Document source incorrectly selects flatbed scanner

Hi, all. My first post here. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

I do rather a lot of scanning of multipage documents to image files in my practice. I used Acro 6 for years, and when I would click on create a pdf file...from scanner, in going through the dialog boxes, it always defaulted to document feeder as the source of the documents. I recently upgraded to v.8 professional and while I generally like the new program, it has one quirk that really bugs me -- when I scan a document as I described above, the document source defaults to "flatbed".

Is there any way known to anyone to change that default back to "document feeder" as it was in v.6?

TIA

Sorry for the delay in getting back. My scanner is a Brother 8840D multifunction machine. Acrobat 6.x correctly read it as a sheet fed scanner; it was only when I installed v.8 that this started.

Thanks.
