The options available in the Optimized Scanned PDF dialog box also appear in the Optimization Options dialog box,
which are described in detail under that heading in this topic.
Basic scanning options
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.
Note: You can scan both sides of pages even on scanners that do not themselves support two-sided scanning. 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.
Color Mode (Windows only) Select a basic color mode (Color, Black and White, or Grayscale) supported by your
scanner. This option is enabled if your Scanner Options are set to use the Acrobat scanning dialog box instead of the
scanner application.
Resolution (Windows only) Select a resolution supported by your scanner. This option is enabled if your Scanner
Options are set to use the Acrobat scanning dialog box instead of the scanner application.
Note: If you select a Color Mode or Resolution option not supported by your scanner, a message appears and your
scanner’s application window opens, where you can select different options.
New PDF Document Select this to create a new PDF; deselect it if you want to append the scanned pages to an
existing PDF.
Append Select this if you want to add the converted scan to an existing PDF. Use the pop-up menu to select an open
PDF or click Browse to find and select another PDF.
