[Athen] Anyone having problems scanning with newer Adobe Acrobat Pro?

[chagnon at pubcom.com]

I assume that when you say you're using "Adobe" you really mean you're using
Adobe Acrobat software, correct?

 

If so, what version of Adobe Acrobat is that?

 

FYI, Adobe is a software company that has around 100 different software
technologies. Adobe is also a mud brick used in native southwest
architecture.

 

Several possible solutions:

It sounds like there might be a problem with the drivers that communicate
between the scanner and Acrobat. So to diagnose this, you can do the
following:

1.	Get the manual or set up instructions for that new shiny scanner.
2.	Read them.
3.	Reinstall the scanner's software as directed in the instructions.
4.	You might need to update the scanner drivers, too. Visit the scanner
manufacturer's website and download/install any updates.
5.	Check which version of Adobe Acrobat is being used. If it's the copy
that came with the scanner, it could be a "lite" version or be out of date.
If your college has a full license of Acrobat Pro DC you can use, I
recommend using that instead of what came free with the scanner. 
6.	To reinstall a fresh copy of Adobe Acrobat, you first have to
uninstall the previous version, and then shut down and reboot your computer.
Make this a real shut-down (called a cold boot) rather than just restarting
the computer.

Hope this helps,

We just got a shiny new scanner.  It worked initially, scanning one page,
but now it crashes Adobe every time.  I am creating a new document from
scanner in Adobe, and Adobe crashes.file never gets saved.

 

I'm so frustrated I could scream.  This is not a scanner issue, it is
definitely an Adobe issue.  

 

Anyone else having problems and found a fix?
