Acrobat 9.1.1/9.1.2 w/ CS4 Install (Acrobat hangs)

We had CS3 installed with Acrobat 8.x installed, we are upgrading to CS4 with Acrobat 9.1.1/9.1.2. However we are ONLY having this issue on Laptops (MacBookPro's).
Using the same install for MacPro's and iMac's every single application works fine. However on our MacBook Pro's Acrobat will hang and you will get the spinning beach ball. Requring a Force quit to get out of Acrobat 9. I am guessing at this point it has to do with the user profile (as they are Mobile accounts - cached local home accounts) as that is the major difference. On our desktop models they are using local homes but require AD authenication to log in. However, the local admin account on the desktops also works fine.
I did on one laptop go through and delete all the files folders that dealt with Adobe in /Library/, /private/var/, /usr/, /~/Library/ and all other locations. I then repushed CS3 ran the same scripts to remove CS3 an push CS4 and then Acrobat worked...
~ = user's home folder

I have Acrobat 9.1.1 installed on 10.5.7 Macbook Pro Intel Penryn, 2.4 Ghz. CS4 Master Collection. Have always used the auto update and never any problems until today.
Tried the update to 9.1.2 this morning. It doesn't hang, but it fails because it claims that I modified the installation. Problem is that I have not.

Acrobat hangs while creating merged PDF in acrobat 9.0

Hello, We are facing issue with Acrobat 9.0 while combining MS office docs with PDF ( option of Merge files into single pdf). Whenever we combine word or excel docs with pdf, Acrobat hangs. Acrobat has to be terminated to clear the session.
The option of combine files was working fine in our environment. ( combining office files into PDF )
Would appreciate any sort help with this issue.
Thank you

I think this is related to this other problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/567165?tstart=-1 . This has appeared with current releases of Acrobat, Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Adobe seems unresponsive. We started seeing it this week in conjunction with Excelsius 4.5. I have both Acrobat Pro 9.3 and Acrobat Reader 8 on my PC. Pro blows up when I open the .pdf created by Excelsius, but Reader does fine.

After installing Firefox Synch. Adobe Acrobat hangs. Remove and is okay. Reinstall, Acrobat hangs. Any suggestions?

I installed Firefox Synch on two Macintoshes, an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both running Lion OS. Running Firefox 7.0.1 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.6. Synching works fine, but on the MacBook Pro, now Acrobat hangs doing simple chores. Okay again if I remove Synch and problem returns if I re-activate the iMac Firefox Synch. Have restarted and run disk permissions repair. Any suggestions?

Did you install the Firefox Sync extension? <br />

Not needed on a Firefox 4+ version, it is a built-in feature.

Unable to install Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 after CS4 install

I have no idea why this could be, but I have recently installed Adobe CS4 Web Standard without Dreamweaver, then Dreamweaver CS5 edition on a clean install and as I was about to install Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 from an installation CD I got this message:
"Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate.
Thing is... I never installed Adobe Acrobat on this machine after the rebuilt, and I can't see it in the listing of my installed programs, so why do I get this message?
I would like to know, what can I do that Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 continues with the install.
Are there applications in CS4 that send this false alarm of Acrobat already being on the machine?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at the add/remove programs list to be sure there is no part of Acrobat there? You might use a registry cleaner (MS or CC typically) to clean out any related issues for Acrobat. I agree with you conclusion if AA has never been installed, but CS4 may have been the culprit in the installation process.

Acrobat Hangs Creating PDF from Word Doc - Possible Solution

For the last several months, I had been working on converting a 20MB Word document into a PDF. The Word doc has external hyperlinks as well as many internal hyperlinks. It also has many sections and uses the TOC generator. I found that when I converted it to a PDF, whether I was using PDF Maker in Word or directly in Acrobat, the process would hang. In Acrobat it would hang either at 5% or 10%. In Word, the hang would occur before it processed the bookmarks.
I believe I found the solution. When using PDF Maker, you are prompted about SmartTagging the document and how it can be time consuming. I always selected "No". Apparently, even with selecting "No", just having this prompt appear is part of the problem. When I went into the settings for PDF Maker and turned off SmartTagging there, so that when creating the PDF you are not prompted, the PDF creation is successful everytime.
It took me many months of aggravation before I discovered this fix. I can replicate the issue everytime I let it prompt me about SmartTagging, so there is definitely some quirk going on there.
HTH,

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem, pdf maker hangs while "converting codes", this happens once in a while, i'm doing a .net batch conversion of about 2000 documents. (MS Word 2003 acro prof 7)
Can you tell me where in the settings i find samrt tagging
(i'm am using only a fixed set of headings to create tags)

