using the Acrobat Scan plug-in in Acrobat 6 Standard I used to be able to do duplex scanning wherein Acrobat would interweave the scanned pages after asking "front of n" or "back of n" after the first side. Now it does not offer the front/back option. Any ideas?
You mention that Acrobat "use" to be able to duplex scan, have you recently upgraded? If so, what version are you currently using?
If you select Both Sides and the scanner’s own settings are for only one side, the scanner setting overrides the Acrobat settings.
Perhaps your scanner does not support duplex and it is overriding the Acrobat settings. You can scan both sides of pages even on scanners that do not themselves support two-sided scanning, here is how you do it (taken from the Acrobat Help). When Both Sides is selected, a dialog box appears after the first sides are scanned. You can then reverse the original paper documents in the tray, select the Scan Reverse Side (Put Reverse Of Sheets) option in that dialog box, and click OK to scan the back sides of the paper pages. This produces a PDF with all pages in the proper sequence.
Hope this helps,
