Hi:
 
How can I create a keyboard shortcut to File |Create | PDF From Scanner | In Adobe Acrobat 9 this doesn't even appear on tools menu.
 
Thanks in advance.

There's really no way to do it without writing a plug-in using C++

Now there's a challenge... I'll have to look into this some more and get back to you. It's inconceivable to me that Adobe has no hooks other than through a C++ (or other) plug-in to do this. after all these years (and up to v10 now.

Yes, and it's a daily pain.
I asked for this feature during Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9, and Acrobat X beta-tests…
I guess we should have to wait until Acrobat XX release.
:-(

It looks like the Acrobat's team don't know that those who uses Acrobat for scanning documents are not only "dummies mouse pushers" or "C++ developers".
