adobe Acrobat Standard 9, I get an error that says I need IE6 or greater and the install will not finish.  I have IE9.  Why doesn't it recognize that I have IE9, and how do I get around this?  Thanks.
    Update:  I have since installed IE10, and am still having the same problem.

    Awesome suggestiont. Your solution worked perfectly and it was a breeze. Thanks!!

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 6 & Windows 8

    I own Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.
    Can I use it on a Windows 8.1 computer?
    If not, can I upgrade Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 at minimal cost?
    I will be purchasing a new Windows 8.1 laptop and discarding my old laptop.
    LenD

    You may be able to get it to work with some workarounds that I have tried on various Win7 versions. The 64-bit system creates additional problems, so you may want to ask if a 32-bit system will meet your need. Even with the workarounds (if they would work for you), the extra effort to use them gets annoying quickly. You would also have problems reading a lot of newer PDFs I would guess. Now is probably the time to purchase a new version (as TSN, AA6 does not qualify for an upgrade). There was a sale before Christmas, but not sure if there will be another.

  • Adobe acrobat standard save pdf to jpeg is it possibel?

    I have a question about adobe acrobat standard.
    can you save pdf to jpeg? or is it just the Pro version that it works on?

    Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
    1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
    2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
    If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard XI print issue

    When opening a PDF in internet explorer, adobe acrobat won’t read pre chosen print driver settings.
    When using acrobat stand alone, not in internet explorer, it does read the print settings.
    Specifically the issue is you set up print driver as single sided print under finishing.
    Only when you open PDF in IE, does acrobat choose 2 sided, it doesn’t read your single side setting under finishing.
    This does not happen for adobe reader by itself, with no acrobat. If acrobat is installed in addition to adobe reader, it still happens for acrobat.
    Windows 7 64bit Enterprise
    Internet Explorer - 10.0.9200.16897
    Adobe Reader XI - 11.0.3
    Adobe Acrobat Standard XI - 11.0.0 also tried update to 11.0.09
