Scanning issues from my Acrobat 8 Pro Program

My computer crashed and since I use Windows XP Pro and have any number of older programs that will not run on Windows 7 or above I purchased a new hard drive and reinstalled my Windows XP Pro. I was able to load my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on it and can use it to perform certain task such as printing information I reinstalled on it but I AM NOT ABLE TO SCAN to the same Printer I have had all along. I'm able to scan on said printer with the Microsoft Windows Office Word program but not Adobe for some reason so I know the scanner is working. I need to have the Adobe scanner working as I use it in sending information out to people that cannot open Word. Please help

Well, what scanner is it then? Did you reinstall all drivers and system updates in the same version as before? Sounds like simply the TWAIN part is not working and Windows only uses WIA. That's why it works in otehr programs but not Acrobat...

I have opened scanned pages in to acrobat X1 pro and cannot edit, it says its not editable text how do I scan it as an editable text

I have opened scanned pages in to acrobat X1 pro and cannot edit, it says its not editable text how do I scan it as an editable text

All scanners output one thing only -- an image, a picture of the stuff on the paper that was scanned.
There is not "text". There is a picture of text characters.
This image / picture can be brought into a PDF. What is in the PDF is still an image / picture of text.
Open the PDF with Acrobat. Use Acrobat's OCR feature.
If you desire to touchup some characters use the "ClearScan" OCR.
(Review Acrobat's Help to resolve any questions on this.)
Note that PDF is not a word processor file format and does not tolerate word processor like "editing".
Use Acrobat to do touchups to characters and short character strings. Save As often.
Be well...

Unable to Share a PDF from Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro for Shared Review-Permissions Issue

Hi,
I get the following message while trying to initiate shared review for a document.
Please help.
Regards,
Himani

No updates recently - except possibly whatever Microsoft updates automatically (security, etc.).
What is quite strange is this specific isolated instance:
If I am in a Word document, then highlight and select (Ctrl C) a range of text, then go to Acrobat 9 Pro and try to create a PDF from that clipboard text, I get the above error. However, if I select text from another program, such as a web page, then Acrobat does not complain when I try to create a PDF from the clipboard, and everything proceeds as expected.
So that makes one think that the issue is with Word; however, I sometimes (and "sometimes" is the operative word) get the error when taking text from Excel. But sometimes not.
Is it Microsoft? But that is strange, as all this worked a few days ago - specifically on Friday 9/3. I use this feature daily,
And, as I mentioned before, trying to create a PDF from an entire Word file also does not work (create from File).

Keeping redline text "red" when Scanning file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

The document is a word document that has several "red" color text and "red" color strikethrough words to show that a particular word is being edited/deleted. The problem/question I have is that the "red" color in the document, when scanned, does not come out "red?" The color is dark blue/black? However, if there are other colors in the word document, these colors come out OK? Not sure why "only" red strikethroughs or text "colored" red in same document does not come out in "red?" The following info is sent: I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro; the reader is Adobe Reader X; and the print/scanner is HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. Any answers/help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dear user,
You are getting such output because you have checked ON the setting 'Print to file' in one of your previous prints. For resolving this issue, kindly uncheck option 'Print to file' present in bottom left corner of print dialog and then click on 'Print' (See attached image for reference).
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks

Scanning with barcodes and Acrobat 9 Pro

We have an inhouse program that uses a barcode to send scanned papers (pdf) to a specific location on our network. There is a different barcode for everyone so that whatever they scan goes to their "queue".
Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 Pro
to generate a barcode and have it do as above eliminating this other program? If so, could you point me in the right direction please?
Thank you in advance.
Paul

Sounds like you may need to do a little testing.
Here is the Adobe help section for barcodes.

Issues Installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

Hi,
I have tried installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and having issues once the install is complete. A prompt comes up telling me that the serial number provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.
It asks to select a product from a list given but there is no Acrobat XI Pro listed and also asks for the Serial Number again.
Any idea what the issue is?
Thanks

Hi, I originally had a free trial installed and when it ran out I just purchased a new licence. I was sent a serial number for the new licence. I also have a free version of Adobe Reader XI installed as well.
I removed un-installed what was initially installed but still get the same message. Any suggestions?

Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Program Size

I am trying to free up space on the C Drive of my laptop. Looking at Control Panel/Programs and Features to see what unnecessary software I could uninstall and I noticed that Adobe Acrobat X Pro Version 10.1.11 was 6.63Gb in size. I checked with my two work colleagues who have the same version installed but their sizes were 2.7Gb and 3.2Gb. As the attached screenshot shows, nothing even comes close to this size, with the next largest program being iTunes at 220Mb.
I have two questions:
1. Why are the sizes different; and
2. Why is so much space required.

I don't know. I have a higher Acrobat version installed, and Programs & Features shows a size of 2.5 GB.
That Size information is often an estimate (or plain guess); see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/07/09/178342.aspx
If you want to know the real size that Acrobat occupies on your disk, right-click on the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0 folder and select Properties; the total size is displayed on the General tab.

Open from scanner Acrobat 9 pro fails

I am restricted to scanning with Preview because Acrobat 9 collapses every time I try to open from scanner and that causes my Mac to give me a black screen until I unplug the scanner (a simple Lide Canon 70) from the USB port. Any suggestions?

Preview uses a different scanner driver to Acrobat. Have you installed the [LiDE70 scanner driver v12.13.1|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900323301.html]?
If you do have the scanner driver installed then what settings do you have selected in the Acrobat Scan window? I just tried scanning from Acrobat 9.4.1 using Canon LiDE200 and worked okay for me.

