How to get Adobe to recognize my scanner

I've upgraded to PSE 6 for the Mac. I still have PSE 4 on my machine also.
For some reason, PSE 6 does not recognize my scanner, but PSE 4 does.
I also have Acrobat Professional which I bought so that I could make pdf files from my scanner, and it doesn't recognize my scanner either.
How do I get both PSE 6 and Acrobat Professional to recognize my scanner?
Thanks,
Carole

I finally got PSE 6 to recognize my scanner and also Photoshop CS3, but I still can't get Acrobat 8 Professional to recognize it.  There is no Rosetta box for Acrobat.
Is there any way to get Acrobat to recognize the scanner?
Thanks for all your help!

  • How to get Adobe Acrobat to find scanner?

    Acrobat > "create PDF from scanner" used to bring up an Epson driver for my Perfection 1640 SU and all was well. For some reason the driver disappeared and now Acrobat finds no scanner at all. I downloaded a new 10.6 scanner from Epson but the scanner still doesn't show in Acrobat's dialog box.
    I tried preview but it scans to only 1-page documents, which I can then stitch together with Acrobat; however, a 5-page B&W document done this way is 25 megs, unacceptably large.
    How do I either get Acrobat to see the scanner, or, alternatively, get Preview to do some useful work? Thanks.

  • How to get PE6 to recognize Epson scanner again?

    Another forum told me the solution to having bogus empty folders appear in my Library Preferences folder daily was to trash the TWAIN for my Epson Perfection 1240U scanner. They said it wasn't needed anyway. Well, they were right about the solving the Epson bug. But they were wrong about it not being needed! The scanner no longer worked. I downloaded the correct driver and TWAIN again from Epson and reinstalled, twice. It never appears in Elements when I go to Import - where it used to - along with 2 PICT sources and Frame from Video. I can't seem to find where the installer put the driver and TWAIN or where that folder is in Elements with the four files in it.
    I can use the Epson Scan software separately but have to go thru many more steps now to find the scanned (numbered) image and then process it in Elements 6. How do I get it to appear at Imports in Elements 6 again as it used to before this debacle?  Not getting much help from Epson.

    Is anyone going to assist me on this?  I have now spent hours on the phone to both Epson and Adobe support with no results. Neither one seems able to tell me exactly WHERE Epson installs the TWAIN and where the Elements IMPORT folder is - so I can put all the software together and hope it works again! (My searches cannot find either.)  I have established that although Elements 6 will not recognize the Epson scanner in IMPORTS on either of my Macs it will recognize it in Elements 3, which I upgraded from a year ago. But after the upgrade to 6 it worked fine until I was foolishly instructed to trash the TWAIN. So it appears to be a bug between v. 3 and v.6 and perhaps the latest upgrade to Leopard.

  • How do I get PDFpen to recognize my scanner?

    How do I get PDFpen to recognize my scanner?  They say they work through Apple image capture,   SO.....

    Not terribly helpful, but this is from their website...
    Scanning & OCR
    I want to Import from Scanner. How can I get my scanner to appear under Devices?
    We use Apple's Image Capture framework for our scanning support, so your scanner should appear in the Image Capture application. If you do not see your scanner, you might try contacting Apple (AppleCare for your Mac) to see if they can help get your scanner working with Image Capture. Once that's sorted, it should also work with PDFpen.

  • How to get Adobe 8 to read entries from Adobe 6

    Some forms that my company uses was created in Adobe version 8. Some employees using adobe pro 6 ignored the message that states "The forms being used were created in a later version of adobe and you need to upgrade to a later version of adobe" and still went ahead and edited the forms with the adobe pro 6.
    Now that everyone is on adobe pro 8 the forms are all showing up blank.
    the information entered using adobe 6 to edit adobe 8 forms are all blank.
    Does anyone have any idea how can recover the information or how to get adobe version 8 to read the entries from version 6.
    Thanks
    Al

    Chances are they did not actually save the entries in AA6. When you open an AA8 document in AA6, you can not edit the document. That may be the issue, not that the made changes (not realizing they were not changed). This could have been avoided if the AA8 folks had saved the form in an AA6 compatible way (Reduce File Size or PDF Optimizer). However, some of the functionality might have been lost with the backward save.
    Assuming you still have AA6 on some machine, try to read them and see if the stuff is there that you are talking about. I doubt that the changes are there.

  • How to get Adobe programs running?

    I am running Adobe CC on a Windows 7 machine, 64bit. The machine has registry software (PC Mechanic) and McAfee antivirus. I have 8 gigs of RAM and a dual core CPU. When I run Adobe, I tend to also have a web browser like Opera running in the background. Windows is used exclusively for Adobe software. I have frequent issues with Adobe programs, like Dreamweaver or Photoshop not being able to launch. Or getting errors like "internal signature error". I have called Adobe technical support, who logged onto my computer several times, but their technicians are consistently stumped. Collegues suggested I simply uninstall and reinstall the software. That worked at first, now the programs will no longer launch---even if reinstalled.
    Adobe seems unable (or perhaps just unwilling to help). It is suggested that Adobe simply cannot work on the Windows operating system. Rather, the programs are made for MAC computers, not Windows.
    Does anyone have suggestions on how to get Adobe CC to run on Windows 7?

