Question

Can't scan double sided

I'm using Acrobat 2017.

When I try to create a pdf using my scanner, and scan "both sides," the option is accepted, yet it only scans the front sides from my Brother TWAIN scanner. 

Both sides scanning worked fine using this scanner in Acrobat 2015 on an older computer.

Is there a fix or workaround?  I need double sided scanning - that's why I bough a scanner that could do it!

Thanks!

Hi  @ENM+359

 

Sorry for the troubled experience, kindly check with your Scanner vendor if they can provide you an updated driver. 

Also, let us know what version of Acrobat you are using: https://adobe.ly/4kGn18z;

 

Currently, we don't have any report of such issue related to Acrobat. The information related to double-sided scan is mainly provided by scanner drivers to Acrobat.

Hi eufaulalawyer,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.

Please ensure that you have selected the optionfor both side scan under the printer settings, not only on the Print window in Acrobat.

Please share the screenhsot of the settings you have slected. Also, share the Acrobat and OS version number on the machine.

 

Let us know if you need any help.

 

Thanks,