Strange issue with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

I have a user who has a very strange issue. When she clicks the acrobat pro shortcut, adobe reader launches. The target path of the shortcut is correct and even when I drill down through C: and program files all the way to acrobat.exe, reader launches.
even running acrobat.exe from the runline launches reader instead of pro
any suggestions?

The other option is to go into the task list and disable AcroRd32.exe. One of the problems with both Reader and Acrobat being installed is that they leave a part resident for fast startup (I think this can be disabled). Thus Reader is likely sitting there partially open in the background and when you click on Acrobat, it sees Reader and opens there. You might check the startup list in MSCONFIG and see if you can disable AcroRd32, but once Reader is run it may leave it there again anyway.
It may be best to uninstall Reader, but you will likely have to repair AA8 Pro after the uninstall since the uninstall usually breaks the versions that are left.

Color management issue from Photoshop Acrobat

I'm having an issue that I believe has been isolated to Acrobat X related to Color Management, but was referred to this Photoshop forum because more experts in color management tend to read here. My thread in the Acrobat forum with several updates on tests is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4646650#4646650
The short version is that any RGB image I create in any app (including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, a non-Adobe app with Word, and Acrobat's own PDF from Screen Capture feature) displays in both Acrobat X and Adobe Reader with dull colors, very similar (if not identical) to how an RGB file with full intensity colors (i.e. R255 or G255) looks when converted to CMYK.
I've tried numerous settings in the Color Management system, and have Synchronized my Color Settings via Bridge across all Adobe CS6 apps. I've tried synchronizing to both the default North American General Purpose 2, and the (sometimes suggested) Monitor Color, using a calibrated profile for my Dell display from OS X's built-in tool. Have also tried various settings of Preserving Embedded Profiles, ignoring them, Assigning a new Color Profile to a document, turning off color management completely, etc. No change in result.
I have a multi-monitor setup (3 external Dell displays connected to a Macbook Pro, 2 of them via USB video devices), but I've also tried making each display (including the laptop's built-in display) my Primary monitor and can see the color shift on each one, so it doesn't appear to be a calibration issue.
This issue is on my Mac at the office. I have a similar setup at home (albeit a MacPro 1,1 vs. a laptop) but with the same Dell monitors and CS6 software installation, and I can take the same document (whether it's InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop), make a PDF of it, and it displays with 100% accurate colors when viewed in Acrobat X.
In addition to the tests mentioned in my original thread, I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Acrobat X and Adobe Reader.
I believe the issue is related to Acrobat, as I can repeat the issue with no other apps than Acrobat in the workflow: if I display a full-intensity RGB image on screen, then use Acrobat X to create a PDF from Screen Capture, the resulting PDF immediately shifts to the dull colors.
Have also thoroughly checked through Acrobat's preferences, as it seems almost as if there's a setting somewhere along the lines of "View all PDFs in CMYK color gamut", but no such setting exists. I did a complete uninstall of Acrobat X as well, which I imagine would also dump its Preferences, so it would be a clean reinstall.
Another interesting note: Apple's Preview app seems to display the PDF with accurate RGB colors, so I know the PDF actually has the correct color definitions intact. But the same PDF opened in Acrobat X or Reader side-by-side displays the dull colors.
Any thoughts?

i wasn't able to follow your lengthy post, and the color management chain is too complicated (for me) to address here other to say Acrobat reads tagged elements and converts their colors to Monitor RGB (so you must have stripped the profiles in the PDF, and the Acrobat CMS is applying or passing through the wrong profile)
further, if you don't want to rely on profiles, your safest bet (for screen viewing) is to CONVERT everything to sRGB (but i would still include the profile in case someone wants to display or print the document 'accurately'
Here is a look at a several critical color setting in Export to Acrobat that control: Downsampling, Compression, Color Conversions, Destination, and Tagging (click on image for blowup):
PS:
these panels were grabbed from an InDesign Export PDF process, but Photoshop should have similar options somewhere

Scanning issues from glass to feeder

I used to be able to scan a page on the glass, then insert the rest of my documents in the automatic feeder, and it would recognize them and start scanning from the feeder. It no longer works. Is there a fix for this?

Hi LPE!
Thanks for getting back to me. The issue very well could be the printer. I just wanted your OS to find you the direct link for a Firmware update.
Try updating the firmware to see if that makes a difference. Try your scan again afterwards.
You can update the firmware from the front panel if you have your printer on a wireless network:

If you are connected USB, download the firmware update here: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.
The previous version of Acrobat is showing 8 from CS3 Design Premium.
I did not get a chance to try another DVD drive or load onto another machine to test the disk. I will also have to note all of the errors from the reinstall failure.
I do see the original install folder created - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0

How to add/delete/rename scanning presets in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

I am setting up a new scanner in our company. We would like to scan with Adobe Acrobat (Document -> Scan to PDF). Now there are only 4 presets (like "Black & White Document", "Color Document" etc.). Of course we have our own scanning standards and often scan special formats like passports etc. So how can we add more, delete and change the names of current presets?
Obviously it has to work somehow as Adobe won't be expecting all their customers to work with the four standard presets. But how can I do it? I was looking everywhere for it but cannot find it.
Thanks for your help!
Simon

Hi Simon,
In the current version of Acrobat, there is no provision for creating, deleting or changing names of current presets.
However, you can configure the available presets to customize them according to your needs.
For customization of presets, you can execute the following steps:
1: Go to Document > Scan to PDF > Configure Presets.
2: Select the preset you want to configure from Presets dropdown.
3; Customize the settings as per your requirement.
4: Save the preset.
You can now use the saved preset to scan document with your preferred settings.
