Adobe Acrobat/Default values for Adobe

Expert: Ken Black - 12/22/2010


Question
Hi Ken - I am in the middle of a huge scanning project;  several thousand documents to go. The scanner is a Fujitsu S110C and the techie set it to Twain to Adobe. The problem is that there are numerous clicks to get each doc saved. If I could set the default value to Black and White document when it asks, that would eliminate one click per doc, and over several thousands scans, that adds up. I cannot see how to change it so that it does NOT ask every single time, is there any way that you know of? Thanks

Answer
Hi Merle,

It looks like the settings you are talking about are part of the TWAIN for the Fujitsu itself, not Adobe Acrobat. I have tried to look up the info for the scanner and cannot come up with anything. Acrobat does not have a provision for scanning in black and white vs. color. Try consulting Fujitsu.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Thanks,

Ken Black
