Acrobat Pro DC Scanning does not give option to set document size

On my MacBook, under Tools-Create-Scanner, after selecting the scanner and going to the Custom Scan page, there is no option to set the document size.  Why?  Where do I go to set the document size?  On my Windows machine (on the same scanner) I get a "Paper Size" option.  Why not on Mac?

This is because MAC has a default option of 'Show scanner's interface'. So whatever the settings you select for papersize, color mode or resolution from Acrobat, it will be overwritten by scanner's interface settings.

So these options are not available in Acrobat for Mac.

Once you click scan in Mac, scanner's dialog will open where you can set these settings.

Thanks.

This has to do with the scanner software/driver, not with Acrobat.
