Acrobat 8 and XP

I Have Acrobat 8.1.2. on the XP-computers. In many times i have a crash in Acrobat and i must open the programm again. Who can ask me for this problems.

I recently downloaded Adobe 8.1.2 and have XP on my system. When I open it I get a screen suggesting all of the Adobe extensions are not enabled. When I follow the instructions for managing add-ons my system tells me that all extensions are enabled. Should I simply ignore the screen? The download seems to be working OK.

  • Conflict between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and how I fixed it

    For the past 5 years, I have owned Adobe Acrobat version 9, and recently installed Adobe Reader as well (version 10.7). I was previously able to set up Firefox to use Acrobat to display PDF files in the browser without downloading them, but I recently noticed that this was no longer the case. Instead, every PDF file I tried to view was being downloaded instead. I came here to find a solution, and discovered that many other people are having similar problems. I followed the instructions given here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them), but found that they were actually UNhelpful. They tell you to turn off the Firefox PDF viewer by editing about:config to disable the file pdfs.js, which is the native Firefox PDF viewer-- but that will cause the PDF file type to disappear from the Tools/Options dialog, so you can't assign it to another program (whether Adobe or anything else). This makes it impossible to assign the Adobe plugin to open PDF files. I did figure out a solution on my own, and wanted to post it here to help other users with the same problem.
    I ultimately learned, through trial and error and a lot of research both here and on Adobe's website, that the root cause of my problem was a conflict in Firefox between Acrobat and Reader. I was able to solve it by upgrading Acrobat, getting rid of Reader and enabling the Firefox PDF viewer so that I could assign the PDF file type to the Acrobat plugin within Firefox. Here are the details of my problem and how I solved it:
    1. Acrobat and Reader conflict with each other in Firefox, but this isn't totally Firefox's fault. It's mostly Adobe's fault, and they pretty much admit it. Specifically, they say that Acrobat and Reader can't coexist on the same machine unless both are version 10 or higher. They tell you to upgrade to solve the problem--but I can't afford to pay for a new version of Acrobat. If you have to keep Acrobat 9.x, Adobe says the lowest version of Reader that will work with it is Reader 11. I couldn't upgrade to this because I have Vista, and Adobe hasn't issued Reader 11 for Vista (and doesn't plan to). I did cheat and download the Win 7 version of Reader 11, but it didn't help.
    2. If you have both Acrobat and Reader, you can choose a setting in Reader to make it the default PDF handler--but Firefox ignores this information and defaults to Acrobat no matter what. (This is the part we can blame Firefox for.) If you have a version of Acrobat which is below 9.5.5, Firefox actually blocks it as a security risk, so the plugin won't work at all, regardless of version number. That's why PDFs are being downloaded through your standalone program instead of being displayed in the browser. If you want to view PDFs in Firefox and keep Acrobat on your computer, you MUST upgrade Acrobat to version 9.5.5 or above.
    3. Unless you can upgrade Acrobat to at least 10.x, GET RID OF READER. As long as you can access Acrobat 9.5.5, it will work fine in Firefox and there's no need for Reader. I never used to have Reader myself, only Acrobat, but it must have been downloaded automatically when Acrobat was blocked by Firefox (which I didn't even realize).
    4. IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE ACROBAT 9.X TO 9.5.5, YOUR LAST CHANCE IS TODAY--6/26/13. Adobe has announced that today is the "end of life" for the Acrobat 9.x platform, and all support and upgrades will cease after today.
    When I searched for updates by going to Adobe's website, it told me there were none available--but when I checked for them FROM THE ACROBAT PROGRAM ITSELF (Help/Check for updates), I was offered a 300 MB upgrade that took me all the way from version 9.0 to 9.5.5 in one step. (It did take a very long time to download and install.)
    5. Once you have Acrobat 9.5.5, this is how to enable it in Firefox:
    a. INSIDE ACROBAT, set your preference for "Internet" to "view PDF files in browser." Close Acrobat. Close Firefox if it's already open.
    b. Reopen Firefox. Check Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins to make sure the Acrobat plugin is there. Enable it if disabled. Close Firefox.
    If the plugin isn't there at all, repair your Acrobat installation through Control Panel. Then return to Firefox and enable it. Close Firefox.
    c. Reopen Firefox again. Go to Tools/Options and check the list of file types. For the names that contain "Adobe" and "Acrobat," Acrobat should be set as the default program to open them. Select it from the drop-down list if it's not. Continue to scroll through the alphabetical list--you should see another entry called Portable Document Format. If it's there, the default will be "preview in Firefox." You should be able to change this to "Acrobat (in Firefox)" using the drop-down menu. Do NOT pick the option that says "Acrobat"--this is the standalone program and will cause your PDFs to be downloaded.
    If you don't see "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as an option, this means your plugin is not working. Go back and fix it using the instructions above (including repair of Acrobat if necessary).
    d. If you don't see a file type for "Portable Document Format" at all, that means the Firefox PDF viewer is disabled. You must enable it by editing the about:config file. To see it, type about:config in the Firefox address bar. You will get a warning message--just click OK and keep going.
    This file is a long list of statements in alphabetical order. LOOK FOR A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "pdfjs.disabled" with a Boolean value of "true." Select this statement and right-click. A context menu will offer you choices including "Toggle." Select that one, which will change the Boolean value to "false." Exit about:config. Close Firefox.
    e. Now return to Tools/Options, scroll through the list of file types, and you should see "Portable Document Format." Select "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as in the instructions above. Close Firefox.
    f. The first time you try to open a PDF file in Firefox, you may get a dialog box which offers you choices of how to open the file. The first will be Acrobat, but DON'T CHOOSE THAT--it will cause your PDF to download. Instead, go to the choice that says "Open as application/pdf." You don't need to change the program that opens this file type, because your settings are already correct. Your PDF should open in the browser, with the full-featured Acrobat menu (including the option of editing or saving the file).
    I hope other users can benefit from the truly painful experience I had figuring all of this out. Good luck.

