Creating a PDF from Scanner

I am running 9 standard, (Version 9.2.0) and scanning from a HP Scanjet 5590. I start the scan through the "Create PDF" command in adobe and verify my CONFIGURE PRESETS - to be set on Front page scan, in this case, Black and White. When I run the operation, it will ALWAYS scan front and back or "Both Sides". This happens on both of my boxes that have 9 loaded. No matter what I do, I can not get this to run correctly, (scan front only). I have changed defaults and than re-set configuration, etc. HELP...

I found the problem.
v9.9.0 Standard does not like TWAIN Drivers in the HP Scanjet 5590. It runs flawlessly on 5590 "WIA Drivers".
Thank you to all that tried to help.

Can't create PDF from Scanner

If I launch Acrobat 9 (all updates applied) of CS5, select "Create new PDF" -> "From Scanner", the HP OfficeJet 6500 scanner scans multiple pages (with page feeder) and then nothing happens. Nothing. The program window is empty: http://screencast.com/t/j5xNTy0MDpPn
It doesn't consume any CPU, it doesn't react on click (except Windows "ding"). Nada.
Single page PDF creation works, multi-page fails.
Any clue?

After going to Create new PDF > From Scanner, what do you choose? Scanning Presets (Color Document, Color Image, Grayscale document etc) or Custom Scan?
HP Officejet 6500 supports both TWAIN and WIA drivers. Which one are you using? To distinguish between WIA and TWAIN, look for "WIA" and "TWAIN" in the scanner name string in the "Scanner dropdown".
Please let me know your findings.

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.

"Create PDF from scanner" causes Adobe 8.1 to crash

Can anyone help us repair Acrobat 8? Or upgrade/reinstall Acrobat 9? We've got WinXP, running SP 3.
When we moved our PC to our new office, the create PDF from scanner function quit working, and now makes the entire program crash. We can still create PDFs other ways, but from scanner isn't working - the "Acrobat Scan" dialog box opens, but after about 5-10 seconds, the crash window comes up. Repairing, updating, uninstalling, and reinstalling the software all fail. Here are the errors for each attempt:
Repairing: "Preparing to install" dialog pops up but immediately disappears and no further action takes place.
Updating: It attempts to install update to 8.1.4, and the process begins, but after 5-10 seconds quits with error dialog "The installation process has encountered a problem. Please choose from the following options:" with 3 choices - run again, stop and start later, or cancel and quit. Selecting "run update again" just causes the error dialog to come up again. The other 2 quit the install entirely.
Uninstalling (via add/remove programs) and reinstalling (via downloading the software from the Order ID site again) both fail independent of each other with the same error: “The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.”
We do a lot of scanning to PDF's ... how can we fix this? There've been no other PC problems whatsoever, otherwise ...
My name is Scott Knowles, tech support guy for my sister's PC ... whose account this is.

The scanner is an all-in-one printer, in perfect working order otherwise. Good idea though - I tried scanning *outside* the Acrobat software ... that proved the scanner software *is* faulty ... I'll repair that. Thank you !

No luck yet. Anyone have the same issue?

This might be a scanner issue. Have you tried scanning using other applications?
If not, can you try the following steps once?
1. Download TWACKER (Twack_32.msi) from http://www.twain.org/downloads.shtm
2. Install it.
3. Go to <Program files>\TWAIN Working Group\Twacker 32 and invoke Twack_32.exe.
4. Go to File menu > Select Source.
5. Select the TWAIN driver (not the WIA driver) for HP M1212nf and Click OK.
6. Now, invoke File > Acquire menu.
Please update with the result.

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.

Trying to create a pdf from an HP G85 scanner and the G85 is not showing up as a device for Adobe

I have windows 7 (new) and adobe 8 professional. I was trying to scan from my HP G85 all in device and adobe was not recognizing any devices to scan from. Can someone please offer advice.

