Acrobat 5 with Wondows 8.1

I have been using Acrobat 5 for years, but my new PC is Windows 8.1
I tried to load it but got a message advising that there may be compatibility issues, but I can't find any definitive advice about this.
I only use Acrobat 5 for creating and adding to pdf files, nothing fancy, so I don't need the functionality in more up to date versions, and as a pensioner, I am loathe to lash out on a brand new version..
Any suggestions about how I should proceed
Happy New Year
Alan

You need Acrobat 11 for full compatibility. If you managed to get Acrobat 5 installed it would probably let you add to PDF files as before, but not a chance it could create them.

How do I get a copy of Acrobat with my CS5 Master Collection???

I activated my Adobe CS5 Master Collection (running on Snow Leopard) with a serial number purchased from CDW and everything went smoothly, but after a few days of using the core products I typically use I noticed Acrobat was not included in the installed software.
Now, Adobe lists Acrobat PRO as an included product in the Master Collection and rightfully so since it contans just about every product they make.
When I emailed Adobe about this but the only response I got was some pre-formatted auto-response probably sent to me from the help desk in India or something. The auto-response said absolutely nothing about how to obtain a copy for the Mac, and just had a link taking me to the Acrobat home page, which basically says there is no trial version of Acrobat for Mac available for download.
I gave up on it since I do not use Acrobat very much but now I am in a situation where I do need to have Acrobat Pro to finish a job and I cannot figure out how to get a copy installed with the Master Collection.
There was no disclaimer indicating that you would not be able to get a copy of Acrobat when I purchased the downloadable version vs. buying a boxed DVD set, so I am expecting there must be a way.
Adobe's help has been pretty much useless when I emailed them, and I cannot find anyone with the same problem on Google or in the Adobe forums, so is there someone out there who can give me the answer or help me?
If I have to purchase a seperate copy of Acrobat so be it, but since it is supposed to be included with the Master Suite that would be kind of stupid if I have to purchase a copy of Acrobat seperately.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!!!

This is just getting beyond ridiculous...
AND I can see from several forum threads I am not alone in this issue.
Adobe, you absolutely SUCK for making it so difficult to install this software. I am normally a fan of Adobe products, but now that you guys have bought out all your competiton you are getting lazy and stupid.
This is the most ridiculous crap I've ever seen when trying to install a product I PURCHASED!!!!!!!
So, after over another week (I have been trying to find a way to install Acrobat with my purchased copy of the Master Suite for MONTHS)... My IT guy finally gets me the installer DMG for Acrobat and now I cannot install it with my master collection because the serial numbers are not the same?
I never got a god damn serial number for Acrobat Pro when purchasing the master collection.
Asking Adobe for help is totally worthless and not even worth taking the time to do so because all they give you is some BS pre-recorded response that doesn't help you with JACK...
It has been a long time since I've had a problem installing a piece of software I PURCHASED.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU SERIOUSLY SUCK ADOBE ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.

Not Able To Use Acrobat With Updates

Hello,
When I slipstream all the quarterly updates through 9.5.5 into an original installation of Acrobat Pro 9 Extended which is version 9.0 the installer loads as version 9.5.5 and successfully installs Acrobat as a version 9.5.5 but when I open Acrobat and accept the license agreement I immediately receive a popup message that says the program is broke and cannot be used due to license discrepancies to reinstall it then when I click OK or terminate the process that generated the message Acrobat closes. If I install Acrobat as version 9.0 and manually apply the updates through 9.5.5 Acrobat works with no problems. Any assistance in helping me resolve the problem would be appreciated.
My reason for wanting to install version 9.0 as version 9.5.5 is I thought it might take up less space on my hard drive but it doesn't it still uses about 4.6GB of space which is significantly more than any other program on my computer. When I tried customizing the installation with the customization tool by selecting do not copy the installation files to the hard drive Acrobat still created over a gigabit of installer files in the installer folder in the Windows directory and created over a gigabit of update files in its folder under programs. Acrobat is quite a pig isn't it I am saddened to see that this is what hard drive space is being used for in world of larger hard drives. I would like to see programs like Acrobat function with 500 characters of code or less. That would be intuitive wouldn't it.
Sincerely,

I have never heard of slipstreaming the updates with the original install, only with updates themselves. I suspect that may be related in some sense, but just a guess.

