If I want to start a scan from scratch, I go to File>Create>PDF from Scanner. When I do that, nothing happens. Scanner is fully operational and connected to computer. I can scan with other programs. I can also scan if I open a PDF first and then go to File>Create>PDF from Scanner.
This only doesn't work when I want to scan a document without attaching the new scan to an existing PDF.

Hello gbr94303
We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, you are not able to scan from Acrobat Pro DC on a Mac machine, Is that correct?
Please check for any pending updates of Acrobat Pro from help>check for updates. Reboot the machine after the installation of any updates. Try resetting the preferences once, to reset preferences, refer to How to reset Acrobat Preference settings to default. Link: https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-8511
Reboot the machine and see if this brings any difference. You can also refer to Troubleshooting tips for scanner issues when using Acrobat Link: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-scanner-issues-acrobat.html

Thanks, The problem persisted.
I already had confirmed that I had the latest version of AP DC. I had also re-downloaded and re-installed the most current scanner driver. I’m using Mac OS High Sierra, V.10.13.3 on a MBPro (15 inch, 2017), with a Brother MFC-9970CDW.
Unfortunately, in an effort to get a clean start, I figured I would uninstalled AP DC and install a clean version. I uninstalled using the uninstaller in the AP DC folder in the Applications folder. I cannot re-install it. I downloaded the .dmg file from the Adobe website. After running it, I got an error message. See attached screenshot. I looked in my User/Library for Acrobat preferences and Application Support, but don’t know which might be relevant to the installation.
Now what???

im having the same issue, but will start to scan if i let it sit for a few mins. If i tell it to append to a open file it scans like normal, if i uncheck that it takes 3-5 mins for it to start scanning.
EDIT:
noticed if its file i extracted then saved - it still has a delay in scanning, but if i just keep scanning into a existing it works like it did before last patch
