Acrobat  adobe  pdf  does  not  show  up  canon  scanner  using

Hi-I have just installed adobe acrobat pro 6-the problem is i want to scan in some documents and turn them into PDF's but my adobe acrobat does not realise or show that i have a scanner (canon 5000F).I have contacted canon-and they suggested i downloaded some new software for the scanner but when i try and install the new softawre it will not install and just starts up the printer utility thing at the top.They also suggested i try to uninstall the drivers for the scanner first but again when i download the uninstall utility and try to run it it does not run/set up but just starts the printer utility thing again.How can i make adobe acrobat pro 6 realise i have a scanner so as i can scan in documents to turn them into PDF's ? Any suggestions plaese
thanks
rick

Concentrate on getting the scanner working without any Adobe software. Once you can scan to a file, any OSX program (except Adobe) that can read the file can generate PDF files via the Print command.

  • Adobe PDF Does Not Appear In printer List

    My computer runs Windows XP. Acrobat Standard 6 is installed. "Adobe pdf" does not show in the list of printers. I have installed all available updates, but it still does not show in printer list. I have done a google search on this and have come up with nothing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to re-install it, after deleting all folders from previous instalation. If still not works, lets see, are you the adm of your network? If not, may this is a network permission while trying to install a new printer. It can be different versions of acrobats installed at same computer too.

    Regarding printing PDF documents...It depends on the PDF document that you are trying to print.  In general, it will take longer to print more complex and larger PDF documents.
    If you are willing to share your PDF document (that takes forever to print) with us at [email protected], we can test it with the same version (11.6.3) of Adobe Reader on different iOS versions (iOS 7.x vs. iOS 8.x).  Please include the link to this forum (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1616231) in your email message for reference.
    Actual printing is handled by iOS (not by Adobe Reader) via AirPrint over Wi-Fi connection.  We've heard from other users about iOS 8 Wi-Fi connectivity problems.

  • PDF does not show up

    Hi all,
    The following is my code snippet in JSP for a project which i used to generate a PDF file. But the PDF does not show up . The Adobe loads and i get a pop-up saying
    'Acrobat could not open 'Example[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been corrupted.'
    This is the code snippet i used:
    <%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
    <%
    String s = new String("Hai this is PDF Sample");
    byte file[] = s.getBytes();
    try
    BufferedInputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(file));
    BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Example.pdf");
    response.setContentType("application/pdf ; charset=iso-8859-1");
    int bytes = 0;
    byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
    while((bytes = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
    outputStream.write(buffer,0,bytes);
    inputStream.close();

  • Adobe Connect does not show tool pointer/cursor when sharing Photoshop...

    I am an online instructor and one of the courses I teach is a Photoshop course. Each week I host a Live Lecture session where we use Adobe Connect to demonstrate techniques and tools in Photoshop CS6.
    I am receiving several complaints from students because Adobe Connect does not correctly show my cursor/pointer when it changes for each tool in Photoshop. All the students see is an arrow with a small icon of a face/monitor.
    This is confusing to the students, because I am trying to demonstrate how to use a tool and they are unable to see the actual tool. For example, when I select the brush tool - they should be able to see the brush circle as the cursor. I then demonstrate how to resize the brush - but they cannot see it. Another example is any of the healing/cloning tools. If I select the healing brush tool, they cannot see the circle (brush). I then demonstrate how to record a healing point by selecting the Option (alt) key - but again the students cannot see the pointer change to the crosshairs to record the healing point - as all they see is the arrow with icon at all times.
    Students are complaining that they are not able to comprehend what I am demonstrating because they are not able to get the full affect of the demonstration without seeing it how it should be. Prior to switching to Adobe Connect, we used WebEx - which showed the students everything correctly as I was demonstrating it. I was amazed to learn that Adobe Connect does not show everything - especially since I am using another Adobe program within Adobe Connect - you would think they would be fully compatible and able to show everything.
    Thank you

    I just saw this option for the first time last week. Very exciting to see it finally in Connect! There is a small amount of lag for the viewers, but nothing that can't be compensated for.

  • Print to Adobe pdf does not give option for .pdf file

    I recently installed Acrobat X Pro.  I have a 10-page pdf document open in Acrobat.  I want to eliminate the first page and save the other 9 in another file. In previous versions, I would select Print and then select the printer "Adobe PDF".  When I do this now, the Save As File Type gives me only one choice - All Files *.* - which is useless.  If I am in any other application the Save As File Type comes up .pdf. I don't think it is the installation, because I installed this on my desktop and laptop and it is doing the same thing in both of them.  The operating system for both computers is Windows 7 64-bit.  What can I do to fix this?  Is it just a matter of changing a setting that I am not aware of?  Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

    For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out.  I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command.  From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat.  Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine?  And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it?  By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
    Any other suggestions anyone?

  • Exporting pdf does NOT show my headers and footers

    I export number files to my administrators. I've noticed when I print my file directly from my computer in iWork/Numbers it prints and show the footer and header. However, when I send a bcc to myself when I attach the pdf file to my administrator, it does not show or print my headers and footers. Any ideas?

    Re-reading the original question, it does appear that Gogoette is exporting to PDF then attaching the file to an email versus using the "Send via email as PDf" operation. In that case, setting it to Page View for the export will solve the problem. I had originally thought "Send via email as PDF" was being used. What I noticed is that it doesn't give you the choice of page versus sheet view but if you first go through the motions of exporting, it sets it up. In prior threads about exporting to PDF, we have all recommended using Print, not export, and choosing Print to PDF (rather than to a printer) as the best way to create a PDF. It gives more flexibility, such as allowing you to choose which pages to "print to PDF".

