Got to the print and fax option in System Tools, and your scanner should be listed along with your printers--Adobe Acrobat 9 included. Click on the scanner and it should display a dialogue box with a button for <open scanner>. The button for <show details> gives you options for Scan Mode, Resolution, and, most importantly, Scan To. It is here that you can select Adobe Acrobat Pro after browsing through your applications.
No, this is no substitute to scanning from inside Acrobat. All it does is open the scanned image in Acrobat after it is created and saved. This does not work for multi-page documents, and in addition you are limited to the rather badly implemented system-scanning interface, which always does a prescan without even asking and then tries to select objects - which doesn't help at all.
In my case the problem is not that the scanner is not appearing (that just indicates a missing Twain driver) but the driver actually crashing while it scans. I have now found out that it will only crash when I scan bitmap images, it works fine for grayscale (I haven't tried colour). However, that doesn't help me either.
However, my old version of Acrobat 7 scans bitmaps just fine, so that's the best work around so far.
