Scanning to PDF in Acrobat 8 issue .....

Whenever I scan a document using Acrobat 8 Standard, it pops up a small screen with a status bar and a cancel button. This screen gets the focus on every single page. If I happen to be typing something else, it can and will cancel the job. One a short job, this is not big deal, but on a long one it ties up my workstation for far too long.
Anyway, is there a way to turn this off? If not, does the newer version of Acrobat do the same thing or can it scan silently? I called Adobe sales and the rep didn't know the answer. I don't mind upgrading if this "feature" isn't present.
Thanks so much for the time and assistance.

I am having the same problem. I just upgraded to Acrobat X Pro (through Design Suite CS5), and now I am getting the following error when I try to print a webpage to PDF:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I tried the fix above - downloading the profile .zip file and installing the US Web Coated SWOP profile, and I am still getting the error.

Acrobat XI Pro, Surface Pro 128, Scan to PDF not working

I just installed the trial version of Acrobat XI onto my Surface Pro and everything works except the Scan to PDF, when I hit any of the presets I get an error message that says: Box Title: Twain Data Source Text In box: " Program was unable to load necessary component and its going to terminate. Please re-install your software." with an "OK" button.
When I hit "OK" button get error box title: "Adobe Acrobat", Text in Box: "An unrecoverable error has occurred. Operation stopped.", with an "OK" button
Hit "Ok" Button and goes back to adobe startup screen.
This happens with Auto detect Color Mode, Black & White Document, Grayscale Document, Color Document, Color Image.
When I hit custom Scan, I get:
Box Title: Twain Data Source Text In box: " Program was unable to load necessary component and its going to terminate. Please re-install your software." with an "OK" button.
When I hit "OK" button get error box title: "Adobe Acrobat", Text in Box: "An unrecoverable error has occurred. Operation stopped.", with an "OK" button
When I hit "OK" i get a Custom Scan Box with the scanner,
when I hit Scan: I get Box Title: Twain Data Source Text In box: " Program was unable to load necessary component and its going to terminate. Please re-install your software." with an "OK" button.
Then the Native Scanner interface pops up and it scans the document and brings it up in Acrobat XI.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix, I would like to buy the license, but will not until I make sure it will work properly. The Scanner works fine with other applications. I have two different scanners installed and it does this with both.

I have the same problem only with Acrobat 9.5.5 (Windows 8 Pro 64 bit)
This error message appeared after I had a re-install. Twain is installed with "Neat" scanner and software. (Neat works.)
Have you been able to repair this problem?

Issues with creating PDF's (Acrobat 8.1.6. and 9.1.3) in Windows Server 2003 (32 bit) and Windows XP (64bit)

We have a report package that generates customised reports
We generate the PDF's by simply "printing" to the Adobe PDF printer
In Windows XP Pro (32 Bit) the report creates the PDF perfectly
In Windows Server 2003 (32 Bit) or Windows Xp Pro (64 Bit) the PDF is created 90% perfect but some of text has slipped on the page.
Whilst we are looking into the report writer (Dev Express) I would like to rule out any Acrobat issues.
With thanks
Mark

I think it will work fine if you use the "Enterprise" authentication option. It may have dependencies on 32 bit components. So, that's why we must run IIS in 32 bit mode even though it's on a 64 bit OS. That means CR supports 64 bit OS systems only if you bring down other components that CR uses to 32 bit levels. I'm not sure if that is considered "full support".
We are trying to use the LDAP authentication option, but that tab is disabled. Other tabs such as Active Directory and WinNT are disabled as well. There maybe another component that we must bring down to 32 bit processing.
Is there a way to enable the LDAP authentication configuration tab?
thanks

Adobe Acrobat Pro X Crashes when Trying to Scan to PDF - Epson Perfection v30 on Windows 7

I am running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 10.0.0
I have a Epson Perfection v30 Scanner installed. I open Acrobat, and when I select Scan to PDF, pick the v30 Scanner, and start the scan, it does actually start and complete the scanning process. However, at the moment where it displays the results of the scan, Acrobat crashes with the following Signature:

We have 8 machines with Acrobat and this Printer, and I am able to repeat this with each system.
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

Scan to pdf not available in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard installed on a PC with Windows XP Pro. The scan to PDF feature is not available anywhere in the program but should be as far as I am informed. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks.

