Why is default scan in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 legal size

I have HP LaserJet with new software. I scan directly from Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 (Windows 7, 64 bit). The only scanner I can find in dropdown is WIA. I do not see the twain driver - even though I can scan with twain driver in the HP scanning application. The problem i am experiencing is that when I scan directly from Acrobat (using the only dropdown available - WIA - ) the scan is "legal size" and not "letter size." The only option for paper size is to select paper size automatically.
I would very much like to be able to scan directly from Acrobat and have letter size documents appear as letter size documents. Please help.

Try this, it worked for me in Acrobat v.8
Start an Acrobat scan.
In "Acrobat Scan" window select "Scanner Options"
In "Scanner Options" window select "User interface: Show Scanner's Native Interface"
Click OK on "Scanner Options" window
Click Scan on "Acrobat Scan" window
Next you will be asked to save the PDF file. After this a window should open that gives you an option to select paper size and document type.
I found locations in my HP Printer/Scanner to set paper size but I don't think the information is passed from the printer to Acrobat. I suspect it is an HP problem but they are total dolts about doing anything but pointing the fingure at Adobe.
Hope this works for you. It is very cumbersome but it yields the right results.

  • Default documents to Adobe Acrobat Professional

    I am running Adobe Acrobat Professional X but each time I open a PDF (from email and/or from file) my system defaults to Adobe Acrobat Reader XI.  How do I set it to (always) default to my Adobe Acrobat Professional X application?  I have tried to uninstall Reader but it will not uninstall.

    Find a PDF on your system, right click, and select open with, then select Acrobat as the default program.

    Why I cannot open my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    Have no clue. You have given us no information. What OS, what happens when you try to open Acrobat X? Are you trying to open from the Acrobat icon or by double clicking on a PDF? Add screen shots if needed to show the results, particularly any error messages.

    how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

    I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
    What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

  • Why certain functionality works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in LiveCycle Preview PDF?

    I have some simple logic in a LiveCycle form that will hide a subform when I click a checkbox.  When I save as dynamic PDF and open in Adobe Acrobat 9, it works fine, but when I test the .xdp in LiveCycle Preview PDF it does not.  I'm new to JavaScript and have wasted some time troubleshooting what I thought was a problem, only to find out it was working.  Am I doing something that is not capatible with Preview PDF? 
    Attached below are images of hierarchy, design, and code.  I realize the hierarchy is more complex than it needs to be.  It is an excerpt I built to test this functionality, based on the full document.
    Thanks.
    form1.diag.Cervical.show::click - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue == 1) {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "visible"} else {narrative.Cervical.mre.presence = "hidden"}
    form1.narrative.Cervical.mre::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
    this.presence = "hidden";

    Did you made the form as Dynamic and Interactive in the preview..
         1) Goto File menu -> Form Properties and select Defaults tab. Change the Default Render Format as Dynamic XML form
         2) Select the Preview Tab. Set the Preview type as "Interactive Form" and Preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form
         3) Finally while saving the PDF select Save As Type as "Adobe Dynamic XML Form".

  • Scanning problem - "Adobe Acrobat 9 has stopped working", Windows 7 OS

    Hi all,
    First post in the forum - Adobe has always come through for me before but I'm having problems that I can't solve by myself this time. When I try to scan documents into Adobe Acrobat 9 the scan completes (all the documents are drawn through) but when it attempts to progress to ask me whether there are any documents left to scan it crashes. There's no specific error message; Adobe just shuts itself down.
    I'm using Windows 7 and an IR2800 Canon printer-scanner combo to scan the documents. I downloaded the latest driver for the scanner earlier from Canon's website and am at a complete loss as to what the problem might be.
    I would very much appreciate any help rendered.
    Regards,
    Chris

    Sorry, I'm a doofus! Sorted it out, was a problem with the Network Scangear (I had an old version)

  • Cannot get C7280 to scan with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0. Can you help?

    I know this may not be the right place to post this, but here goes. I'm using 10.5.2 along with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0, a HP C7280 AIO connected to network via wireless. The normal software I use is HP Scan Pro.
    Here's my problem. When I try to scan from Acrobat it will either open the scan pro software, show acrobat as the place to scan to in the bottom, but not do anything. If I "accept", it crashes Acrobat OR it will say it can't communicate, so either way it doesn't work. Any ideas how to make this work?
    Thx

  • Scanning in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8

    I have Windows XP - Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 - a Brother MFC-465CN printer scanner. When I want to create a .pdf from the scanner the Adobe program closes down. No error message. I can scan in other programs such as Photoshop etc.

