Fix Adobe Acrobat Crashing When Scanning with Fujitsu fi-7460
Question details
Adobe Acrobat intermittently crashes while importing scanned documents from a Fujitsu fi-7460 scanner.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- Windows 10
- Scenario
- Importing physical documents into digital PDF format using a Fujitsu scanner and Kofax VRS.
- Observed behavior
- The Adobe Acrobat application crashes unexpectedly and closes during the scanning and import process.
Test if the crash occurs with a single specific document or all documents by scanning a different page, and ensure your Fujitsu scanner is securely connected to your PC.
Update Drivers, Firmware, and Repair Acrobat
Keeping your hardware drivers updated and repairing the software installation often resolves intermittent scanner crash issues.
Software crashes during scanning are frequently caused by outdated TWAIN/ISIS drivers or corrupted application files. Ensuring all components are up to date helps establish a stable connection between the scanner and Acrobat.
Visit the official Fujitsu support website to download and install the latest drivers and firmware specifically for the fi-7460 model.
If you are using Kofax VRS in your environment, ensure you update it to the latest version that is fully compatible with Windows 10.
Open Adobe Acrobat, click on 'Help' in the top menu bar, and select 'Repair Installation'. Allow the process to run completely, then restart your computer.
Create a New Windows Administrator Profile
If the issue persists, your current Windows user profile or permissions might be corrupted or misconfigured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Adobe Acrobat crash when scanning only specific documents?
The crash may be caused by an unusually large file size, overly high DPI scanning settings, or complex graphics in that specific document which overwhelm the scanner's memory allocation or Acrobat's processing engine.
How do I know if the problem is my Fujitsu scanner or the PDF software?
You can isolate the issue by trying to scan using the default Windows Fax and Scan utility. If it scans successfully without crashing, the issue is likely with Adobe Acrobat or its integration settings rather than the scanner hardware itself.
Do I absolutely need Kofax VRS to scan documents into a PDF?
While Kofax VRS improves image quality and scanning efficiency, it is not strictly required for standard operations. You can configure your software to scan directly using standard TWAIN or ISIS drivers if Kofax is causing compatibility crashes.
