Acrobat X Pro crashes when trying to scan

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 (32-bit). I used to have Acrobat Pro 6 when I was running WinXP, but I knew that wouldn't be compatable with Win7, so I went out and got Acrobat X Pro.
 
My scanner is part of my multifunction device: Samsung SCX-4720F
 
Acrobat X Pro installed fine, as did my scanner driver. When I attempt to Create a PDF from my scanner, Acrobat X crashes every time.
 
I've searched the web for the problem, and have seen posts by lots of other people who have the same or similar problem with Acrobe Pro 9 using Samsung scanners, but I found no solution. Haven't seen any posts about it for Acrobat X Pro yet, but I know it hasn't been out all that long.
 
The scanner works fine. I've used it with Omnipage Pro 17, with no problems.
 
Anyone have any ideas?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.0, Windows

Are you using a scan preset? If so, trying creating a PDF without one. Are you showing or hiding your scanner's native interface? What data transfer method are you using (native or memory)?

I tried creating one using "Custom Scan" and it crashed, just like before.

I am not sure if I am hiding or showing my scanner's native interface. How do I check?

I also am not sure what data transfer method I am using. How do I check?

I'm just going off of the default settings, I guess. I haven't changed anything.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro and am in the process of shopping around for a good 3-in-1 scanner that will work well with this software. I have used Adobe's readers in the past but not the full Acrobat version. I am running Windows Vista with Microsoft Office Home Edition (2007)on my laptop.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend any particular brands of a printer/scanner that work well with Acrobat X? Is there an on-line resource that recommends which printer/scanners work best with Acrobat X? One of the printer/scanners I have been considering is the HP Laserjet Pro M1536DNF. Any thoughts from anyone on which products work best with the software.

Thanks,
Matt
