Scanning to PDF Files Not an Option with Vista

I need to be able to scan to a pdf file using my new computer which is
running vista. Under XP I would have the option to scan a document to a pdf
file. I dont seem to have this option under vista. How do I get that
functionality back?

Re: Scanning to PDF Files Not an Option with Vista

Did you reinstall Acrobat (or your PDF creating application)?

When I open Acrobat, the first thing I see on the Toolbar is Create PDF
(with a drop down menu).... the fourth option down is From Scanner.
