Scan other side is gone! in Acrobat pro 9.0

After replacing a Canon MX-860 with Brother MFC-5860CN the "scan other side" feature has disappeared !
I start by going to "Create" --> PDF from Scanner --> Custom Scan --> I choose "Both sides" under Sides and "Prompt for scanning more pages".The problem is scan other side is not showing up when it's done scanning the pages in the pdf, all I'm getting is "scan is complete" and "scan more pages".
I'm using the ADF and scanning 10 pages at a time.

I have a trick for you.  I could get Epson to like my idea and even said it would be easy to implemet, but it went to the circular file, I guess.  I wanted a Suffix,  thatcould be appened to file names. Not just abcdef###S.pdf.  I would have like a varible suffix from zero to n characters as well.
It's not tried an true on Acrobat X cause my ADF is broken and Epson scan has some issues with mixed orientations.  Ok, that out of the way.
You can scan the pages with the counter mode and then use a free program called rename master and add a suffix to all of the files like doc0001A.pdf or something and then move it into another directory.
Now scan the back page in a blank directory and then add doc001B.pdf to all of the pages.  Check the index to see if they both go to 99 or whatever.    When you combine them you will see doc001A.pdf after doc001B.pdf etc.
If there happens to be a feed mistake, you can use Acrobat's rearangeing technique with the bad page or you can use renamemaster and increment the filenames.
Acrobat X will pick them up in alphabetical and can combine into a single document.
You can re-arrange the order in Acrobat, but it's a NIGHTMARE for large documents.  You can operate directly on a single directory
I haven't done any two-sided copying at home using this method since my ADF broke and Staples is a mile away.  i.e copy with the scanner and then print duplex on the laser printer.
Anyway it works.  Only troubes is with the scanner.  Mix 8.5 x 11 in portrait and landscape together and you get a real mess with paper size and orientation.  No interest in fixing it, but I got a work-around.

  • Scan multi-page less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8

    Scanning a multi-page document is less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8.
    In prior versions when a page had been scanned a dialog box was presented in which the user could simply press Return or Enter to scan another page, or Escape if there were no more pages to scan.
    However, in ver. 8, the new dialog box defaults to "no more pages to scan" and if you nee to scan additional pages you have to reach for the mouse and click an alternate radio button, then click another button to scan the additional page(s). Quite a bit more movement required than before.
    I realize this is a relatively minor issue, but it's annoying when scanning multi-page documents.

  • I get prompted to select a scanner and a scan profile/preset each time I try to scan a document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    Hello,
    I have a fujitsu scanner (fi-6140) connected to my computer and have the "Scan" button on the scanner associated with Adobe Acrobat.  And so when I press the "Scan" button on the scanner to scan a document, it launches Adobe Acrobat Pro automatically.   Then I get prompted to select a scanner/device and a scan profile.  It seems to remember the last-used scanner/device, however; it still prompts me each time to confirm the scanner/device selected and select a scan profile to use.  Is there a way to save both the scanner & scan profile information and so when I click the "Scan" button, it doesn't prompt me to select but starts scanning using the last-used settings automatically?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Are you facing the issue with any pdf file?
    Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.7 and check.

  • Help Needed:  Acrobat Pro XI - Reduced Sized PDF vs. Optimized PDF

    Hopefully some of you folks can help me, as I cannot get in touch with Adobe customer service.  I recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro XI.  In my old version of Acrobat Pro, I used to be able to take a PDF file of large size (let's say 10 MB) and shrink it down considerably with relative ease (down to less than 1 MB).  The file could then be easily emailed, shared, read, and most importantly wouldn't take up tons of hard drive space.  With this new version of Acrobat Pro XI, that same 10 MB file barely reduces down to 7 or 8 MB.  I have played with the various settings in both the File -> Save As Other -> Reduced Sized PDF and File -> Save As Other -> Optimized PDF.  Regardless of what I try, I cannot achieve anywhere near the same compression results as what I used to be able to achieve with my old version of Pro.  I can get the file size reduced, but the reduced file quality is trash.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem as well?  Do any of you have any suggestions on what to do to fix??  I primarily scan a document as a PDF file with my HP OfficeJet Pro, and then reduce the PDF file size after the scan.  I could scan the document with lower DPI to begin with (currently scan 300 dpi typically grayscale), but then I don't have the scanned image quality that I need to reduce the file down so that it can be reprinted later at a good enough quality. 

