    OSX 10.8.5 CS5.5 & HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    A_Wolfe Community Member

      I bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 plus believeing it is MAC OSX compatable however upon trying to scan into Adobe CS5.5 suite of applications I was not able to scan into any of the Adobe CS programs. I can scan from the scanner into a PDF that the HP printer makes and place it in a folder on my computer but I cannot Scan directly into Adobe Acrobat X or any of the CS5.5 programs.

       

      After a few hrs of searching I found on the user manual on page 50 the following

       

      "The HP Scanning Software does not support TWAIN and WIA scanning on
      computers running Mac OS X."

       

      I need to know if this issue has been resolved and if so what is the solution or workaround to scan directly into Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign or any of the other Adobe CS5.5 master suite collection.

       

      From what I have read it seems that there are two issues here

      1 most programs are moving away from twain and WIA in favor of something else forget what it is and HP moved on but did not consider backward compatability important so they didn't include what is needed.

       

      2. Adobe could use a patch for this other format

       

      If there is no current solution I will return the MFP (multi-function printer) and look for a replacement. I would appreciate any reccomendations from the community for an MFP that works pain free with Adobe CS5.5 and Mac OSX.

       

      Looking for high quality scan with document feeder and flatbed, photo print capability does not need to fax.

       

       

      Thank you your assistance.
