ROSNETTA MODE ON MACBOOK PRO ?

Hi, if you'll please stop shouting, I'll be glad to provide some details for you. [You do know that typing in all caps is the same as shouting?]

First off, Acrobat has no ability to scan. Yes, you can see scanning as an option, but that is done through software connections. To make matters worse on the Mac, scanning is done via Apple's "Image Capture" application, the worst piece of scanning software I've ever seen. Image Capture's one benefit is that it can run most scanners, but it does it through its own interface—which is a bad interface.

On PCs, it's a bit better as they can use TWAIN technology that makes the link from one software package to another. In this case, it can link Acrobat to Canon, Epson, and other scanner's native software. However, back when Steve Jobs was still running Apple, he got rid of access to TWAIN because of the security risks that it presents.

As a Mac user, what I've been doing for over 25 years is using the scanner's software, saving the files on my computer, and then converting them to PDFs. That way, if your scanner's software is still not native, you do not have to worry about crossover nativity.

Now, here's an important tip: when you scan, assuming that you wish to both convert the document into a PDF and process via OCR, scan each document in the TIF format. There are big reasons for that: (1) it's a non-lossy format meaning that it will capture and store each and every pixel from the document. JPG is a lossy format, and in documents, it can cause image degradation. (2) If you take a TIF file and drag it onto the Acrobat icon in your Dock, it will automatically convert it to a PDF, and it will automatically do the OCR process. If you drag a JPG, PNG, or GIF onto Acrobat, it will convert it to PDF, but then the process stops. If you also want to run OCR, that will require an extra step on your part.

BTW, a full-page TIF document can easily be 8 MBs of storage. However, if the document is just text, it will be about 80-120 kb after conversion, so do not be put off by the size of the original scanned documents. Once converted and the PDF is saved, you can toss them.

Oh, one more tip: As you save each page of a document to be processed, the Mac OS will name them "document.tif," document (2).tif," etc. However, this means that the first page will be processed to be the last page in a multi-page PDF. You can either simply move the last page to the first in Acrobat or, after all the scanning is done, add "(1)" to the end of the first scanned page. I do whatever the day tells me to do. What's important is that you know that this happens.

However, if not now, when? I suggest you go to your scanner's website and see if there are any updates to the software. Apple traditionally keeps Rosetta available for only (about) three versions of OS updates and then drops it. We are approaching that soon. So, if you wish to use the same scanner and that scanner's software, and they are not going to update the software to run on the current OS, you may be forced to keep a computer dedicated to that scanner or not do any more updates to your main computer. 

BTW, here's how to download and install Rosetta for your Mac: https://www.macworld.com/article/338843/how-to-force-a-native-m1-mac-app-to-run-as-an-intel-app-instead.html

And, here's an article I wrote a number of years ago on how to get the best quality scan for documents.

Good luck!

I know what Rosetta is but I have no idea what you mean. Please explain your problem. Use links or screenshots if needed.
