Acrobat 9 - Document Insert From Scanner

In Acrobat 9, there needs to be a
Document > Insert > From Scanner
Document > Scan to PDF
is good for creating new documents, but is not suited for quickly scanning and inserting a page into your current PDF. To insert a page, it creates a new document and then requires you to drag and drop the page to the original document. This seems like an unnecessary multi-step process just to insert a page.

Great post very useful so I have painful to do this with my scanner canon please can you help me

Insert from scanner - all menu items grayed out (Acrobat XI)

I can create documents from the scanner (e.g. Edit > Create > PDF from Scanner), but I cannot insert pages directly from the scanner (e.g. Tools > More Insert Options > Insert from Scanner). Any suggestions why that might be the case?
I am running Version 11.0.6 on Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. The scanner is an HP OfficeJetPro 8500A Plus on my wired LAN.

I answered my own question. The document into which I was trying to insert a scanned page was signed.

Adobe Acrobat XI: Create PDF from Scanner

There is a lengthy (2-minute) delay for the scanner window to appear when attempting to Create PDF from Scanner with Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.09) and Mac OS X 10.10 (14A389). I am using a Canon LiDE 100 scanner, and the latest Canon scanner driver:
LiDE 100 Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8/10/9/10.10): This product is a TWAIN-compliant scanner driver for Canon color image scanner.

Acrobat 8 can't locate scanner to create PDF from printed document using OCR

Hello,
I have an Epson scanner that is my default scanner on my OSX (10.6). Every program I have locates my scanner perfectly except Acrobat 8.0. Is there something I can do?
From the home dialogue box I click "Create PDF from Scanner". The next dialogue box opens and the Tab "Please Select a Device" doesn't let me scroll to find my scanner. So the scan button is greyed out and I can't do anything. Is there something I can do to make Acrobat clearly find my scanner?
-Luis

Check to see if they have a Native (not universal Binary) Twain Driver. Adobe refuses to allow universal Binary Twain Drivers in their programs.
Either use a Software package from the SANE/TWAIN Project. (look up on Google). Or use a Pakage Like SilverFast.
Before downloading the SANE/Twain Driver you have to look and see if the have a package for your current OS and for your particular Scanner. Stayaway from the SDK's unless your a Programer.
Then when you install all the pieces and set up open Acrobat and go to document Create PDF from Scanner choose SANE/Twain. Should be able to scan with it.
If you use SliverFast it is a standalone package Just scan and save as a PDF then open in Acrobat. or save as a Tiff or jpeg. Acrobat hasn't worked with a scanner since Macs went from OS9 to OSX.

Create & Insert from ISIS Scanner Fujitsu S510

Is there a workaround or plugin to make Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro recognize my ISIS only scanner; Fujitsu S510? Acrobat for Mac see's the scanner and allows for inserting documents into a file from scanner why not on my windows PC?
Can't see Fujitsu ISIS scanner using Custom Scan either:
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the lack of TWAIN driver for the Fujitsu S510 means that it can't be controlled directly from Acrobat on Windows. However, it can still be optimized to work with Acrobat, check out the blog article Using the Fujitsu S510 ScanSnap with Adobe Acrobat for more details.

Insert from File puts an Adobe ad in my document

I'm on a deadline to get a document out tonight. The document consists of 6 pages. The first two were brought in by my scanner and saved as PDF. Then I opened that document and used Tools | Insert from File to add 4 existing 1-page PDF documents to the end of my first document. This seemed to go okay until I reviewed the resulting PDF document. In place of page #3 is an ad for Adobe Acrobat/Reader. There is a big logo and then the text,
For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later."
When I try to delete the page, the original page does not show up. When I re-insert the page, I get the ad. If I re-insert at a different location in the document, I get the ad. I've never had this happen before. What is going on and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks,
Dave
Acrobat 10.1.8

The page is not an ad. It is displayed INSTEAD OF what you want to see when the viewer doesn't understand what to do, and is the best it can do. So check your versions and software. if all seems well a full screen shot showing the Acrobat window and the message may be best. Also, do you get other messages e.g. about installing Flash?

