Acrobat PDF Maker doesn't work after installing UPDATES(!) to Adobe Creative Suite 3 (on Windows 7)

Hi,
I installed Adobe Creative suite 3 Premium on Widows Vista....then upgraded to Windows 7,...never had any problems.
Today Adobe Update Advisor downloaded and installed some updates to Adobe Professional 8 (that came in a package with Adobe CS3 premium)....since then (it has been 3-4 hours), I cannot convert any document into PDF using ANY application MS Office 2007, as a Printer in browser...etc..
The error message says:
"Missing PDF Maker Files.
Do you want to run installer in repair mode?"
I clicked on Yes, then waited, then restarted my PC, and that didn't solve the problem"
Adobe Support (a very unfriendly guy) told me that AdobeProfessional 8 support for Windows 7 is not available and that I can either upgrade to Adobe 9 (no way, I paid way too much money for Adobe CS3), refer to Adobe Forum, or reinstall Adobe CS3.
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem without reinstalling the whole CS3?
Thanks .

Why did you “upgrade” to Windows 7?
Shouldn't have Microsoft given you free updates to Windows XP or Windows Vista to give you all the fixes that appeared in Windows 7?
Do you expect an automobile manufacturer to retrofit at no cost to you your two year old vehicle with the latest doodads associated with the latest in consumer electronics, automated toll taking, and GPS?
Accounting rules in the United States associated with something called “revenue recognition” limit what companies can do to retrofit products with new features after they are released/sold. Supporting significant differences and/or features in a new operating system version or for that matter incompatibilities and features in another application (such as new versions of Office) require significant modifications to accounting practices to hold reserves to account for the possibility of such updates. Furthermore, ignoring these accounting and finance ramifications, keeping an extra set of engineers working to retrofit old software versions would significantly increase Adobe's costs and hence the price charged for this software.
Be aware that except for custom software with ongoing maintenance and/or retainer contracts, typical commercial software is licensed for use with the equipment and software environment that it was originally designed for and that fact is already built into the cost and pricing structures. The pricing of upgrades to new software versions reflects the cost of providing support for newer equipment and software environments as well as any new features.

Re: Portege R500: Contros button doesn't work after installing update

After installing the most recent version of Toshiba's Value Added Package, the two buttons (toshiba assist and backlight on/off) do not work properly: they open instead a firefox browser window.
I assume there is something to configure in the "optimisation" section of Toshiba Assist.
When I open the program "Toshiba buttons functions" (sorry for the puny translation, in Spanish it's called: "Funciones de botones de Toshiba") all the entries are blank and I have to indicate the Url of the program supposed turning off my LCD's backlight...
I have no clue where to find this executable.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks for the response.
I hope I don't have to use such an extreme solution. Mainly because I *really* don't have time for restoring an OS. Furthermore, if I have to restore everything every time I update the computer: what is the point of updating?
There must be a more subtle solution... don't you think?

My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
where can I find this

If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

Help please...Acrobat 8 Pro won't work, after install from CS3 package

Hi, I have just joined a new company, that had a CD of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard, including Acrobat Pro. I have installed all software from disk. However, when I open PDF, the document appears, but I can't do anything with it. The system just freezes & eventually I have to close it down? Phoned Adobe who say its not supported now? Anybody else with a similar problem or advice on how to resolve it please?
Thanks Simon.

Did you only install Acrobat? If so you will need to install another program from CS3 (like photoshop) and open it and register the product. Acrobat by itself cannot do it. If you installed the suite then just open Photoshop and register and it will work.

Why Mac Help doesn't work after installing Leopard?

After installing Leopard Mac Help shows a untitled window and after few seconds it disappear.

Actually no. I'm working on the same environment before installing Leopard. No firewall...but I'm working from China where a massive Great Firewall is controlled by the government. That case I shouldn't be the only one.

My Ipod touch email stopped working after installing Update

my Ipod touch email stopped working after installing the latest firmware update from Apple what should I do?

Hi, jewlssch.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Mail application will not launch, I would recommend processing any available updates on your Mac Pro and test launching Mail. If the issue persists, process a reinstall of Mavericks.
Reinstall OS X

Make sure to backup all of your data prior to reinstalling OS X 10.9.

Treo 700W blue tooth w/daimler Chrysler uconnect not working after installing updater.

Anyone having problems with their 700W blue tooth working after installing the updater? My Jeep Grand Cherokee's blue tooth uconnect system was working flawlessly until I installed the updater. Now it will not work. I've went through all of the procedures several times. The phone will discover the uconnect but when you put in the 4 digit pass code that you have given to the vehicle it will not connect thought the secure connection. I have called Verizon and Daimler Chrysler and they both do not know why it will not work. I have reset the uconnect system on the vehicle per their instructions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I'm having the exact same problem - Treo 700W (verizon), Dodge UConnect circa 2005 (Grand Caravan [tough to admit, but yes a mini-van]), running Win XP, Active Sync 4.2, USB connect with the Treo.
Had perfect connectivity until running the most recent update, now the Treo will initially recognize UConnect when attempting to pair the phone, but after supplying the 4-digit passcode, it won't connect. It tells me the "passcode is incorrect...". I'm 100% sure the passcode in correct. I've tried deleting the phone from the UConnect multiple times and tried several different combinations of passcodes (0000, 1234, 1111, 2222, and many others) and all have the same result.
I've also successfully paired the Treo with other bluetooth devices, so it appears this is a UConnect - Treo problem.

After effects cs4 won't install with the Adobe Creative Suite 4

yesterday I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, i let it download through out the night and the next day i installed it and noticed that it came every single application except after effects cs4. there is no folder or icon for it, but everything else works. im in the process of uninstalling it and re-installing it, but i doubt it will help. i downloaded the after effects cs4 trail months ago, then deleted it. i don't think that's the problem though.I called adobe and was on hold for literally two hours, and when i was able to talk to someone they were not really able to help much.
im on a macbook, version 10.5.8
2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo
2 gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
EDIT: i installed it again, looked at the install options more closely and realesed that it does come with it, it just wont let me install it or check it to be installed, because it says its already installed. i checked all over my hard drive for it and its not there. i really need some help.
any help would be appreciated, thanks.
also if I waited and got after effects cs5 do you think it would actually work, and would i be able to get the student discount again?

We cannot know. We need exact system info. As a start, you might consider turning off UAC completely and running as admin...

After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6, screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

Internal Microphone doesn't work (after installing Boot Camp 3.1)

I have installed Boot Camp 3.1, and after this installation, my internal mic doesn't work (ONLY IN WINDOWS XP).
I tried to fix the problem with several manners (hardware test in CONTROL PANEL / SOUND .../ VOICE TAB / VOICE RECORDING; reinstalling drivers and hardware etc), but I can't get success (for example, the test results: SORRY, NO SOUND IN MIC...).
On the other hand, when I boot as Mac (Snow Leopard), I can use the mic (in skype, for example), without problem.
I note that ear plug (connector in the back of the iMac) doesn't work too.
Somebody can help me in this case ?
Regards

i got a macbook pro, 2 weeks ago, the 2.53Ghz unibody aluminium, the desing of this mac is great even tough the system specs are really low for the price actually, im happy with it(the hardware)...
The only reason i got this is cause apple claims to support windows, i like Mac OS, but i work on windows i need it... if theres no windows capability in mac i wouldnt ever buy one, so this issue is really bothering me A LOT. my impresions about apple are changing after seing this topic filled with questions and not a single moderator answer, go and check a logitech forum and see how they take care about user problems.