    I had previously ran the audit, and 99% + of my bloat is in the image.  All of the other possibilities for bloat do not even add up to 1%.  For my purposes as a Financial Advisor, I print out blank applications & account forms, fill out the paperwork by hand, and then scan copies of the completed paperwork back into my computer for electronic filing.  Some of these completed client documents can be 50 to 75 pages long ... so the PDF scanned at 300 dpi obviously starts out as a substantially sized document that can take up 25, 35, or 45 MB per scan.  The crazy thing is that the old version of Acrobat Pro (I believe it was version 7 or 8) would take a 45 MB file and compress it down almost to 1/10th of the oiginal size.  As a result, a 45 MB file would end up as a 4.5 MB file.  This significant reduction was always accomplished using the one button selection "Reduce PDF" command ... had nothing to do with optimizing the PDF with the old version.  Once I ended up with the 4.5 MB file, I could open that file at a later date and print out a page that I needed and you couldn't hardly tell if it was the original or a scanned copy.  There was no loss of quality whatsoever!!  The Reduce PDF size in Acrobat XI just doesn't work well ... will take that 45 MB file and reduce it down to 42 MB which defeats the whole purpose of the Reduce PDF command in the first place.  If I play around with the inputs in the Optimze PDF, I can shrink the file size lower but lose way too much image quality.  The only variable that has changed from my old scanning results vs. my new scanning results is the upgrade from Acrobat Pro 7 to Acrobat Pro XI ... everything else that I'm doing is the exact same.  Same thing applies when I create a PDF portfolio from multiple PDF documents ... a 150 MB PDF Portfolio will barely reduce in file size. 

  • Creating PDF from scanner with Acrobat Pro 10

    Hello, I'm trying to scan a document into pdf using acrobat pro 10. Whatever selection I make I always get the dialog message "scanning cancelled"! Does anybody have a clue what is going on here.
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits.
    I also have multiple scanning devices available but it makes no difference which one I select.

    Use the software that came with the scanner, save as TIF, then use Acrobat to convert the TIF to PDF

  • Editing text in Acrobat Pro doc using Reader

    I've created documents in Acrobat 8 Pro for a client who needs to be able to add a few lines of text in Reader, then re-save and email the PDFs. Each time they try, though, they get the message telling them that they can't save the PDF and should print it out and fill it in.
    Is there any way round this, other than my client buying Acrobat Pro?

    I'm not talking about "major" edits either. If you have the original document, you always want to edit it first. It's just silliness to do anything else. Editing the PDF is asking for problems in many different forms.
    That's the ideal but what if you do not have an original. Suppose the pdf was sent to you to correct.
    I've been there.  Also if a PDF is not been setup for Reader User Rights, by an individual, if you have a Pdf that has small defect, there is a tendency to to use touch up text.  I've done that myself.
    But if I find more than one or two items , I do as you. I just go back to riginal if I have it, and create a new one.
    The above was to caution that if you hvae minor defects , you've either got to create a new version or create a copy with usage rights disabled, then work on that. You methos is the best.

  • Dynamic Stamps Not Working in Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hi everyone, the dynamic stamps on Adobe Simultaneous Review are no longer working for us. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (it works for me) but it's not working for many other people (they have Adobe Acrobat Pro X). Does anyone know how we can fix this. I think the problem started occurring a few months ago.
    Many Thanks!
    Joy

    You can shutting down Acrobat and then try moving (DO NOT DELETE - you may want put them back afterward if this doesn't work) the Collab and Sync folder out of the User's Acrobat folder and then rejoin the Shared Review to see if the Dynamic Stamps reappear.

