Scanning multiple pages into PDF

I'm using Acrobat 8 and the only why I know to scan multiple pages is to scan one page at a time and click the additional pages option. The file will show all pages. But how can I scan all the pages at once, without having to put them into the scanner one page at a time, and have them come up as one file? Please advise and thank you.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

First, the obvious - make sure you are using the document feeder on your scanner, not the flat bed.

Next (from the Acrobat 8 help file): In the Acrobat Scan menu, under "Scanner" Select an installed scanner. You must have the manufacturer’s scanning software installed on your computer.
Scanner Options (Windows only) Click to open the Scanner Options dialog box. (Available only after you select a scanner.)
Sides Specify single or double-sided scanning. If you select Both Sides and the scanner’s own settings are for only one side, the scanner setting overrides the Acrobat settings.
You can then scan multiple pages into a single PDF without manually adding each page.

Finally, if the above doesn't work for you, use the manufacturer's scanning software to scan to a JPEG or a TIFF file and then go to Acrobat 8 >Create PDF>From File (or From Multiple Files) and select the file(s) you just scanned.