    Hi Ikhider,
    I am running Adobe CC products on a Windows 7 64-bit system too. I also use McAfee anti-virus software as well.
    For troubleshooting I would try first shutting down everything running in the background not required by right-clicking on the icons in the system tray and choosing quit or exit.
    When launching the Adobe apps try right clicking on the icons and choosing Run As Administrator and see if that makes any difference
    The Resolve product launch freezes or problems section of this document might help:

    John,
    You're wrong, please stop spreading mis-information.
    I have a brand new Galaxy Note 2, which came out after the iPhone 5, it's running the newest android OS 4.1.1 which also came out after the iPhone 5, and I just went to Adobe's website and downloaded Flash just fine.
    No tricks, nothing special, just clicked the download link, installed it, went to put locker and started wtaching "TED". Just like I do on my mac.
    Look I even took screen shots of the entire process...

  • How to get FCP to recognize an animation sequence, not individual clips ?

    Hello All;
    Could someone tell me how to get FCP to recognize a .png animation sequence (Exported from After-Effects) ? When I place the directory or files onto the timeline, I get a project 27 minutes long, rather than 10 seconds like it should be. I know this must be easy and I'm just missing something.
    Tim

    You exported a .png image sequence from After Effects?
    Three choices:
    1) In Final Cut Pro, click anywhere in the 27 minute long timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips. Once they are all selected Control Click on any one of the selected clips, and from the drop down menu choose Duration. Set the duration each clip is supposed to be ( 1 frame? 3 frames?) and click OK.
    2) In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences. When The User Preferences open, click on the Editing Tab. Set the Still/Freeze duration to the duration you want for each of the stills in your image sequence and click OK. You will then need to re-import the stills, and they will now each be the new duration. This does not work on the stills you have already imported- you need to import the stills again.
    3) Open Quicktime Pro (Quicktime Player 7) and go to the menu File > Open Image Sequence. . .
    Navigate to the first frame of your image sequence and click Open. You will be asked to pick your frame rate. Set that and click OK.
    When it opens, go to the menu File > Export and the Save Exported File As . . . window will open. Choose the codec you want for your animation (Pro Res, most likely) and, determine a location for the file and click Save. The image sequence will be exported as a Movie in the frame rate and codec you chose. Import that movie into FCP to edit or composite.

  • How to get mac to recognize thumb drive?

    how to get mac to recognize thumb drive?

    Launch the Disk Utility application. Does the thumb drive appear in the list of volumes on the left side? If not, try using a different USB port. If the issue still occurs then try restarting the system. If the thumb drive appears in Disk Utility check out how it is formatted. Do you have data on it that you need?  If it can be erased try formatting it with Disk Utility using the Mac OS Extended (journaled) format. If the thumb drive will be used in a Mac and PC environment then take a look at this article for additional information on choosing the right format.

  • Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

    Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

    For full details on cancelling a membership and subscription see the following page:
    Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
    Depending on where you are in your subscription cycle / membership and the type of membership
    If you have an individual membership, and opted for the annual membership (lower monthly fee). If you are cancelling in the middle of your membership, then you would be billed 50% of what's left of your membership for the remainder of the year, basically that would then in $$s become more like having taken out a month-by-month membership (higher monthly membership fee).
    If you are in the last month of your annual membership or your are on a month-by-month membership, you can log into your creative cloud account, cancel the plan yourself (no additional charges apply), by logging in with your Adobe ID and password, click your name in top left of screen and click on Manage Account.

  • How to get Adobe Digital Editions to recognize my Samsung Tablet?

    I download EPUB books from our state library to Adobe Digital Editions.  My Nook died.  I got a Samsung Tablet and downloaded the Nook app.  How do I get Adobe digital editions to recognize it my Samsung so I can copy books to it

    Tablets don't generally show up in ADE.
    You need to transfer files using a file manager instead to copy files to the tablet as a mounted drive.
    Copy the .epub or .pdf files, not the .acsm token files.
    (On Apple devices it is even more awkward, and you need to use iTunes, Dropbox or similar).
    I don't know if the Nook app will read all Adobe DRM books or not.
    Try the Bluefire app which I know supports Adobe DRM.  Or Aldiko.
    Also, the Overdrive app should let you download direct to the tablet and read library books; it's always felt a bit awkward for me though.

  • How to get PS to recognize my Epson scanner

    I have PS CS4 for Mac (running Snow Leopard), and am trying to figure out how to Import or scan something into PS.  With my Windows machine I used to use Epson TWAIN from the Import menu.  The only Import options I have on my Mac version are: Video Frames to Layers, Anti-aliased PICT..., and PICT resource..., none of which are what I need.
    I have updated Mac OS after attaching my scanner and it did download some Epson drivers, but still is not showing up in PS.  I have used VueScan sucessfully but don't want to have to pay for that if I have the ability to import through PS.

    Well I heard back from Epson.  Seems they don't make Snow Leopard drivers or application specifically for the Perfection 2450 but they said that the older drivers would work.  So I downloaded and installed them.  After I did I got an Epson scan icon in my Apps folder.  When I run it however it does nothing, no interface, nothing but the words Epson Scan on the top Mac menu bar and when I mouse over that to try to do something I just get the rainbow cursor.  I opened PS and still no other items avail in the Import menu.  So how do you go about enabling TWAIN or whatever for the Mac so that the option will show up in PS?  I'm a Mac newbie.
    I did have a need to scan something so I bought VueScan which worked and I was scanning in about 10 seconds after installing it, but I really want to figure out how to get it to work in PS
    Thanks,
    Steve