Printing problems from acrobat with recieved pdf's

Hi everybody,
We have a problem with printing PDF files on windows 7 32 bit. This only happens with files that have come through one persons emails. When you open the PDF file from outlook it works fine but when you print it it crashes the print spooler service and the print job gets stuck in the print queue then you have to go into the queue and manually delete it. When I open pdf files that i have downloaded it all seems to work fine and will print.
Any help would be muchly appreciated
Also from this email you can email to an xp machine and it prints but if you email to the other windows 7 machine it does the same thing. But the other windows 7 machine can print thier PDF's from thier emails
Thanks
Jake

Quite frankly, it would really help the Adobe Acrobat team if you at least provided information as to what version of Acrobat or Reader you were using, what type of printer (manufacturer, model, and whether PostScript or not), etc.
We are not aware of a general problem of the type you describe and such information would help us track the issue down to assist you and any other users.

Open PS6 in Acrobat with a renamed "photoshop.exe"

Text in english is powered by Google Translate :-)
On the computers CS4 and CS6 is installed in parallel. Since images are standard 'open with CS6, had the two "Photoshop.exe" in "photoshop4.exe" and "photoshop6.exe" be renamed so that it was possible to choose PS6 under "Open with ...". Now there is the problem that from Acrobat and Bridge it is no longer possible to edit images with Photoshop, because he wants to have the original "Photoshop.exe". Can I teach the two programs that he "photopshop6.exe" uses? If so - how?
Auf den Rechnern ist CS4 und CS6 parallel installiert. Da Bilder standarmäßig mit CS6 geöffnet werden sollen, mussten die beiden "photoshop.exe" in "photoshop4.exe" und "photoshop6.exe" umbenannt werden, damit es möglich war PS6 unter "öffnen mit..." auzuwählen. Jetzt gibt es aber, das Problem, dass aus Acrobat und Bridge es nicht mehr möglich ist Bilder mit photoshop zu bearbeiten, da er die original "photoshop.exe" haben möchte. Kann ich den beiden Programmen beibringen, dass er die "photopshop6.exe" verwendet? Wenn ja - wie?

Why not leave Photoshop CS6 with the original file name photoshop.exe ?

Creating a form in acrobat with pages

I am building a website for a friend and my friend wants a way where a customer can order online. Before buying the domain, i am outlining the site, starting with ordering online. So i want i want it when you click on the order page, it will open a PDF with an interactive form. I made a header in pages with the company name, and i exported it to PDF and opened it in acrobat and ran the form assistant and want to manually put in the forms. i want to make fields for email, name, and address. Then at the bottom hit submit. Now when the submit button is pressed i want an email to be sent to my friends email address. Is that possible? And when my friend gets the email who will the from address be from? One more thing, is there a way for the PDF to check to see if the email is valid? Thank you in advance

It would be more usual (and easier) to do this with php or server script than with either acrobat or pages. Doesn't your web program have a plug-in for forms submission? You will also need some kind of spam filtering on the form, too. Try searching your web program's help for formmail. Basically you need the piece to create the form the user sees and also you need to enable the requisite stuff on the server where the site is hosted.
If you want them to really order online (ie with credit card or paypal, etc), then you need something like Mals or another ecommerce solution. That's pretty easy to integrate into most web programs.

