Adobe Acrobat CS6 won't create documents from my scanner

I am using Windows Vista 64-bit based Adobe Acrobat software from my CS 6 Creative Suite.
I can view pdf documents using Acrobat CS6 Pro but I cannot seem to create a pdf from my scanner as I have in the past with older Acrobat versions.
The scanned document appears and then Acrobat shuts down without any reccommendations.
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? Is there a patch available?

You can follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the knowledge base document : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-scanner-issues-acrobat.html

  • 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 Writer won't create pdf from GenoPro webpage

    A teriffic genealogy program is GenoPro.  It prints to the web (or to the hard drive) as an actual html web page(s).  I can click on any name and go there, click on any name in the pedigree chart and go to that person.  I tried creating pdf and chose the entire site.  It would get only the main page.  So I figured I could click on each name and append.  It would not do that.  Just said general error.
    There is another genealogy program named Gramps.  It can also make a web page family tree, also on your hard drive.  I tried the same thing, created pdf using entire site.  This worked.  Every name has a clickable link, every pedigree I can click on any name and go to that name.
    I am trying to figure out why GenoPro won't.There is no reason why it should not work.  I am mystified.
    Jane Anderson

    I will have to change some of my problem.  Acrobat Writer does indeed use all of the names in the GenoPro webpage to pdf when I use create from web page.  The only problem rather than a page of ancestry I get the following code.  And it is the same for each person.  The only actually formatted properly page is the initial one with all the names.  Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Adobe Acrobat XI crashes when creating PDF from webpage.

    I need to create quite a few pdfs from webpages and all of a sudden, after being completely functional, my Acrobat has begun crashing nearly 100% of the time when trying to do so.  I'm defining crashing as either completely crashing ('...has stopped working...') or freezing indefinitely, forcing me to Force Quit.  It may be worth mentioning that I am using the Mac version.  Any ideas?

    The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.

    I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form.  I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online.  However, I think the form is an HTML web form.  All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on.  Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade?  Help

    You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
    I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

    dchasin,
    You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
    Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

    Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

    I just used the "Quick Menu" in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after wasting hours several days when the SSID and Network key/password were already activated and the Adobe software claimed no scanner was available. . These Adobe user manuals are next to useless. Now I'm still dealing with this problem: "Save As was unable to find tables in the document No file was created." (i.e., from the pdf file I created using NI). Well it's obvious there are tables in the pdf, but so far I haven't been able to get a result to determine the intrinsic accuracy of Adobe's pdf to Excel capability.

  • Workflow - create document from template

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me what could be the possible use of Create Document from Template step in workflow...

    Hi vijay,
    1)Open the PC application by choosing the entry Double-click to create in the Document templates tray by double-clicking or choose  in the step definition of the document generation.
    The PC application that you last used to create a template is opened in the Workflow Builder. The system fields and the container elements of the workflow container are offered for selection in the navigation area. They can be transferred into the template by double-clicking.
    You cannot use any multiline container elements in your template.
    All relationships created between container elements/system fields and the document template are displayed in the object area.
    It is not possible to insert system fields and container elements into all types of document template.
    2) If you want to create a document template of a different class, select  Change document class and choose the new type of document template.
    3) Select  to assign a name for the document template.
    4) Create the document template in the usual way in your PC application. You can use all the functions of the PC application.
    5) Insert container elements and/or system fields from the object area into your template by double-clicking. These fields are replaced with the content of the container elements/system fields at runtime.
    6) Select  to save your document template.
    Hope this helps u,
    Regards,

  • Adobe Acrobat wont capture Monotype Sorts fonts from PPT

    I created a file in PPT using the "Monotype Sorts" font for a bullet list.
    When I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a pdf of this powerpoint, the bullet list comes across incorrect.
    After discovering this, I went into Acrobat Preferences/Advanced/Fonts and selected to always embed Monotype Sorts, with no difference in the outcome.
    Please let me know how do capture this font type in a pdf!!!

    Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
    I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
    For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).