Acrobat 9 Quits When Create PDF from Scanner Selected

Hi. I wonder if anyone can advise please.
I have recently installed Acrobat 9 on my MacBook Pro and have plenty of RAM. However, I can "Create PDF from Scanner" just the once. After that, Acrobat quits when I select Scan or quits if I cancel the scan.
I have tried the following:
1. Troubleshoot System Errors & Freezes
2. New User account
3. Recreated Preferences
4. Booted from separate disk
5. Repaired disk permissions
6. Have no third party plug-ins installed
7. Have run Repair Acrobat
8. Changed Universal Access
9. Defragmented disk & repaired files
10. Safe Boot and reinstall Acrobat
Nothing has worked except when I clean install I can scan through Acrobat once.
I can scan from the scanner software - Lexmark 4850 - with a jpeg straight to Acrobat but want to try to solve the issue of scanning straight from the app.
Thanks for your help people.
Regards
Paul

After I discovered my problem of quitting after completing the scan of the first side of a 2-sided document and decided to go to Adobe for help, I should have known I was in real trouble after following their instructions for locating the Acrobat serial number. After bringing up the splash screen and clicking on it, instead of seeing the number the splash screen disappeared! So I had no option but to use the phone. Then their help person couldn't give me the serial number- he had to transfer me- and I chose to stay with him for help instead. He decided it was a conflict between the Acrobat & HP software and ended the help session.
I then did some on-line research and discovered others with the same problem, and came up with the comparison test with the Windows version. Adobe's phone system didn't recognize my Case #, but the second Help person said it worked fine. At that point, I got the feeling that I was in real trouble. After another hour going over the same ground and repeated denials that their software was at fault, the Helper refused my request that they do a Windows comparison test or send me a Windows version to test myself and promised to call me back with results of their "research". That call never came.
On the third call, again with the Case # unrecognized by the phone system, the Helper was even more unhelpful, probably after reading the record of the first two calls. He insisted on going back to the machine and over the same ground once again, and I ended the call.
I agree that the on line approach is better, and I may have to make a double call to get the serial number (neither of the two I have, each different on the case or on the CD worked) and try that if my request for a supervisor fails. Fortunately they are so incompetent that they can't track starting over.
I'm not a programmer, but have lots of varying experience with computers dating back to the first Atari-400. Since your Acrobat uses only the Twain driver component from your scanner software, the first place to look for a problem is in the Acrobat software, especially since the software doesn't run again after the first use without reinstalling, and the scanner continues to perform properly using it's installed software. The Windows comparison test such as Tim Whitfield was able to make, would clearly establish the Mac version of the Acrobat software to be at fault, but would still not resolve our problems. Unfortunately I hold out little hope for either you or I with Adobe, since neither their phone nor the online help has come up with a prior fix. This indicates a bug fix requirement, which for something like this looks to be a relatively long time in coming.

Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
"Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.

Create PDF from scanner with Acrobat 11.0.6

Ever since Acrobat updated to 11.0.6 the create pdf from scanner option will not complete. I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a Macbook Air as well as a Macbook Pro. The Macbook Air updated to Acrobat version 11.0.6 sometime last week and that's when it stopped working. The Macbook Pro updated just this morning and stopped working as well.
I click on File > Create > PDF from scanner, which then brings up the Acrobat Scan window. HPScan shows up as the default scanner and click the scan button leaving the usual default options unchanged. The HP Scan window then pops up and I click scan. The document scans and appears in the HP Scan window; so far so good. It will ask me if I want to scan other pages, to which I click no. I then click the return button as usual. Normally this would then return me to back to Acrobat, but this is not happening. It just hangs there at the HP Scan window. This started happening when Acrobat updated to 11.0.6. If I go into the Acrobat preferences and change the Scan driver option under Conver to PDF from Twain to ImageCapture it works. It used to work with the TWAIN option.
Any ideas?

