PDF's from Scanner unavailable in Acrobat 7

I successfully downloaded and installed Free Adobe 7.1.0 Standard alongside my other registered Adobe products and all 'Make PDF' options are available except 'FRom Scanner'. My Canaon MG6150 id fully operational with my other PC apps in Windows 7. Any suggestions?

As far as I know there is not such thing as a Free AA7. If you got it free, there would be a big question of what kind of virus might be in it. In addition, AA7 is not compatible with Win7, particularly the 64-bit version. Folks with AA8 have had trouble even getting it to work on Win7. You might be able to get it to work with some workarounds.
As to your direct question, the scanner requires the proper twain driver to interface to the scanner. Try a graphics package and see if you can access the scanner.

  • Creating PDF Files from Microsoft Office | Learn Acrobat X | Adobe TV

    This video explains how to create PDF files from Microsoft Office products including Office 2010 in Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/w5Vsg9

    I have used Print to PDF from the File Menu in Office many times. Normally it works fine, but for whatever reason, in MS Excel 2010, I have one file that will not Print.
    It allows me to select the Adobe Printer and save location, and when I hit "Print" it shows a dialog box for about 1/2 a second, but no progress meter, and the file isn't created. All other files work fine except this one - there aren't any security measures or special attributes in the file, it just doesn't physically create the PDF.
    Any thoughts on how to resolve? I have tried rebooting both Excel as well as the Laptop several times.

  • How to generate PDF file from HTML file using Acrobat API's

    Hi,
    I want to generate a PDF file from an HTML file on server side(C# .Net).
    Their is a COM interop called "AcrobatWeb2PDF" availaible but could not find any document regarding how to use it.
    I cant use "Adobe live cycle PDF Generator" as we just have license for Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Please help...
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anand Mahadik.

    > It is hard to believe that Adobe doesn't provide a toolkit for generating PDF files, so many web based applications have vector based content that needs to be converted to PDF!!!!
    They do, it's just not free (A company in business to make money? I'm sure IBM would never think this way... ;)). As mentioned you have Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator, which you can customize and extend with Java. You also have the Adobe PDF Library SDK, which is written for use with C/C++ although if you license it from Datalogics (the only company in NA Adobe allows to license the PDF Library) you will also get .NET and Java interfaces (part of the DLE - DataLogics Extensions).
    > There must be a way to generate PDF dynamically on a server or from Javascript!
    JavaScript? Not really, no. As far as I'm aware JavaScript has no file system access capabilities without some form of intermediary (like sending the data to a webservice that writes it out to file). How would you create a PDF file with JavaScript?
    The PDF Standard is also in ISOs hands now (ISO 32000-1:2008), it is no longer owned by Adobe - you can download a copy of the specification from them and write your own library based on that as well.

  • Page length problem in PDFs generated from HTML pages in Acrobat

    I just spent an exhausting 2-1/2 hours on the phone with Adobe tech support (offshore) in order to get a 5 minute fix. I figured that I'd document it here in case another user has the same problem. (I'd checked the forums and a few e-mail lists and hadn't found a solution.)
    When generating PDFs from HTML (Web) pages, Acrobat squeezed all of the text into the middle of a single page (with just the last inch or so of text on page 2). This resulted in pages that Acrobat identified as being 30", 40", even 60" long, and the printed results were unusable. I haven't been able to identify an event or a system change that caused this to happen; Acrobat had been generating PDFs properly before this trouble started.
    THE FIX:
    1. Start Acrobat and run the Repair Installation option from the Help menu.
    2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0
    and rename the Preferences file to PreferencesOld. A PC restart will be
    required after this change.
    3. Restart Acrobat. This creates a fresh Preferences folder.
    4. Test creating PDFs from a single HTML page and from multiple pages.

    Thanks, Bernd, but where are these settings?  While I'm writing, is there a setting to make an html file fit on one page in Acrobat?

  • Open PDF files from Safari after deleting Acrobat Reader

    I can not open PDF files from Safari. I already threw to trash Acdobe Reader and internet plugs in, too. Can anybody help me

    I know you said you threw away the internet plug-ins, but you should double-check this since that is a very common cause of the behavior you describe.

  • PDF created from Office 2013 with Acrobat X doesn't have correct page size

    We have a process of quickly creating PDFs along with combining several Word files to PDF by utilizing the "right click" on a Word file(s) to save as a PDF within Windows.  Many times, our page size in Word is 5.5 X 8.5 and it does not save actual page size once PDF is created by using the "right click" and defaults to 8 1/2 X 11.  Is there a way to fix this or edit a setting?  It works fine from within Word if you "Save as" or "Export" but we need the right click to save as actual page size.  Please help. It worked fine in all previous versions of Word/Office.  Thanks!