Do you have a scanner attached? Does it work in standard graphics packages? Is it set up with a Twain interface? Then again, I have Pro and it may be a feature that is not in AA7 Std -- can't answer that one, but the following link gives a hint that you may need Pro: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acro7_matrix.pdf

Acrobat 7.0 Standard Random Hangs on scan-to-pdf

Scan to pdf will randomly hang about 3/4 of the way through a multi-page document scan with no error or warning messages.
Acrobat totally hangs (can't even move the window) and I have to kill the process in the task manager at which time a message appears saying "the process is waiting for input from you". There are no dialogs for input displayed.
System: WinXP, scanner is Dell 964 all in one, Acrobat 7.1.0.
I routinely scan multiple pages in the dell utility without problems.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this or provide a method for debugging?
Thanks.

If you can use AA7 on Win 7, you may be successful. However, you will have to print to the Adobe PDF print. If you were using an earlier version of WORD (2003), then PDF Maker may work. In any case, AcroTray will likely not work. That means you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected. Then open that file in Distiller to complete the process. A bit combersome, but may work. I have done it with AA5 and Win 7 starter -- a bit of a pain and an upgrade is really appropriate. If you have a 64 bit system, you may be totally out of luck.
So, you may be successful in getting AA7 to work in some sense. Do not expect perfection of no errors. Good luck.

Scanning to PDF problem on Acrobat Prof 8

Hi
I have a problem when I try to scan to PDF at the point when I try to set a location on the network drive or if the location is already set, it says:
'An error occured while reconnecting....'
Microsoft Windows Network:The local device name is already in use
The connection has not been restored.
You can press OK a few times to these messages and eventually it scans and I have no problems when I access those folders through Windows Explorer.
Any ideas?
Windows 2000, Acrobat 8 Prof.

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is it coming from the scanner? We have to watch two things when scanning on our Canon 5020s.
#1 Make sure the sidebars are as tight as possible, including making sure the stack of paper is very clean and straight and tight.
#2 There is a setting in our scanner called Margin. It corrects for things like manufacture defect. If we leave that setting alone, we get a small black edge. We have it set to -2 to decrease the scanning area. This fixes that problem.

Scan to PDF files too large! - Why?? Solution for Windows - How about Mac? (HP-8630)

Scanning a document to a PDF file of reasonable size has been addressed many times - it is always an issue! My wife is a realtor and frequently needs to scan multiple page documents. I found an actual solution last night:
27 page letter-size B&W document - Scan to PDF on my HP-8630 AIO using HP software at 300dpi, small file size, BW: 27MB! Too big to email.
Solution (in Windows 7 at least), if you have Adobe Acrobat:
Open Adobe Acrobat, go to File Menu - Create - PDF from Scanner - Configure Presets. Select and configure "Black and White Document":
Select TWAIN device (NOT WIA) as the scanner; black and white, 300dpi, file size one notch to left (smaller) from center, check "optimize after scan". Select paper size and one- or two-sided scanning. Uncheck "make searchable". Save the preset. (The TWAIN driver was apparently installed with the HP installer, since I did not have to look for it.)
After placing pages in the Doc Feeder, go to File Menu, Create - PDF from Scanner - Black and White Document. Watch the magic!
File size 768k! Quality indistinguishable from the 27MB version, sharp and clear, all 27 pages! Really!
Using the HP software, using a lower resolution or sliding the file size slider to smaller makes a muddy scan, and the file is still huge compared to the Acrobat technique. MUCH worse quality than the Acrobat 768k version.
Interestingly, using Acrobat to open the 27MB scan and "PRINT" it to the PDF Printer reduced the size to 10MB, with no change in appearance. "Save as smaller PDF" did not reduce the size further.
What gives, HP?? What can Acrobat do to scan from your AIO that you can't do?
I tried on my Mac as well - we use both. No go. On Mac OSX 10.10.1 with latest HP drivers, Acrobat does not see any TWAIN or other driver from within the dialog box described above. Scanning from HP software again yields about 1MB per page.
Anyone know how to make Acrobat see the scanner on Mac?