Adobe Acrobat hangs when opening PDFs even after reinstall

Hello,
I have 2 new Dell systems that are having issues with Adobe Acrobat. When opening PDFs, either from an email attachement or file from our server, there is a brief hang that lasts 10-15 seconds, during which Acrobat is unresponsive however the workstation continues to respond. I've since uninstalled/reinstalled, still no luck. I've also run updates. Problem unresolved.
Any ideas

One of our users is having a similar issue with Adobe Reader 9.2 hanging. Adobe Reader will eventually open after about 5 seconds. I've found a work around where if I leave a .pdf document open, any other .pdf I click will open up fine (but a .pdf needs to be left open in Adobe Reader). This is happening only with one user. Some of the things I've tried that have not worked: repairing, uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting temp files, opening the file with a different account/profile, downgrading to Adobe Reader 8.1.3. Anyone have any ideas? This is only happening to one user at my company. I've searched the forums here and it looks like other people are having similar issues but there's really not a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

How to update Acrobat 9 to current version during CS4 install

HI All:
I have a corporate wide deployment of Creative Suite 4 and Acrobat 9 Professional. Due to the security vulnerabilities of Acrobat Professional, we need to update Acrobat 9 to version 9.4 during the deployment.
For Acrobat Pro 9 the procedure is to edit the setup.ini to include the patches you want to install. see the following technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/507/cpsid_50757.html
Basically update the setup.ini file
[Product]
msi=AcroPro.msi
Languages=1033;1031;1036
1033=English (United States)
1031=German (Germany)
1036=French (France)
PATCH=AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd913_all_incr.msp ;AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd932_all_incr.msp;AcrobatU pd933_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd940_all_incr.msp
I need to do the same thing with the CS4/Acrobat 9 install but there is no setup.ini file for this install. I checked the setup.xml but can not find a way to do this.
Does anyone have any information on how to do this?
thank you,

I have found that I can update CS4 Acrobat to the current version using a batch file.
I have created the batch file calling Acrobat *.msp files and there was no other commands needed to run MSIEXEC. I have tested it and it runs and starts the installer.
Contents of batch file:
@ECHO OFF

Acrobat Hangs With Vista

Right now running Vista Business Premium (fully updated) and acrobat standard (8.1.1). We have some forms which we fill out then save as pdf's to print when needed. 99% of the time, when selecting addresses [from a drop down in the from] or a date acrobat just "hangs" and we have to do a manual shutdown (press and hold the power button) as the entire computer just hangs up and refuses to respond (even after letting it sit for a while)
I have no idea how to diagnose this problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a problem with Acrobat Pro in Vista hanging for 30-90 seconds then working OK for a while, then hanging repeatedly for 30-90 seconds. I have noticed that the error log in the roaming\adobe\acrobat\8.0 logging an error as follows when this happens:
080216 13:34:25 [Warning] Can't open and lock time zone table: Table 'mysql.time_zone_leap_second' doesn't exist trying to live without them
080216 13:34:25 [ERROR] mysql_embedded: Can't find file: 'files.MYI' (errno: 2)
080216 13:34:25 [ERROR] mysql_embedded: Can't find file: 'files.MYI' (errno: 2) . . .
Any ideas how to get this to stop?

Acrobat hangs when sharing via email. Why?

I just installed the entire CC suite, including Acrobat 11 (or XI for you 1st century Romans out there). I was somewhat puzzled to see that when I select share by email the PDF still hangs with the spinning beach ball as it has for the two previous versions if not more. Is this a problem with Acrobat, MS Outlook or my particular set-up? It's hard to believe it would be with Acrobat because it has been a problem for at least the last three versions.
Thanks for any help,
Mike

So I'm the only person having this problem or am I the only person sending PDFs via email?

What's the proper way to remove CS3 after CS4 install without screwing up Acrobat?

During CS4 installation, I had some serial number issues with Acrobat. It turns out that even though Acrobat is part of the creative suite, the licensing for it is different. I've got all of that sorted out now and CS4 is successfully installed. Now I need to remove CS3, but I don't want to remove any shared components that would disable or affect Acrobat.
Should I just remove the CS3 folders in my Applications folder or should I use the CS3 Uninstaller?

I can't run any of the CS3 apps because of the Acrobat licensing issue that I mentioned earlier. Therefore, they're just taking up hard drive space now. I also have a suspicion that CS4 and CS3 might be sharing resources? Can't quantify that but quitting CS4 apps takes forever and shutting down the machine after quitting CS4 apps takes even longer.