Blank Acrobat with blank Errormsg in PDF-Preview

Hi all,
i am starting to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES Version 8.2.1.3144.1.471865 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0.
Any File i like to see a preview in LiveCycle Designer only shows an Acrobat window with blank screen and blank Errorwindow like
http://berlau.de/AdobeError.png
Some times i have the same problem with my FireFox. But after Restart of FireFox all is running well for some days.
At LD i can start it or reboot the computer as often as i like to do but the problem is still the same.
Any idea?
Regards
Ralf...

I had the exact problem with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 9.
Firstly, to allow LD to use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0, I found I had to removed Reader from my system.
After this, I started to get your error.
Upgrading Acrobat to verion 9.2.0 fixed this problem for me.

Error when saving a modification or just closing Acrobat with a pdf open.

When i open any pdf file the I have (tried over 50) and try to close the file with or without modifying it, I receive an error with the following Error information.
Then i receive a Microsoft visual C++ Runtime Library error with Acrobat.exe and 'R6025 - pure function call' as the error code.
Next this other window pops up saying there is an unknown software exception.
I have reported this bug to Adobe, but would appreciate any assistance.

I have some additional info but nothing really good.
If you click the Save in the left side of the Ribbon then it looks like that is when you get the message. If you click the Save in the top right corner you won't get the message. They must be calling different saving functions.
There really is no way around it other than making the field optional which probably removes some server side validation checks causing that message.
We've chosen to remove that field from the page as I needed it required, then they can't publish the page until they go to the properties and set the article date. By removing the field from the page layout the message goes away.
I hope MS will fix this at some point.

Zoom operation crashed Acrobat with Project 2007 content

I have some PDF created with Project 2007 contents on them. These file can be view normally. However, as soon as I zoomed in the MS Project content within the PDF, Acrobat crashed, regardless when it was standalone or within a browser. Can someone advice what the problem might be?
Thanks
uminds

Acrobat is capable of most of what you are asking for. The user can click on a part to select it, then, by right-clicking on the selected part they can select "Zoom to part" from the context menu. I am unsure how to author a 3D model so that the individual part information shows up in the Data panel of the sxtructure tree, but I have seen many files that do exactly that. I believe that this has to be done in the authoring application. As for the detailed 3D model of the individual part, Acrobat 3D gives you the ability to authro different views, which can contain individual parts. The best way to do this is to make the view of the individual part a Comment View. This type of view maintains all of the specific issues of the view.
I think that all of the attributes you've asked for are supported by Acrobat 3D in one way or another.

Using Acrobat with Adobe Drive

I am exploring using Acrobat professional with Adobe Drive 2.1. I have not seen an explict statement that Acrobat can use Adobe drive.
Here are my questions:
1. Can Acrobat 9 or 10 interact with Adobe Drive 2.1?
2. Are there any Acrobat limitations to using the exposed Adobe Drive 2.1 CMIS functionality?
Thanks
Tom

FatMac>MacPro is correct about using Preview to read PDF's. It is built in, reliable and kept up to date by Apple software updates.
Adobe Reader has had vulnerabilities that can cause your Mac to be attacked via malicious PDF's. Keeping Reader up to date is essential for good security, however Adobe updaters nag so much that it is simpler to avoid installing it if at all possible.
PC users recommend it because they had no PDF support for so long, OS X has always had PDF support from Apple.

Question on Acrobat with InDesign CS4

I am about to upgrade from PageMaker7 to InDesign CS4. Does InDesign CS4 have the same capabilities to create a PDF from an InDesign file? I guess I am asking do you get Acrobat software with InDesign like you did with PageMaker? I think it was Acrobat version 5 that came with PageMaker? TIA for your help.

Are you purchasing the stand-alone version of IDCS4, or a suite? If it's a stand-alone version, then the answer to one part of your question is no, IDCS4 does not come with Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Pro is a separate product, but is bundled with certain suites.
IDCS4 is fully integrated with Acrobat Pro, along with most other products in the Adobe line. The answer to the other part of your question is yes, ID can create PDF docs.
