[Finale] TAN: Mac Scanner Acrobat question
To the wisdom of the list: I have an Epson Stylus DX4250 All in one machine, which I use only as a scanner. It used to work just fine, but the combination of MacOS 10.6.x, Acrobat 9.x and the available scanner driver doesn't work any more (and hasn't for over a year): When scanning black and white in Acrobat, a preview scan works fine, but the real scan aborts after 2 seconds. The scanner driver seems to crash. My questions: Does anyone know of a fix? Or, alternatively, do other scanners still work with this combination in Acrobat, or is there a problem in Acrobat itself? Note that scanning through Apple Preview works fine, but simply doesn't cut it for me. I occasionally have to scan 100s of pages of music, and Acrobat is far better. Currently I do this through Acrobat 7, which works fine, but is not Intel optimized and painfully slow. Johannnes ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Scanner Acrobat question
If it used to work with Acrobat and still works with Preview, then it seems likely that the problem is with Acrobat. Have you tried trashing all preferences and .plist files for Acrobat? You could also look for other versions of the driver, from either Epson or Adobe.

I don't know why I didn't try trashing prefs myself, having been on Macs for like decades, this should be routine trouble shooting... I had tried for ages with all sorts of driver versions, and I was close to giving up on this scanner altogether, and now it works! Well, I know why I am on this list, even though I hardly do any Finale related work these days... Thanks again!