Hi @JosephWit ,
I see by your post that you are having issues with the PDF scanning size being too big. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
The drivers for 10.10 are installed by the Apple Updates. Did you install the 10.9 drivers or are did up run the Apple Updates to install the printer?
Uninstall the 10.9 printer software and run the Apple Updates to install the proper drivers. Then you can scan with the Apple Software.
Connect the printer to the Mac by a USB cable and run the Apple Updates to install the printer drivers.
Go to the Apple, About this Mac, click on the Overview tab and select Software Updates.
Go to the Apple, Printers and Scanners, delete the USB drivers and disconnect the USB cable.
Then add the wireless printer as a Bonjour printer if the printer is networked.
Click on the + sign, highlight the printer, below beside Use: make sure just the printer name is listed. (you might have to click on the drop down to select your printer from the list)
Here is a document for Scanning in OS X v10.10 Yosemite Without HP Software.
If you are having issues with Adobe, run the updates. Product updates.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Adobe 9 Black on White Document Scans to PDF Invert Black to White and vice versa! Not Good!

I have the same problem as TexasLawyer (Jul 30 2009) whose question was not answered nor was there any answer to a commenter who said he has the same problem ("I have an old HP LaserJet 3330 multifunction printer, and prefer scanning documents out of Adobe Acrobat rather than the software that came with the scanner. However, after upgrading to Acrobat 9 Professional, the scans result in negative images. I tried using the option in Acrobat to create negative images, hoping that that would result in a positive, but it didn't work. I'm using Windows XP, also.")
Me too. Except I am running XP as a virtual machine in a MAC (Snow Leopard). I "upgraded" to Acrobat 9 from a functioning Acrobat 6 (worked fine with my setup to make correct B&W pdf's from scanned B&W documents on the HP 3330 before I installed Adobe 9--I got updates immediately and am at version 9.1.3) butthe Acrobat 9.1.3 scans on the HP 3300 invert white to black and black to white. The printer option box to invert black and white images was unchecked. I checked it and ran the scan again but same result--white of paper document is black in pdf and black is white in pdf. I can scan the B on W document using grayscale and get B on W but the file is too large and unacceptable due to smudges picked up with gray scale.
Can't understand how so basic a use of Adobe is this messed up.This has to be a common problem since many many users scan black on white documents to pdf. Does anyone have a solution to this? It is critical in my profession.
Thanks in advance to you problem solvers out there that can solve this for me and hte others in my boat who search these forums looking for the answer to this issue.

I have an HP6010 scanner (sheet feed) that is used to scan multiple page documents. If I use the WIA scanner option I cannot select page size and the scanner defaults to legal size. On the other hand if I use the Twain driver I get negative images on my scans. I just installed Acrobat X Pro and the same thing is happening. I was using Acrobat 9. In fact in duplex mode the scanner outputs a negative image every other page, and a standard image on the alternate pages. Either way I am frustrated. I can't remember when the problem began, but I believe I was running XP SP2 and Acrobat 7 or 8.
Ironically, if I push the scan to PDF button on the scanner, which uses an HP utility, it comes out fine. All pages are in positive mode.
I did try scanning in color even though the document is black and white. I believe that the scan was fine. No negative images, but scanning in color is like watching the sun go down.
I thought it was Vista and System 7, then I was told that it had to be a scanner issue and that I needed to talk to HP. However, if the scanner functions properly on its own, with the HP utilities, then it has to be Acrobat.

Avoid "save scanned file as" during scan to pdf?

i want to scan to pdf but don't want to have to save it if i am just printing to fax.
thanks,
scott

I have the same issue. We just upgraded a lot of our users from Adobe Acrobat Std 7 to Adobe Acrobat Std 8. With ver 7, when doing a 'Create a PDF From Scanner', the document gets scanned first then the 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box comes up. Now, the dialog box comes up even before the document gets scanned. If you hit the CANCEL button, it would not let you do anything. This is causing a lot of problems for our users because our Adobe Acrobat is integrated with a Document Management software we do not need this additional step. Is there a way to turn off this feature?

Is there any way to "Print to PDF" from Acrobat?