  • Mac Pages will not open in CS4 Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Is this standard? OR can you only open other Adobe/pdf files in Acrobat Pro?

    Acrobat Pro cannot open pages files. You need to create a pdf file from
    Pages as you do with any other program from the print dialog box or in
    the case of Pages you can use the export function (but this doesn't use
    Acrobat to create pdf files).

  • Acrobat Pro XI is not recognizing Word 2013 files when I try to combine files in a single PDF. Please help.

    I recently upgraded to Office 2013. Everything seems to be working fine with Acrobat Pro XI, except when I try to combine Word 2013 files into a single PDF, I get this message: "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. . . ." Please help. Thanks.

    I've opened both Word and Excel. The Acrobat ribbon is showing in both programs and I did some test things and they seem to be working fine. However,  I still cannot see or use formats other than pdf in the Acrobat Pro program. Is there another setting that needs to be adjusted?

  • Acrobat Pro XI scans both sides (blank backs of pages) when pre-configured to scan front side only

    Acrobat Pro XI scans both sides (blank backs of pages) when pre-configured to scan front side only; using Brother MFC 9840CDW and Windows 8 (was not a problem with previous Acrobat version).  Help, please?

    Update:  No solution has been discovered; and, I did check the Brother settings (since it allows two-sided printing) - nothing awry there.  Acrobat behaves normally when scanning from the flatbed (as opposed to the doc feeder).  Using Acrobat to delete every other page (blank ones) after scanning is not a viable option.  Please, any thoughts on this issue?

  • Acrobat Pro 10.1 pushes CPU to 100% during scanning.

    Hello all,
    I am deciding if I want to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X.  I have installed the trial version on a test system.  It is Windows 7 Ultimate with 4 GB Ram, 1 CPU.  I let the software update to 10.1 before doing anything.
    System sits between 0 and 12 % Utilization if I do nothing other than work with task manager while Acrobat Pro X is launched.
    I do a scan and it jumps with Acrobat taking over 80% as soon as the scanning starts.
    This is nothing like the behavior of 9 on XP.  I know, different animal.  However, regardless, if the behavior is going to continue to bring my system to a halt like this, I am going to have to evaluate a different package.  With XP ending and Windows 7 being more 'standard', I need to move OS for other reasons.  I don't use over half the 'features'.  I only have pro because that was my original license and I have been updating since 6.
    I know there are other products that should be decent, but am wondering if I should spend the time.  Any thoughts before I do so?
    I appreciate any input you could provide.
    Jim

    I did the final comparison last night.  I reloaded the image which never had the Adobe Acrobat installed.  (Since uninstall is never clean and complete)  I put Acrobat 9 pro on.  This is what I already have license for. 
    It spiked and dropped until rendering.  Still not as good as on XP, but much better behavior than 10.1.  10.1 renders between front and back wasting time.  I have to sit and watch for rendering to finish so that I can turn the pages over or add new pages.  9 renders at the end of scanning.  The way 9 works, is preferred as I can work while the scanner is going, then walk away until rendering is done.
    Unless anyone has any other ideas, I will stay with 9 for now.  Anything else to try?
    Jim

    Does anybody have any ideas? Is anybody using the Epson Perfection v30 scanner?

    Any ideas?   there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13.   Perhaps if I uninstall it?   I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall?  I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

  • Can't scan Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 crashes when on Windows 8 PC

    I have Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a Windows 8 PC.
    When I try to use scan features, acrobat crashes.
    I select custom scan it crashes.
    I select configure presets it crashes.
    Because Pro crahses I am unable to choose what scanner to use for scanning. No idea what scanner Pro is attempting to use.
    I have the most current versions of both programs. Acrobat Pro 9.5 worked fine on Windows 7 PC.

    Acrobat 9 was coded to support Windows 8. As the Acrobat 9 product family passed into "end-of-support" earlier this year that lack of compatibility for Windows 8 isn't going to change.
    Be well...

  • 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.