  • Lexmark x264dn does not show up as scanner

    For the life of me, I can't figure this out.
    My Lexmark x264dn (networked, ethernet) does not show up as a scanner in Snow Leopard. It installs, the drivers update, but in System Preferences it's only displayed as a printer. I checked Lexmark website, am using the most current drivers - scanning and printing - and nothing.
    It works as a scanner, but only if I use Lexmark's cumbersome web interface. It's connected to our Airport Extreme and is recognized on all four Macs and one PC in the house. Any thoughts?

    Not only doesn't it work with 10.6 but I couldn't get the scanner to work with Windows 7 either. I had their tech support try for three hours by them using remote access to my iMac. They finally gave up. I don't know how they can list this as being compatible with either operating system.

  • IPhone 6 does not show in iTunes when using WiFi

    My iPhone 6+ shows up in iTunes when connected via USB. But if I disconnect the cable and turn off iTunes and then come back later it does not show up like my iPhone 5 did using OS 7.
    I have the option selected in iTunes to "automatically connect using WiFi".
    I have tried turning off my phone and restarting iTunes but it does not help.
    Any suggestions?

    Greetings Paul,
    It sounds as though you are attempting to sync with iTunes via WiFi, and are running into some complications. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes WiFi sync:
    Sync using Wi-Fi
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
    When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
    The iOS device is charging.
    iTunes is open on the computer.
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    While the iOS device is in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device doesn't appear in the Devices section or you can't sync, please try these steps.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Word 2007 "Save as Adobe PDF" - Pictures not showing up in PDF

    Good Afternoon,
    I have run into this error recently when using the "Save as Adobe PDF" to publish Word 2007 report.
    Each report has an table - pasted from Excel 2007 "as a picture - when printed". The reports have a ton of other jpg pictures.
    After creation, when I open the PDF, some of the tables appear to have become transparent. Where the picture used to be is a selection box, as if there were a picture there, but it's merely blank. All of the photos, frames, and Word-based tables show up. Some of the pasted-from-Excel tables also show up, not these ones.
    Is there a reason for this discrepency? Is there a way to resolve the issue? I used the search bar and found nothing that matched my issue. All of my software is up to date.
    Thank you for whatever help you can provide.
    J

    did you ever solve this issue? I have the same problem and "view large images" is the only answer I can find and it DOES NOT WORK.
    I posted the question elsewhere, but nobody has replied. here's my situation:
    When creating PDF documents from any software (Illustrator, Corel, InDesign, etc), color objects over 50% of the page size have white fill. If object has an outline, the outline will appear normally, but the fill will be white. I've searched forums everywhere and have found no answer. Most forum topics on this are issue focus on settings in the program that exported the PDF. I am 100% sure this is not an export problem, but is something in Acrobat itself (a missed setting? Corrupt program file?)  
    To provide the best information, I've done a little scientific research. Here is what I know:
    Currently running Acrobat Pro 9.5.5
    This is only happening on ONE install of Acrobat 9. Documents display correctly in Reader X and in Acrobat 9 on other machines.
    Started happening a few weeks ago, I have no idea what changed.
    "Show Large Images" in preferences dialog is checked. Unchecking it and rechecking it does nothing.
    Have installed all available updates to the software
    I experimented with different object sizes. At 50% of page size, objects appeared normal, at 51% filled object disappears.
    Does not affect photos, only affects vector objects.
    running this on Windows Vista 64 Bit

  • Adobe PDF Printer not showing -- no fix found yet

    The Adobe PDF printer is no longer showing on a system in the office. It's running Windows 7 Professional x64. The Adobe Acrobat version is Pro X.
    I have tried litereally everything I could find here in the forums and elsewhere, including uninstall, clean-up (using the Adobe tool), reinstall, maually printer install attempts (failed), manual removal of all printer ports relating to Adobe PDF documents etc. Nothing worked.
    Adobe Acrobat itself is working perfectly fine, but the PDF printer is not showing anywhere, or working. I had to install an alternative for now (PDF Creator), but obviously that's not an acceptable solution. The issue started, I believe, after some tax software package was installed that had its own PDF printer. The software has since been removed, and all troubleshooting has taken place after.
    System restore is also no option, since it doesn't go as far back.
    If anyone has any further suggestions, it would be very much appreciated. I am an IT professional, I'm comfortable with registry rediting or similar if that is what it takes, I'd just like to find a fix, and so far I've exhausted everything I could find (including Experts Exchange).

    Try this process.  If you get any errors then screenshot them and post them back to the forum.
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delete the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
    Copy and paste the following commands in order
    1: net stop spooler
    2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
    3: net start spooler
    4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
    That should set back the pdf printer.

  • Converting MS Publisher to Adobe PDF, Images Not Showing

    Hi, I have Professional Plus, version 11. I am trying to convert a newsletter created in MS Publisher to an Adobe PDF, but when I do this, the images do not show up. They may show on some pages but not others. I have already contacted MS support, but they say the issue is with Adobe. I have tried updating to the latest version but am still not having any luck. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix for it?

    Contemporary releases of Acrobat do not provide a PDFMaker for MS Publisher.
    If Acrobat is installed you can "file - print" using the installed Adobe PDF virtual printer which will provide a PDF.
    However, this PDF will have no "interactivity". Using the virtual printer is like printing to paper only the "imprint" lands on a PDF page rather than a paper page.
    The other way to get a PDF is to us the Microsoft process built into contemporary releases of MS Publisher.
    Of course this being a Microsoft process any questions or issues associated with its use must be taken up with Microsoft eh.
    That images do not pass through to PDF is almost *always* due to a configuration issue back in the MS application (Word, Publisher, etc.)
    Regardless, poke about in the user configuration settings for Publisher and in Acrobat (Edit - Preferences).
    Be well...