@kvolk6oldbarn –
The G85 works for me in Windows 7. I have Windows 7 Home Premium (new about a week ago) and Acrobat 8 Standard. I can see my G85 AIO from Windows (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers). If you’re still having trouble connecting to it, I suggest the Microsoft Compatibility page for the G85:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware& p=HP%20Officejet%20g85%20All-in-One%20Printer&v=HP&uid=C6737A&pf=9&pi=4&c=Printers%20%26%2 0Scanners&sc=Multifunction&os=64-bit
You might also check out the related discussion about connecting to the G85 at “See what others are saying about this product in the Windows 7 Answers Forums” where they also discuss access to some of the other functions (eg fax); that’s at:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/79d670dc-36b8-4303-9adf -909f839c4d90/
Once you’re connected, the settings I use to get reasonable scanning speed are Native and Show Scanner’s Native Interface. That’s in the Scanner Options dialog (get there from Create PDF > From Scanner > Scanner Options). The only interface I have available is WIA (in the scanner pull-down to the left of the Scanner Options button). The resulting scanning behavior is about 4 stutters as it scans a page – that is, the scan bar moves a few inches, backs up about 1/2 inch, then goes another few inches, etc. That’s about what I saw in XP, so it looks nearly the same to me.
Good luck.
P.S. if HP tech staff are watching: Acrobat has a lot of trouble driving the scanner if the settings are instead Native/Hide. The behavior then is the scan bar goes about an inch, backs up 7/8 inch, goes another inch, etc. That’s so painful to watch I’ve never let it continue to see if really would make it all the way down the page.

Creating pdf from scanner in 10.6.1

The one feature I loved in Acrobat was the ability to scan multiple pages directly into Acrobat as a single file by using the option "Create pdf from scanner." After upgrading to Snow Leopard, this feature still appears in the menu, but no scanners are found. I know of the issues with printers and file extensions, but I guess scanners are seen as another form of printer? I hate scanning to Preview then saving each page as a pdf, then opening in Acrobat to concatenate the files, rotate pages and make any necessary changes. Will the create pdf from scanner ever work again as it used to? Please . . . .

Your problem isn't clear
It is slow, so I understand that you can scan. Perhaps you can check the scanning resolution, if it is an heavy parameter, it is clear than the scan take longer.
When you scan from another application, is it slow ?
Scan Drivers are ok ?
Try VueScan Pro, it is a scanning application that support more than 1700 scanner. Does it work better ?
It can also replace your default driver.

How do I create a PDF from My scanner?

The only way Adobe X and XI allow PDF creation is online. IX allowed multiple options for creating a PDF including from the scanner. Why has it changed, and how do I create a PDF from the scanner? If It can't be done on the newer versions, how do I get version 9?
Thanks,
David

I think you may be mixing up Acrobat Professional/Acrobat Standard (which includes creation of PDFs in many ways, including scanning), with Adobe Reader (which does not include PDF creation at all, but can use Adobe's CreatePDF web service).
I think you used to use Acrobat Professional 9, and so what you need is Acrobat Pro XI.

Creating a pdf from a scanner

When I use Adobe 9, I can create a pdf from my scanner. The document use to come in exactly as scanned, such as a letter sized document. Now, everything I pull from my scanner is coming in as a legal sized paper. I do not know how to change that. Also, I can not find the option to create a pdf from my scanner in Adobe X. Can anyone help me. I getting complaints from clients. Thank you.

When creating a PDF from the scanner, it only scans one side despite the settings.

When creating a PDF from the scanner, it only scans one side. I am using a fi-7160 that supports scanning both sides at once. The Scanner software is configured to scan both sides, and so are the presets in Adobe Acrobat Pro. I've only gotten the setting to work with the Custom Scan setting. Has anyone else had this problem, and what is the solution?
Additionally, the software bundled with the scanner with automatically omit the back sides of a page if it is blank. I am scanning large files with occasional double sided pages. Is there a way to avoid having to manually delete blank pages when creating a new PDF from the scanner? It takes twice as long because I'm using the OCR stabilization.

Hi anne,
Could you please let me know what Acrobat and OS version are you using.
Does this happen in case of any particular PDF or all PDF files?
Try repairing Acrobat and then again check.
Hope to get your response.

Create PDF From Scanner - Items not tagged by default in Adobe X?

Our associates leverage Adobe Acrobat's Paper Capture API to create PDFs directly from TWAIN-sourced scanners. In Adobe Acrobat 9.x, the resulting PDFs were automatically tagged. In version 10.x they are not, and I don't see a way to enable tagging automatically when using the "File -> Create PDF from Scanner" option. Strangely, the option to tag the PDF is available when using "File -> Create PDF from Web Page."
Any ideas?

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.

Unwanted blank pages inserted when creating pdf from scanner

Hello, when creating a pdf from a document scanned via Adobe Acrobat X Pro, the program inserts an unwanted blank page in between each page being scanned. So, if scanning 50 pages, we get 100, etc. How do we remediate this problem? We have worked with the default settings, to no avail. We're using a Fujitsu fi-5530c2 scanner. We would appreciate any input to help resolve this issue! Thanks Mark
