Acrobat Pro on Mac OS X 10.6.2 doesn't recognize scanner

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 on my MacBook running OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). I can't scan from within Acrobat because it doesn't recognize my HP OfficeJet 4315 scanner. I can scan from the Apple Image Capture software just fine. I can edit documents just fine in Acrobat; I just can't scan from within Acrobat.
When I select "Create > PDF from Scanner" I get the following dialog box and no device is in the "Scanner:" dropdown list.
Please help! Thanks.

Well, I had no idea what I was doing with the whole SANE/Twain thing (although I did read about the SANE project) but I did go ahead and install the Snow Leopard components for SANE as you suggested. This did not help. Now in Acrobat a scanner named "SANE" shows up in the list, but when I select it and try to scan I get the following error message:
I did not see my HP scanner in the list of supported scanners on the SANE site, but thought I'd try anyway.
I have not yet tried the other suggestion you made.
Thanks for trying.
Sorry won't work unless you machine is listed, or type similar to yours is listed. in one of the components is installed in the system preferences go through that list and turn off all items except for your brand of scanner. And try again.
Also restart computer, and unplug and plug back in your scanners usb connection.
If that doesn't work. Then you have to go to Silverfast and see if they have a package for your Scanner. If so. You will have to pay for it. But is well worth it.
I never have understood which despite having Scanner in Acrobat praticaly since day one. They have never been good about scanner support in Mac anyway.

    If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
    If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
    Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

  • I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac.  I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home

    I just installed Acrobat Pro for Mac.  I would like to set it up to go into the regular program home page (just like the windows based) instead of the "getting started" window.

    Good day,
    Choose Acrobat > Preferences.  Click 'General'.  Uncheck the 'Show welcome screen' option under Application Startup.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you.

    I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you. My MacPro computer is slowly dying and I need to get going with Acrobat Pro 9.

    Unfortunately, Adobe has quit support of earlier version. They have a version of AA9 Pro for Windows posted, but not for the MAC as I understand it. You can try Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, but again I can only find PC versions. Someone may drop by with a link or you might see if anyone locally has the CD (that you could get the install file from). You will still need to use your original S/N.

  • Functionality of Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac questions?

    Greetings! After 35 years in the Windows environment, I became the proud owner of a MacBook air last night, and I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac on it. I would like to know if the features and functionality of the Mac version are the same as those on the Adobe Acrobat Standard that I have been using in my Windows environment for so many years.
    The Windows version gives me everything I need, most importantly the ability to add text as annotations into documents that have been scanned and sent to me as PDFs, fill in forms, create forms, etc.
    Additionally, can someone help me with the differences between the subscription version and the full purchase version? Does the subscription version have any problems, is it just as functional as the full purchase version?
    Thank you so much all!
    S.

    If you don't have a physical printer hooked up to your Mac you can still do the Save As Adobe PDF with a "faux" printer setup.  Here are the steps to set that up:
    1.  Go to Apple menu>System Preference>Printers and Scanners
    2.  Press the plus symbol button "+"
    3.  In the Add dialog select IP at the top
    4.  in the Address field put the numbers 127.0.0.1
    5.  In the Protocol pop-up menu make sure that Line Printer Daemon - LPD is selected
    6.  Leave the Queue field bland for the default printer
    7.  In the Name field it will say "127.0.0.1" and you can leave it to that or change it to anything you want.
    8.  Leave the Location field blank
    9.  Leave the Use field pop-up menu field at the default which is Generic PostScript Printer.
    10.  Click the Add button
    11.  You will get the message:
    "Unable to verify the printer on your network.
    Unable to connect to '127.0.0.1' due to an error.
    Would you still like to create the printer?"
    12.  Click the Continue button.
    13.  In the Setting up '127.0.0.1...' dialog click the OK button
    14.  Open up TextEdit
    15.  Type some test text (e.g.  Test Text)
    16. In TextEdit Go to File>Print
    17. In the Print dialog, press on the PDF button on the lower Left side of the window.
    18.  Select Save As Adobe PDF.
    19.  In the Save As Adobe PDF dialog, select your Adobe PDF Settings and whether or not you want the resulting PDF to open in Adobe Acrobat Pro and then click the Continue button.
    20. In the Save window, title your PDF in the Save As: field, navigate to the location you want to save the PDF and then click the Save button.
    21. Done.

  • Mac OS X 10.6.3 doesn't recognize my iPod touch 3.1.3

    Help please. My Mac OS X 10.6.3 doesn't recognize my iPod touch 3.1.3, I am using Xcode 3.2.3 now. My iTunes is 9.2.1(5). What will I do?

    Have you tried here:
    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Is there any reason your OSX is not updated to the latest 10.6.7 and iTunes to 10.2.X?  That may also help.

  • Acrobat Pro XI Mac 11.0.10 freezes every time I open a document

    Every time I open a document in Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.10, the app freezes with a spinning beach ball. Beach ball will go for 10 minutes plus before I can't stand it and force quit. I am using Macbook Pro 15 Retina with Mavericks (OSX 10.9.5). The same document opens without issues under Windows 7 Acrobat Pro XI. I have disabled enhanced security and upgraded form 11.0.7 without any change in behavior. I have also un-installed and re-installed Acrobat from a fresh download off the internet.
    I am getting ready to ask for my $$ back!!  This is ridiculous, Acrobat is completely unusable under Mac.

  • Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

    Hello,
    I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac.  recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
    1.  no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing).  no data seems to even reach the printer/print server.  no error.  the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
    2.  prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
    But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
    I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions.  Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
    I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
    the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out.  some are secure, some are not).  and these are from multiple sources.
    Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
    system:
    Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
    MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
    Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
    printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on  LAN

    I just found this solution on another board, I tried it  (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me.... 
    Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
    :: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
    :: Tags: Computers
    If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
    On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library”  folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
    I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X, Mac, and Scanning with HP Deskjet Issue!

    I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Lion and when I go to scan from PDF, my HP Deskjet 3052 A scanner isn't showing up in the drop down menu.  I also have Acrobat Pro X for Windows on my machine (VMWare) and it works fine, but it won't work with the Mac version.  I have called Adobe and HP and neither have been able to help me.  I bought this program with this feature in mind, and I am sick of having to toggle back to Windows to scan, as it eats up a lot of my processing power.  I have downloaded the SANE and TWAIN drivers (or so I thought I did) with no luck.  I have also un-installed and re-installed the printer and Adobe multiple times, with no luck!  Please help me!

    How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?
    Depending on your printer and the type of driver update, you might need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mountain Lion. 
    NOTE:Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.

  • Print to a PDF in Acrobat Pro XI Mac

    I have a specific workflow where I want to print the current view of a pdf file (typically a zoomed in view of a 30"x42" architectural sheet) to a pdf file (typically an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet). I've never had a problem with this workflow when using the windows version of acrobat pro, however with Acrobat Pro XI on the mac (10.8.5) I get this error:
    Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
    when I select either "Save as PDF" or "Save as Adobe PDF" in the printer dialog box. My current workaround is to physically print the current view and then scan it back in and save it as a PDF. Is there a better way? What am I missing?

    Generally works fine for me. However, it may be that the HTML is secure and that creates issues for Acrobat. You did not mention your version of Acrobat or OS. One suggesting in case you are seeing a bug on your system is to be sure you have updated Acrobat (should be able to do that from the help menu).
