Scanning multiple pages - pop-up for "Next Page" appears

[Cloy_Tobola@adobeforums.com]

I'm running Acrobat Profession version 7 on OS X 10.5.

My scanner is an Epson Perfection 3170 with an automatic document
feeder.

The settings for scanning seem to have been goofed up -- any
assistance in resetting them would be appreciated.

Previously, I could drop a handful of pages into the feeder, choose
FILE => CREATE PDF => FROM SCANNER in Acrobat, set the scanner to ADF
(automatic document feeder), and it would create a single PDF from the
whole stack.

Now, the first page scans, the second page feeds through without
scanning, and then I get a pop-up called "Acrobat Scan". It says,
"Next Page" and "Front of Sheet 2" is selected (no other options) --
and I can choose DONE or NEXT.

If I choose NEXT, it scans the next page (and then skips another page).
When I choose DONE, it goes back to Acrobat and the PDF is created.
(Obviously, every other page in the document is missing.)

It never did this before, and it's kind of pointless having an
automated feeder if I have to stop after every page.

A few points:
- reinstalling the Epson software did not help
- I notice that I get a separate pop-up the first time the scanner dialog opens -- this pop-up allows me to choose a scanner (only one is currently installed). Don't remember getting this before the problem started.
- I have another program that uses the same scanner -- it continues to scan multiple pages without interruption. Ergo, I assume this is an Acrobat issue.

Any suggestions on fixing this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks! -c

I hate to state what may be an obvious solution and if you have already tried this, I do apologize. I run in to this problem from time to time using a Brother MFC and for me, it is solved by rebooting the printer, itself.

Thanks, Brian!

I've tried turning the scanner off/on, both after the computer is booted and when it's shut off.

Between the need to select "Next Paqe" all the time, and the fact that the scanner skips every other page, I'm really annoyed!

Does anyone have any other suggestions on where I might find a solution? I considered contacting Adobe, but their per-incident support seems kind of expensive.

Thnx! -c
