Scanning directly from Acrobat XI Pro interface no longer working

OS 10.10.2
Acrobat XI Pro (latest version)
Cannon PIXMA MX300 scanner/printer (also using its latest drivers and software)
Up until recently, I was able to open Acrobat XI Pro and do a "create new document from scanner..." with no problem. Acrobat scanned in whatever I had on my platen and it was Acrobat's interface through which I controlled any scanning details I needed to change or manipulate. It no longer lets me do this. I'm sent all the way back to the scanner driver and I have to issue commands (including OK) through this driver interface in order to complete my scan making the whole workflow slow, clunky, and a big pain in the a.
Cannon says that there is no newer scanner driver and that in fact, no driver from them is needed now as apparently what is "driving" the scanner now has been built into Apple's OS 10.10.2. yet that old driver window is still apparently being utilized either by Apple or by Adobe when I attempt to scan.
Anyway, HOW DO I GET ACROBAT to behave like it used to - where I can scan from directly inside of Acrobat with just the various messages and whatnot of Acrobat to address?
Yes, I reinstalled the "printer" and have only one single instance of a printer or scanner appearing in the list of choices so... ????!!!
Help!

YEah - that was what I was thinking but was hoping maybe to find out I was wrong. Ugh. I will send feedback to Apple as seems just kind of unnecessarily "rude". I mean I could understand their insisting on handling the scanning action if I did not have Acrobat open but not if I have an application open I am already working in. It's just rude and causes the user more time and work.

  • HT3669 I can no longer scan directly from Adobe applications.  Will this ever be fixed?

    I used to be able to scan directly from my C6100 HP printer scanner, but with the upgrade to Lion it is no longer possible.  HP indicates you have to scan from preferences and select the scanner.
    I have scanned documente succesfully from a Brother wireless printer, but not from the HPs

    Why do folks feel this is an absolute necessity? Just scan the image to a folder, then open it in Photoshop. There's no need for it to open directly into PS.

  • Can't Print from Acrobat 9 Pro on windows 7 64bit....

    I have a windows 7 64-bit computer that can't print to any printer from Acrobat 9 Pro.  When you try to print I get the following error:
    "print driver host for 32 bit application has stopped working"
    Any thoughts, it's driving me crazy....

    I'm having the identical problem and the only way I can get it to work is by not trying to change the title suggested by Acrobat for the PDF.
    If I try printing from Firefox and pasting in a new PDF title, it crashes Firefox.

  • Adobe LiveCycle opens and closes automatically from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro because I wanted to use the LiveCycle form editor. When I try to open LiveCycle from Acrobat 9 Pro Forms menu tab, LiveCycle opens and then closes instantly.  I tried to open it several times but the same thing happened. Luckily I had an old form which was save as *.xpd which opened LiveCycle.
    Does anyone know what the issue is when trying to open LiveCycle from the Adobe 9 Pro Form tab? Thanks in advance.

    I can't answer as to why Designer is opening/closing in Acrobat, but you can open it by itself.
    The EXE file is located with the Acrobat install.   On my Win 7 its located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe

  • Shared Review from Acrobat 8 Pro

    Is it possible to initiate a shared review from Acrobat 8 Pro
    using Acrobat.com? I realize how easy it is from Acrobat 9, but I'm
    trying to help someone currently using 8, where the only options
    are internal server, WebDAV or iDisk.

    Thank you for your post. These forums are specific to the

  • What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.
    Tell us how you use Acrobat, and what you do with it, and we can suggest improvements that were made in Acrobat X and XI Pro.

  • Cant upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro extended

    Hello everyone,
    I purchased the upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, but get an error when I try to install.  The error says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.  Setup will now terminate.".  How is it that Acrobat pro is "more functional" then pro extended.  I bought the upgrade because I need the 3d capabilities of extended pro.  How do I work around this issue?

    Oops.  I just read that I need to uninstall acrobat 9 first.  I now have a new issue.  Acrobat extended installed fine, but now it is doing an upgrade check.  It is asking for the serial number for the acrobat 9 pro.  My old version was part of the Creative suite 4.  When I enter the serial number from the creative suite it comes back as an invalid number.  Why is this?

  • Why upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to X or XI

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat  10 or 11?

    You should ask this question in one of the Acrobat forums. The following is probably the most appropriate one: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs?view=discus sions
    It would be helpful to know the type of things you use Acrobat for. Some features have been enhanced significantly and some functionality you have with Acrobat 9 Extended has been removed.

  • PDF prints from Acrobat 8 Pro, but not from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I have a PDF that prints fine when I print from Acrobat 8 Pro, but when I open the same PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, only portions of each page actually print out.
    All systems running Windows XP Pro, SP3
    A8P 8.1.2
    A9P 9.1.1
    Any ideas?

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Can I upgrade from Acrobat 11 Pro to DC Pro?

    Can I upgrade from Acrobat 11 Pro to DC Pro?

    Hey marcp30425730,
    If you are using Creative Cloud or Acrobat XI subscription, then you will get a free upgrade to Acrobat DC.
    You can install and activate Acrobat DC subscription on your machine using the same Adobe ID credentials.
    On the other hand, if you own Acrobat XI Pro, then you cannot use the same serial key to activate Acrobat DC.
    You need to purchase a separate perpetual license for DC version, but you'll be qualified for a reduced price when purchasing the perpetual license.
    Hope this information helps you. Let me know if you have further queries.
    I would certainly help you out.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Should we upgrade from Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro?

    One of our team member who is in charge of creating the pdf form is leaving. Currently he is using Acrobat X Pro, and we are thinking to move forward with Acrobat XI Pro. Are there any features that avaialble in the Acrobat X Pro are no longer available in the Acrobat XI Pro? Are there any glaring things that we need to watch out before moving from Acrobat X Pro to Acrobat XI Pro?

    Acrobat 11 has a number of new features that will appeal to people who work with forms. You can now turn off the automatic reordering of the tab order when fields are moved/added/edited, and you can select multiple fields at once when changing the tab order. I think it's worth the upgrade price for these features alone.
    Note that LiveCycle Designer, which previously came with Acrobat Pro, is no longer included, and it is actually uninstalled from your system when you install Acrobat 11. You are supposed to be able to get a free update of Designer by submitting a form.
    There are also a number of new keyboard shortcuts when in form editing mode that are helpful, including:
    Form Editing keyboard accelerators

  • My Acrobat 9 Pro Serial isn't working.  How do i resolve?

    My Acrobat 9 Pro Serial isn't working.  How do i resolve?

    Hi mcarruthers25,
    Did you also download Acrobat 9 from the Licensing Website?  If you have a volume license for Acrobat 9 Professional, then the installation files are only available at https://licensing.adobe.com/.  If you downloaded the installation files for the retail version of Acrobat 9 Professional, that may be why the installer won't accept your serial number.
    Best,
    Sara