    Hi Bob,Acrobat Professional 8 only support Twain-Compliant devices, while the HP printer only support Apple's ICA compliant application. As a reference you may find the following article from Adobe:Acrobat has ICA support on MAC 10.7 for now with Acrobat XI onlyhttps://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-scanning-problems-acrobat-8.html You may scan using Image Capture or the HP Scan application, then open / import the scanned file into Adobe. You may find the Scanning specifications listed below, a Twain-compliant software interface only available for Windows:http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Deskjet-1050-All-in-One-Printer-series---J4/4027462/model/4027464/document/c02063036/ You may find any steps to scan with your printer in the following link:http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Deskjet-1050-All-in-One-Printer-series---J4/4027462/model/4027464/document/c03548786/ Regards,Shlomi 

  • Why can't i upgrade Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to 7.1.0???

    when i open adobe 7.0 standard and click help --> "check for updates now", it says there is one update available (Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Standard Update). it shows up on the right column "selected updates", but when i click the update button nothing happens.
    no error, no event logs...nothing. just closes the updates window and brings be back to a blank acrobat screen
    before i click update
    after i click update
    anyone know why this is happening? also, is there a link to where i can download and install this update manually? adobe.com only goes back to v10.

    Hi David ,
    It could be possible as Acrobat 7 standard is a pretty older version .
    Compatibility of Acrobat 7 standard with the OS you are using could be another possibility .
    It is an older version ,would be slightly difficult to get the updates of this specific version.
    I would recommend you to opt for the latest Acrobat version .i.e Acrobat 11.0.10.

  • Why can't I install Adobe Acrobat?

    I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat but it won't install.  Adobe Application Manager says that I need to close Safari when there's absolutely nothing open.  I've tried restarting my computer but to no avail.

    Please search for Activity monitor in spot light (search option on top right hand side) and chck if Safri is still running in the background, if yes then select the application from there and click on quit button.
    If still not resolve then restart your computer once and go to /Application and double Adobe Application Manager to install Acrobat Pro on your computer.

  • Why must I activate my Adobe Acrobat every time I try to view a PDF?

    Hi There! I have reinstalled my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard, as a recent work network upgrade removed all non-standard programs from our computers. The installation process included having to activate it, which I did. Since then, almost every time I need to open and view a PDF, I get the activation warning and have to activate again. Sometimes it works, and I can continue to view the PDF. Sometimes the activation screen warns that I have activated too many times and shuts down! Please help.

    Well, it never activates properly, meaning the pertinent data is not stored permanently. Could be anything from local user privileges to networking stuff. Talk to your IT again. They probably made a mess with whatever they did. Activation requires admin priviliges at least for the first time...

  • Improve Image after Scan with Adobe Acrobat 9.3 ?

    Hi folks,
    I frequently scan multiple documents directly from the scanner using an ADF - so I often have piles of docs of many pages. I can adjust the scanner settings to make most of them look good but sometimes there are pages that should be improved after having created the pdf. Is there any possibility to do that ? Do I just need another software - maybe from Adobe ? I just want to adjust contrast, brightness, gamma etc. to make the doc look good.
    Cheers and sorry for that "stupid" question :-)
    Oliver

    Thanks!!! It is version 9.3.1. Should I upgrade for better?
    But WHen I tried again changing the parameters as below: trying to print a few pages
    l_oCAcroPDDocPrint.PrintPagesSilent(0, 2, 0, 0, 0) - 0 first page and 2 last page. It works fine.
    In 7.0 I used -1 in place of last page and it printed all pages of that particular PDF.
    I did not find about printing all of these pages from Acrobat 9.0 API. Can you please let me know?

  • Why did Windows updates remove Adobe Acrobat?

    This has now happened twice.  I think the last time I did some kind of restore back to a prior state but this time I'm going to re-install Acrobat I guess... but why is this happening?   Now whenever I open a PDF, it opens in Adobe Reader and I can't do all the cool things Acrobat does...  ugh. 

    Hi amanda,
    Windows updates are not known to cause uninstallation of Acrobat.
    Please check the 'Control Panel' > 'Programs' to see if Acrobat is istill listed or not.
    If Yes, select 'Acrobat' click on 'Change' to repair Acrobat.

  • Adding a default setting to Adobe Acrobat XI Standard

    I am creating a very large document (over 100 pages) where we would like people to check boxes throughout the document.  The current default setting is for an X to fill the box but we want a check mark.  How do I update the default setting to change it from an X to a check?  I've tried using Duplicate Across Pages and that didn't work either.

    No, there's no trial version of Standard. Here's Adobe's comparison: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    Get Pro if you intend think you'll be doing any JavaScript programming since there are a number of limitations that Standard imposes. You can create the same field types with Standard as with Pro and can configure the fields the same way.
    The editing tools in Pro are more extensive and include the Redaction, Preflight, and custom Actions (formerly Batch processing).
