[X4U] Re: Program that opens but quickly closes

[James Hurley]

Thanks to all who responded to my problem of Acrobat Pro quitting  
shortly after launching.

Turns out the problem is with Adobe. After diligent tech assistance  
from ScanSnap I was directed to the Adobe Site with the suggestive  
title "Acrobat 8 Professional or Adobe Reader 8 crashes 10 seconds  
after you start the application (Mac OS)" Here's the url.

The main thing appears to be turning off the plug-in.

I can't recommend ScanSnap strongly enough. Excellent product, great  
service.

This document scanner is a graceful way to get ride of all that paper  
and file it away on you computer with a title that allows you to find  
it easily. The OCR reader is amazing. It took a hardcopy (image) of  
an Excel printout (with all the grid lines) and, after a bit of work,  
turn it into a bona fide ASCII file. The cost is a bit expensive at  
$435, but you get a copy of Acrobat Pro in the bundle and that alone  
could set you back $400.