  • How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F?  I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

    Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f.  I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8.  They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
    Thanks for the help!!

    To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

    What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?

  • Had acrobat 8 instaled today i downloade a U torrent and suddenly acrobat turned into u torrent on all my adobe files .. went to open with clicked on acrobat and then it changed to Filemaker which ihave installed.. how can i get back to acrobat???? help

    I originally had acrobat 7 in my machine when Adobe told me that they won't support it and gave me 8 by a direct download to my pc about 4 months ago.  Great worked fin today i uploaded U Torrent and suddenly all my acrobat files turned into U torrents so i clicked on open with and clicked on acrobat and now the files show filemaker Pro which i do have installed..  I need to get back to acrobat for my bills that i send out .. i am disabled and run a small business from home.. all my invoices are now corrupt can you help  please..

    It sounds like you do not have a backup. You might consider a restore to before you installed the problem program. Can you open Acrobat by going to the Acrobat folder and clicking on Acrobat? If so, go to Help>Repair. After that, try the updates if you are not current. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. There is a chance that the program you downloaded as not a proper version and had a virus.

    You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
    But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

  • Acrobat and Reader Version Issues

    Hi,
    I've created a PDF porffolio made up of several PDFs. When I view the PDF portfolio at the "top level" (where you see names of the individual PDFs on top of a window that looks like it should show the first page of the PDF) all it says in the window is "For the best experience, open this PDF porffolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later. However, I have Acrobat XI and am viewing it in Acrobat XI, so why am I having this issue?
    I can at least open the PDF portfolio and all the PDFs inside. My girlfriend gets the same window when I try sending it to her and can't open the PDF portfolio at all andl she has Acrobat 11.0.3. Why is this happening to her?
    Attached is a screenshot of my issue.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I guess I did. So I guess that's the issue. Thanks!
    Since you seem to know Acrobat and Reader pretty well, I have two other issues I'm dealing with:
    1.) I'd like to create a PDF portfolio of my graphic design work. In the past I've created a PDF portfolio and added other PDFs or jpegs into them with difference pieces of work. However, is it possible to create a portfolio where a multi-page PDF (within the larger portfolio) can be viewed in it's entirety (at the top level of the portfolio) without having to open the file? The idea would be that you would see one page of the portfolio with a piece of work, scroll to the right and see another, then when you get to the multi-page PDF if you kept scrolling right it would just take you through that entire PDF instead of having to open the file. Basically, what I'm trying to avoid is having to create jpegs of individual spreads of an InDesign file so they can be viewed seamlessly in a PDF porfolio instead of being able to drop in a multipage PDF. Let me know if you need clarification on this.
    2.) Finally, when I've tried to re-order files within PDFs, I've occassionally had success renaming the files (ie 1.jpg , 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.pdf, etc) in the "display name" column under the Files tab. I once had success doing an "Initial Sort" for display name but other times it hasn't worked. Is there anyway to make re-order work consistently?
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat and Reader XI freeze 3 secs after opening (force close needed). Win 8.1. Restart usually removes problem, sometimes repair.