In Windows, you can open a PDF in Acrobat and print it to a PDF. This isn't behavior isn't available in the Mac version—trying to use "Save as PDF" and "Save as Adobe PDF" both produce the following error message:
Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
Is there any way to print to a PDF from Acrobat Pro X on a Mac (running Snow Leopard)?
Note: There's a utility to being able to print from a PDF to PDF (which I why I suspect it's available in the Windows version), so "You're doing it wrong—just Click File > Save" would not be a very helpful response. I'm sure there are other uses for the functionality, but in my case in particular I need to split each page of a scanned PDF in which each page contains two pages of the original document. Printing to a PDF provides an easy way to do this, but I'm open to a more appropriate solution if it's available.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Adobe removed the ability to "refry" (make a PDF from a PDF) several versions ago.
what you need is to go to document and choose Remove (delete) pages (if it’s a duplicate Page)
You can also extract pages, add pages and so on. See this:

Hi Kswron,
Have you tried to upgrade IE to 10. I would suggest to install latest updates to IE and upgrade to 10 and check the issue again.

Random IE7 freeze when opening a PDF from Acrobat 9.1 Pro

We are having problems specifically with a PC with viewing PDF files in IE 7.0. Now when viewing PDF files
on our special inhouse loan funding site, the browser will freeze and eventually an error message will come up "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close".
What I tried so far...
-Ran the Adobe update , it installed Acrobat Professional 9.1.1
-Did the Reset under the Advanced tab in Internet Properties.
-Re-enabled the adobe related IE plugins.
-Deleted everything from the users %temp% file.
-Rebooted PC
I've asked our web application vendor if we could use a much better browser such as Firefox, Chrome, or even try IE8, but they said that it's not supported.

Ok, well this is an specialized web based application. I tried opening the PDF's in a new window on my Windows 7 PC and I got them to open without the infinite loop like on a Windows XP machine.
Because that causes an infinite loop on Windows XP, we need the PDF to display in browser, which causes a conflict sometimes between IE and Adobe dll files.
So I've checked out a file that doesn't normally crash the IE/Acrobat9.4 user and checked the properties.
Application: LiquidOffice Form Designer
PDF Producer: DocuCom PDF Core Library
PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
File Size: 253.77 KB
Now here's the properties of a PDF that intermittently crashes IE:
Application: Acrobat PDFMaker 8.1 for Word
PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller 8.1.0 (Windows)
PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
File Size: 272.14 KB
Remember I said intermittently. That's what's real difficult about the problem. That same file might open 10 consecutive times before crashing. OR it might crash on the first try. When things aren't consistently broken it's very hard to troubleshoot the issue since there is no concrete evidence of a single underlying cause. If it crashed every single time on that file, maybe we would say that its a corrupt file or there's an issue with the program that produced it. That's not the case here.
Good idea as to looking at the version. We could change the versions but we would need to open a request with the application developer, and updates to some of these forms takes weeks for them to integrate.

MFP M127fn - Can't Scan to PDF

I just bought this MFP and I can't figure out how to set it up to scan to PDF. I installed the software from the CD, then tried installing software from the web site. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and still don't have the option to scan to PDF. I found a post from 7-29-2014, but didn't understand the statement: "Once the HP Scan is software, click on Save as PDF." I've spent half of a Saturday researching and trying any solution I could find, but still no luck.
This question was solved.

Hi @JanieBird ,
I see that you are having issues scanning to a PDF format. I will do my best to help you.
Here is a document for scanning with the HP Scan Software.
Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software for HP LaserJet Multifunction Printers.
This is a screen shot of the HP Scan Software that you should see. You will see all the options for scanning to. Disregard the model number.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Have a nice day!

Re: can't scan to PDF

Can only scan to jpeg. I need to scan to Pdf. The printer used to work fine but sometime in the last thirty days it decided to eliminate the choice of jpeg or Pdf and whether i want to scan more than one page to a file. Please help and make it simple because I really don't understand what's going on.

Hi maddogmalia,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues with scanning but with some additional information I'd be happy to have a further look into things
1. Which model HP printer do you have?
2. Which version of Mac or Windows do you have?
3. Is the printer connected via USB, Ethernet or wireless to the computer?
4. Did you notice if any updates occurred at the same time this issue arose?
5. Is there anything you've tried on your own already? Just so I don't ask you to repeat anything major!
Once I have this information I'd be happy to have a further look into things. You can also, if you're using Windows, download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can assist. If it fails on anything just let me know!