    Hi pwhite2315,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    Try using 'Create PDF' option under Acrobat ribbon in your word file and check for the same.
    Also, please open 'Preferences' for Acrobat PDFMaker and check what 'Conversion Settings' have you selected.
    Let me know.
    Regards,

  • Cannot open pdf files from websites with Adobe Acrobat X

    Since purchasing and having my IT technician install Adobe Acrobat X, I can no longer open pdf documents that are hosted on websites.  We have many pdf documents on our business network and MS SharePoint sites.  Since the upgrade these will not open directly when selected in the MS Browser.  I can download the files to my computer and then open them.  I see the same issue with pdf documents hosted on "outside" websites.  I have set associations to pdf files to Adobe Acrobat 10  rather than the reader that is also installed on this machine but still have this same issue.
    The error message window that opens in the browser says, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
    I have tried with the Adobe application running and with it not running and there is no difference.
    Is there something I can check or have my IT technician check to try and get this issue resolved?
    I am runing Windows XP Professional with the latest service packs.
    I am using Internet Explorer 8
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for your mail.
    Here's the link to the KB article that gives the details of how to configure the SharePoint server for Acrobat X. These changes enable PDF files opened directly from the SharePoint browser to be recognized as SharePoint files by Acrobat and this can be verified by going to the File menu in Acrobat. The File menu will have a menu item SharePoint Server.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709.html  (The file on this link that you need to refer for the steps is "Enterprise Administration Guide" section "SharePoint Integration" )

  • "Creating Adobe PDF" slow (from Microsoft Word to Acrobat X)

    Since I installed Adobe Acrobat X, whenever I print to PDF, it takes me a really long time to create a PDF.  I have a simple 8 page Microsoft Word doc and several minutes later, it is still creating the PDF.  Any clues? Fixes?

    I had adobe updater running in the background.  When I turned that off, printing occurred instantly.

  • Create PDF from Scanner using Acrobat X Pro

    I am using trial Acrobat X Pro. When I attempt to Create PDF documents from Scanner using Epson Perfection 4490 Photo flat-bed scanner I get pop-up that states Epson cannot be started.  This also occurs when I Create PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan > Scanner when I select Epson Perfection 4490 scanner. My scanner is turned on when I attempt to create PDF from scanner. I have no problem scanning documents and then creating PDF documents from file, but I would like to eliminate this step.  Thanks in advance--any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This is a tricky problems as hundreds have had the same problem. Research on the net demonstrated that no one had the solution. Some have even thrown perfectly good scanners away. The problem is most likely  obtaining permission from Win 7 security. Don't bad mouth Adobe Acrobat or your scanner software. This solution will work and has been tested to work. You must be logged in as administrator. This will not help Mac User.
    1. Find the file acroscanbroker.exe
    2. Select properties
    3. Select security tab
    4. Select "users/*********
    5. Edit settings
    6. Full control  Check box
    7. Modify         Check box
    8. Read and Execute    Check box
    9. Read            Check box
    10. Write           Check box
    Your scanner should now work and any grayed out menus should come to life.

  • Invoking Acrobat PDF compare from Java code

    Need to invoke the Adobe Acrobat XI's PDF compare feature using Java code.
    Description:
    ========
    We are exploring the possibilities of passing 2 PDF's from Java to Adobe Acrobat XI SDK to get the compared results in new PDF.
    If anyone has explored with this feature... please share your thoughts.

    You would need to write a custom plugin to Acrobat that calls the compare APIs (as they are only accessible from C/C++).  Your plugin can then expose whatever from of IAC/IPC that it wishes to communicate with your Java code.
    Of course, this is all DESKTOP code since Acrobat can't be used on a server.

  • How can I change the file version for scanned PDFs to 1.4 when using the "PDF from Scanner" feature from Acrobat XI? By default it's always saved as 1.5.

    Because our IT system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we need to "PDF from scanner" feature to store the scanned PDFs in version 1.4.
    Acrobat 9 always saved it in 1.4, but starting with Acrobat X, the PDFs are saved in 1.5.
    There must be a setting or configuration somewhere where I can change this.
    I already tried modifying the distiller's standard joboptions, but that did not work.
    Thanks for any help

    We use in our software an open-source pdf library that only supports pdf versions up to 1.4. I know it is old, but it's not that simple to exchange it.
    But I just had a look into the Actions as you suggested. This way I get it to work. It costs one additional click, so that's acceptable.
    Thanks for the support.
