Upgrade to Adobe 9 pro breaks scanner compatibility

I have been using Adobe 7 Standard and Adobe 8 Standard to create PDF documents from my flatbed scanner (Microtek ScanMaker S400).
This had been working fine until I upgraded to Adobe 9 Professinal about 2 months ago.
Now, when I try to create a  PDF from the scanner most of the options are grayed out (Black and White Document, grayscale document, color document, color image). There are two options available: Custom Scan and Presets.  The Custom Scan opens another dialog box with some options. When I choose "scan" I get an error saying:
"Error while interacting with the scanner: the selected scanner was not found."
The scanner continues to work normally with other programs on my computer including Adobe Photoshop.
I am running Windows XP SP3 with 3GB of RAM. No recent hardware changes have been made.
I've reinstalled the scanner drivers and have the most uptodate version.

Try re-installing the scanner driver and/or finding the most recent drivers to install.

  • Have a new Dell Latitude with Adobe X Standard pre-loaded.  Purchased upgrade to Adobe XI Pro today

    Have new Dell Latitude laptop with Adobe X Standard pre-loaded.  Purchased upgrade to Adobe XI Pro today and have Serial #.  Installed the upgrade successfully, but it is asking for the Serial # of the previous version...  I don't have that Serial# and in the process of the upgrade it unistalled the old version so don't really have a place to look back to.  What next?

    Hi Dan,
    From where did you order the older Acrobat X Standard?
    If it was a boxed product then the serial number must be behind the case, else if it was downloaded, login to your Adobe account and check the same.
    Else contact Customer care or Chat with a tech support and they would be able to help you.

  • Blocked upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. What do I do?

    I have downloaded Framemaker 12, which Blocked upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI from ProX. What do I do now? Does Adobe provide technical support for product installs?

    Framemaker's ReadMe usually has this documented, but I haven't looked at Frame in a Dog's Age. Acrobat has the Adobe PDF Printer and FrameMaker has the Adobe PDF Add-on available as a separate installtion with it's own MSI file that can be installed at the same time as Framemaker if you want to do it.  BUT if you are going to install both FrameMaker and Acrobat on the same machine, THEN you are supposed to chose which PDF creation tool you want to use BEFORE you install both.  The Framemaker installer used to tell you that before you installed the Adobe PDF Add-on.
    My suggestion would be to Uninstall the Adobe PDF Add-on via Add/Remove Control Panel and then install Adobe Acrobat XI.

  • Upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to the latest version

    I purchased few years ago Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and enjoying it since.
    Recently I purchased a new camcorder outputing MP4 and AVCHD video formats which cannot be read by Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.
    What are my options?
    Is there a path to upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to a version which can read MP4 and AVCHD video formats?
    Philippe

    There are two solutions for you and neither of them offer any discount for already having version 1.5 since it was released over 10 years ago.
    You can atill purchase Premiere Pro CS6 (which will never, ever, be upgraded) and have it for a one time price, or, you can simply subscribe to the Creative Clould and get the latest and greatest Premiere Pro CC.
    To sign up for one product is $19.99 per month, and to sign up for all of them is $49.99 per month. That is just about every Adobe program from Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, all the way through to Acrobat Pro.

    Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
    What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
    Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
    This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

  • Upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.1 and prior versions still present cause confusion.

    After buying Adobe Acrobat X Pro, installing it, I see Adobe Acrobat 8 Provessional and Adobe Acrobat Pro still are listed as "applications".  Should these be removed?  If so, does using the Acrobat Uninstaller.app allow me to specifically delete each without destroying my Adobe Acrobat X Pro version? I use Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.  I would like to avoid reinstalling Acrobat X Pro, but for no particular reason except that things are working so well at the moment. This is what is listed on my computer now.

    Hi,
    Before removing Acrobat 8 please check the version of AdobePDFViewer plug-in.
    Go to (Drive where OS is installed)\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\ and click on AdobePDFViewer.plugin to check its version. Now follow the instructions below
    a) If the version of plugin starts with 10 then
         - Launch Acrobat 8 Professional
         - Go to Help-> Activation->Deactivae
         - Then quit Acrobat 8
          - Trash the "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional" folder     
    b) If the version of plugin starts with 8 then
          - Go to Acrobat 8 Professional folder
          - Launch the Acrobat Uninstaller app
          - in the browse dialog for uninstall select Adobe Acrobat Professional present in "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional" folder
          - Reinstall Acrobat X Pro
    regards,

  • Mavericks seems to break Scanner compatibility.

