Try using the Create PDF, From Scanner (suggested DPI setting 300).

Once the page has been scanned, check its apperance, if it is skewed, run the Optimize Scanned PDF to deskew it. If it looks OK, run OCR Text Recognition.

If using Windows Vista, check your permission to use the scanner.

If you have not used Acrobat to scan your doc, you will have to configure Acrobat to recognize your scanner.
