Notes for using Adobe Acrobat
• Acrobat's default settings overrides the previous settings for “Resolution”, “Scan Type”
and “Image Mode”.
• The following functions cannot be used:
- “256 Color” or “8 Color”
- “Rotation Degree” selection when “End of Page Detection” is selected
- Long Page Scanning
• When scanning a paper document and converting the image to PDF using Acrobat,
unexpected images may be output when:
1. Setting “Edge Shadow Removal” in Acrobat, and setting “Digital Endorser” or
“Black Background” options in the TWAIN driver at the same time. Letter strings
embedded in the image or the background may be missed.
Solution 1: Set “Edge shadow removal” to “OFF” or set any option other than
“Adaptive” for “Color/Grayscale” and/or “Monochrome” under “Compression” by
selecting [File] - [Create PDF] - [From Scanner…] - [Image Settings…] in Acrobat.
Solution 2: Adjust the scanning density in the TWAIN driver.
2. Setting “Adaptive” for “Color/Grayscale” and/or “Monochrome” under “Compres-
sion” in Acrobat and scanning in a resolution lower than the resolution recom-
mended for Acrobat.
Solution: Set OPTION to something other than “Adaptive” under “Compression.”
3. Scanning a document longer than the double letter (11x17) or A3 size, when set-
ting “Overscan” in the TWAIN driver, the scan may fail.
Solution: When scanning a double letter (11x17) or A3 size of document, do not
set “Overscan” in TWAIN driver.
As for detailed usage and information of Acrobat, refer to “Create a PDF file from a
scanned document” in Acrobat Help.
