Using Adobe Acrobat to creat a PDF, and scanning from a new Xerox C405 MFP, I am unable to locate the newly created PDF.  It does not appear on my desktop.  Where does it go?  I have a MacBook Pro running Catalina OS 10.15.

    Hi, exact steps:

    Open Acrobat. Select File>Create>PDF from Scanner

    Acrobat Scan dialog box opens.

    I select Scanner (Xerox Versalink C405 (b4:6d:75)(ICA)

    Output: I select New PDF Document

    Document Settings: I select Optimize Scanned PDF and Recognize Text.  I do not select Make PDF/A-1b compliant, and I do not select Add Metadata.

    I then select the SCAN button.

    Another Adobe Acrobat window opens, and an "Overview" scan is atuomatically created, and I can see the completed image of the scanned document inside the window.  I then depress the SCAN button to create the final scan, and the image is again scanned.  When the scan is completed the window closes.  The unnamed PDF document is nowhere to be found.