    I can't use my high speed Canon DR2010c scanner after upgrading to Mavericks. It's not being recognized by Image Capture and there are no Canon-supplied TWAIN drivers since (according to Canon) Apple supplies the drivers. The scanner shows up in System Profiler.
    According to other posters, Epson scanners are having the same issue.
    Help is appreciated.

    How do you edit your own post, BTW?
    Withing 15 minutes there should be and Edit link next to the Like and Reply link.
    If you fail to find a fix give ViewScan a try.  You can check at its website to see if your scanner is supported. I would be surprised if it wasn't.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9.0.  I would like upgrade to v. 11

    I'd like to upgrade from Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9  to Acrobat Pro v. 11.  via uninstalling  v. 9.0 and installing v. 11.   The reason is that I'm having problems opening PDF files on my PC.

    Acrobat XI Pro does not work as well as previous versions. For example, using "Combine Files into PDF" function, Acrobat will not work if one or more of your WORD docs has a text layer (such as in a WORD template to produce a letterhead).  The text layer will not print to PDF, although this function works fine in previous versions.  It will convert your WORD docs to PDF, but if any WORD doc has a text layer, it will not be converted.  It will show up as a blank space.  I have a letterhead text layer that has my work credentials.  It does not show up on the converted PDF, using the bundle (Combine Files into PDF) function.  Tech Supports workaround for this is to first create a PDF from the WORD page that has a text layer by first clicking on Acrobat, at the top of the monitor page, then clicking on Create PDF.  Save the PDF, which will have the printed text layer.  Then go to Combine Files into PDF and include that already created PDF page in the bundle.  That will work, but it's another step you have to go through to create your bundle, i.e., your work flow is interrupted by having to accomplish the workaround (documented in Adobe Case No. 0185444461).  Acrobat Pro 9 extended did not need this workaround - nor did previous versions.  Tech Supports comment was that Adobe changed a lot of things - in this case, not for the good.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

    I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
    My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
    This error happens when:
    1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
    2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
    3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
    Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
    I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
    Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
    I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
    Thanks!
    Stephie

    Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this.  First download the updated
    Distiller ICC profile files at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
    Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
    c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
    This solved the problem for me.
    This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys...  folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc).  Once you add these three files to  c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color  you will be good to go.
    It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing.  Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
    How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
    Help!

    Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    8.
    When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
    In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
    So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.

  • When upgrading from Abobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI, is it possible to save Headers and Footers in documents?

    I support a law firm that users headers and footers in their documents.  They are upgrading from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI.  when they did an install on one PC, the headers and footers in a PDF did not show and had to be recreated.  Is there a way around that?  I's appreciate any input.
    Thanks!
    Ed

    This is a work around. Bring the pdf into Illustrator. Go to Select >Object>Text.  In the attributes panel, deselect Overprint. In the Transparency panel, select Knockout Group. In the Appearance panel, check to make sure the black is not overprinting by clicking on the Character entry. If not, try clicking "Clear Appearance" (here I got a little lost.
    Resave the pdf file. Your black text should now knock out. You may have to retrap, unless your RIP does that for you.
    Hope this helps. (I had to keep trying to get it to work, but I finally did.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI unability to open pdf mail attachments

    Since upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI I am unable to open most pdf attachements on outlook. The message is that the file is corrupt or was encoded wrong. How do I correct this.

    Hi Pat
    I tried to save the attachment to the hard drive in Outlook 2013.
    When opening the file in acrobat the error says that the file is either not a supported type or damaged (incorrectly encoded)
    I have Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.10 and windows 7 64 bit installed. It worked perfect on Acrobat pro X until about December 2014. In tried a repair, a clean install of XI. The files are bank statements. It works on Mac and Adobe reader, so the files must be correct.

  • Do I have to install Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit PDF files?

    I am subscribed to Adobe PDF Pack.
    I want the ability to drag and drop to insert, delete, and arrange pages. So it appears I need Adobe Acrobat Pro. Is that correct?
    If I upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro, do I have to install anything on my PC? Or can I simply drag and drop to insert, delete, and arrange pages online (in my browser) using the same login I use now for Adobe PDF Pack?
    I don't want to install anything. Hence my question.
    Thank you!
    Bob

    Hi robertm33760217,
    Yes, You would need Adobe Acrobat Pro to insert, delete, arrange pages.