Hi,
We are investigating this issue and will get back to you once we have any updates.
Thanks

Create PDF from Scanner using Acrobat X Pro

I am using trial Acrobat X Pro. When I attempt to Create PDF documents from Scanner using Epson Perfection 4490 Photo flat-bed scanner I get pop-up that states Epson cannot be started. This also occurs when I Create PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan > Scanner when I select Epson Perfection 4490 scanner. My scanner is turned on when I attempt to create PDF from scanner. I have no problem scanning documents and then creating PDF documents from file, but I would like to eliminate this step. Thanks in advance--any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is a tricky problems as hundreds have had the same problem. Research on the net demonstrated that no one had the solution. Some have even thrown perfectly good scanners away. The problem is most likely obtaining permission from Win 7 security. Don't bad mouth Adobe Acrobat or your scanner software. This solution will work and has been tested to work. You must be logged in as administrator. This will not help Mac User.
1. Find the file acroscanbroker.exe
2. Select properties
3. Select security tab
4. Select "users/*********
5. Edit settings
6. Full control Check box
7. Modify         Check box
8. Read and Execute    Check box
9. Read            Check box
10. Write           Check box
Your scanner should now work and any grayed out menus should come to life.

I don't have the option "Create from Scanner". How do I scan my documents?

I am trying to scan multiple documents (to save and email), but I don't have the option of "Create from Scanner" on the Adobe Reader XI. How do I scan my documents (multiple pages on one file, not each page on a seperate file)?

Nearly all word processors have the option to "insert" a picture or "aquire" an image so repeatedly accumulate your images in any document

Preview Insert Page from scanner How to Change Settings

I often look to add pages to existing scanned PDF documents using Preview's Insert Page from Scanner Function in Mavericks. Selecting this automatically opens a scan dialog. When i use the flatbed to scan, it seems to always scan in black and white vs. greyscale or color. I can't find anyway to change these settings. When i scan from the document feeder, it automatically scans in color. I think there has to be a default settings for this somewhere ,but I can't find it. Anyone know where the settings may be?

Thanks for the reminder to update my product info! It's been a while since I posted. My scanner is a Canon MX892. The window you show, I see when I use Image Capture or Import From Scanner, but there is no pop-up or any menu to change any settings when I use Insert Page From Scanner. I use this function to add on pages to an original PDF, which is the easiest way I have found to do that. Here is the screen I get - no ability to change any settings other than Flatbed vs. Doc Feeder.

How can I change the file version for scanned PDFs to 1.4 when using the "PDF from Scanner" feature from Acrobat XI? By default it's always saved as 1.5.

Because our IT system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we need to "PDF from scanner" feature to store the scanned PDFs in version 1.4.
Acrobat 9 always saved it in 1.4, but starting with Acrobat X, the PDFs are saved in 1.5.
There must be a setting or configuration somewhere where I can change this.
I already tried modifying the distiller's standard joboptions, but that did not work.
Thanks for any help

We use in our software an open-source pdf library that only supports pdf versions up to 1.4. I know it is old, but it's not that simple to exchange it.
But I just had a look into the Actions as you suggested. This way I get it to work. It costs one additional click, so that's acceptable.
Thanks for the support.

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

Can't open a doc in the document cloud from Acrobat Pro DC????

I signed up for the document could at the same time I bought Acrobat Pro DC for mac. I can get to the document cloud from a browser and from there open it in Acrobat Pro DC. But ... File/Open in Acrobat Pro DC offers me the choices of opening from the computer or from the Creative cloud -- and not from the document cloud. It does list iCloud and GoogleDrive as available drives -- so I guess I am better off using iCloud or Google Drive instead of the Adobe document cloud. I cannot get from the Creative cloud (for which I have no account) to the document cloud. Seems odd that this is the way Adobe engineers arranged it.

Can you please post a screenshot of the File-Open dialog that you see in Acrobat DC?
Thanks,