    Please help.
    Running Adobe Acrobat and reader XI ( latest versions). PC is Lenovo ThinkPad 440 S. Don't think I've got any plug-ins that are affecting this, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed on PC, and I know this sometimes causes problems with some programs.
    I can uninstall and reinstall either of the programs, and sometimes after a day or a week the problem returns. Restarting the computer will usually cause it to disappear for awhile and then it returns. The freeze is always the same, about three seconds after opening a document, it freezes and I have to close the program and restart the computer if I want the program to work again. I've tried switching off the security settings as suggested a number of websites, and this sometimes seems to help, but the problem nevertheless returns. I've got Acrobat on trial, and would like to buy, but I'm not going to do so and as this problem can be solved.
    I've tried installing the programs multiple times, both clean install and repair and this doesn't stop the problem from happening, and it's happened over the two latest updates to the programme with no success. Out of interest, I've also noticed it doesn't always save my preferences between opening the program (e.g. page view preferences).
    Many thanks for any input,
    Jason Anderson

    Hi Jason,
    I would recommend you to do a selected startup and then enable the programs one by one to isolate which program might be causing this.
    Please refer the KB: Restart Windows in a modified mode | Windows 7, Vista for selective startup of Windows.

  • Before proceeding you must first launch adobe acrobat and accept the end user license agreement

    Our situation is as follows:
    - We have 300 + computers with both Acrobat Pro and Reader installed
    - When Acrobat and Reader are installed, and our users try to open a .pdf file using Internet Explorer, they are prompted to launch Acrobat and accept the EULA
    - If we uninstall Acrobat, Internet Explorer uses Reader to display the pdf.  If it is the first time the user has used Reader on that computer, they are prompted to accept the EULA for Reader, but the EULA is provided, right there.  The user doesn't have to close out of IE, open Acrobat, and then reopen IE.
    - When Acrobat is installed, if we uninstall and reinstall Reader, IE uses Reader to display the pdf
    - If we have uninstall and reinstall Acrobat, or if there is an update, IE uses Acrobat to display the pdf
    Yes, I know that the user can open Acrobat to accept the EULA, but the message still causes confusion for our users.  Always making sure that Reader is installed or updated after Acrobat isn't feasible to do on 300 + computers, nor is uninstalling and reinstalling Reader.
    Is there a way via Group Policy to force IE to use Reader instead of Acrobat?  I've looked at disabling the Adobe Reader addon in IE, but that causes the pdf to be downloaded instead of being displayed in the browser.  It's possible to disable IE addons via Group policy, but I can't pinpoint an Acrobat specific addon for displaying pdfs.
    Has anyone run into this situation before? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi D Sugden,
    There are two ways that you can attempt to do this.
    1.  Use the EULA_ACCEPT property at install time:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/properties.html
    Installation    9.0 & later    EULA_ACCEPT    YES prevents the EULA from appearing the first time the viewer is invoked. For 10.1.4, see the release notes.
    2.  Use APTEE after installation for the applications already installed
    4   Installation Workflows — Enterprise Administration Guide
    adobe_prtk --tool=Type1Exception --accept --serial=<serialNum> --responsecode=responseCode --leid=DriverLEID
    The corresponding EULA registry setting is:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\<version>\AdobeViewer\EULAAcceptedForBrowser.

  • I get a message saying: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement". HELP!!

    Hi i have an iMac with  10.9.3 and when i tried to open a PDF link or a PDF document in Safari 7.0.4  this message appears: "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement".  What can i do to solve this?

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in the preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