Font loading when starting Acrobat - Acrobat hangs

I have the problem of a kind of "hang-up" of Acrobat 9 when opening a file. Actually this problem started with Acrobat 6 or 5 I think and I have not found a solution or a reason why. Also I did stopped searching for solutions some time ago and tried to live with this feature of Acrobat.
Today I started searching again and found this here:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc3a7f1/22
I investigated some time in verifying that the font loading is causing my problem.
This is what happens:
- Acrobat is not running. I open a PDF file. Acrobat starts, the file is opening after a few seconds, fast enough. After 10 seconds or so the application hangs and does not react. A second tab is opening and when you look into the task manager you see that csrss.exe is running with 50% CPU usage on top of Acrobat with the remaining 50%. After - it seems a long time, like leaning back and having a cup of coffee - the system comes back an one can work with the PDF file just like normal.
- When you just close the file and not Acrobat as such and open a new file, the hang-up does not occur.
- Only when you close Acrobat and open a new file it happens again.
My work-around after knowing this - after a few years of searching - is to to start Acrobat on booting the PC by putting the application into autostart and never close it during the day.
I can not uninstall fonts. I need them all.
Now the question: Is there anything new on this subject? Is there a way to disable font loading when starting Acrobat?
I have tried some of the speed-up tools, that disable some plug-ins. They do not help.
Thanks for some feedback and may be a better solution than mine.
(If only Acrobat would load the fonts first, tell me it is loading the fonts and how long this takes, and then open the file I need to read - this would be nice ... )

I use XP Pro and have the same problem on other computers with XP Pro.
For the fun of it I un-installed Acrobat 9 and re-installed and - surprise surprise. No hang-up. Just perfect.
I started and closed Acrobat several times and every time I think the hang-up, that used to be a minute and more before re-installing - is a little longer. At least it feels like.
I remember I had the same observation when I upgraded to Acrobat 9. But a few days later the hang-up was there again.
I will observe ... and keep you updated.
I am using type 1 and true type fonts and Adobe Type manager to manage ma many fonts.
On page display I have "use local fonts" checked. I don't see a difference, when I un-check.
Ideas to solve the issue are aprreciated

Adobe Reader/Acrobat hangs if single apostrophe is used incorrectly in format picture value statemen

I am using the following Adobe Software and versions:
Also, see the attached test file.
If you try to open this file in Adobe Acrobat/Reader, it will hang.
But, if you change the script on the text field on the form ready event, to be as follows:
var theDftValue =
'This sub-section will provide rational for country and sector'+
"Support and relevance of the Bank''s intervention-in-line with Country "+
"and sector analysis and major conclusions drawn in the above sections"
this.format.picture.value = "null{'" + theDftValue + "'}";
Then it will work as expected.
It took me several hours to find the source of the problem, so I am reporting hopefully it will be taken care of such in a future update.

Acrobat hangs when trying to add watermark

Just discovered the watermark function of Acrobat Pro today as I needed to add watermarks to several documents. However, as soon as I start to add text or manipulate the options in any way, the program hangs and takes a long time to catch up. Eventually, the program hangs until I force close it. This happens the same for single page and multiple page documents. Working with 24"x36" pages, from 250KB to 2MB. My PC seems to be in good working condition with no background activity. Any suggestions?
Windows 8.1 Pro
Acrobat XI Pro

Acrobat hangs when 'printing page 1'

This is a sudden thing - it was working fine and then suddenly it wasn't! I am creating a pdf from multiple files - I can collect them all up in the box and then click to start the process, it goes through some of the motions and then hangs for no apparent reason. I do not have any of the documents open, they are not password protected and they are not protected from editing.
I have recently had a recent RAM upgrade but I have performed this operation on a different file since. I have tried repairing Acrobat from the CD and also using the detect and repair tool but nothing works.
Can anyone shed any light?

Problem solved. Does only happen with the Internet Explorer 32bit.
With Internet Explorer 64bit it doesn't happen.

Acrobat hang when window mode switching

After using Acrobat X for a bit viewing and/or editing a PDF it will lock up upon trying to switch to and from full screen.

Thanks for the reply. I think the issue is just confined to Mac machines + Adobe products (this issue doesn't occur when I switch from Word Preview 2016, or Office 2011). I can confirm this issue occurs on more than one Mac as well.
Here is a slightly larger GIF if the first was too hard to make out
https://i.imgur.com/CNKnkC0.gif
It's almost as if the text manipulation / selection from InDesign is carrying over to the Acrobat window, interrupting the normal focus it should get on first click...
Edit: It just occurred with Spotify - Switched from Spotify to Acrobat, with a scanned image PDF. The rectangular selection tool tries to grab a region of the image several times before focus returns to the Acrobat window. It also just happened after manipulating images and text in Word 2016 Preview and Word 2011.
