Acrobat Pro 9 not recognized by Safari

When I could not view a PDF file in Safari, I trashed the Safari preferences, restarted Safari, and pointed it to a PDF file that would typically launch Acrobat to present the PDF file. Safari asks me to specify the Acrobat application that will be used as the PDF viewer. Safari tolerates my choice of Acrobat Professional 8, which is still on my computer after having installed CS4, but the selection of Acrobat Pro 9 can't be made because it is dimmed.
Does this mean that I must keep Acrobat 8 around indefinitely, or is there another way to select Acrobat Pro 9 as Safari's chosen PDF viewer?

Open Acrobat 9 go to help go to repair and replace and see if there is an item for Safari Plugin if so choose to install.
If you use the Plugin from Schubert for PDF. remove that from your internet plugins Folder from within main Libarary folder or within the Internet Plugins folder in libary folder in your User Profile folder. If you have both plugins remove the adobe PDF plugin.
Then restart Safari. THe Schubert Plugin works with Safari, but also with Mozilla, Opera, OmniWeb and others while the adobe one only works with Safari only. When using OS9 the Pdf Plugin for Acrobat worked with any browser even Mac's version of Internet Explorer.
Why Adobe want to go backwards and support only one browser, when Safari has but just a very small following, I'll never know.

Acrobat 9 Pro not recognizing mapped drives

I have a workstation in an enterprise environment that is having issues opening files from a network drive. When the user tries to open the file directly from the network drive, Acrobat 9 Pro pops up a message that the file doesn't exist. If we run Acrobat Pro, and try to open a file, the only drives listed are the local drives. The workstations are running Windows 7 Pro. Other users running Acrobat 9 Pro on our network are not having the same issues. I have seen previous posts by people experiencing the same problem. Has anyone come up with a fix?

Hi gk_shttrbg,
Acrobat 9 is way too old to be eligible for any bug fixes. Please check the performance in A11 and see if you still face issues.
You might want to upgrade to A11 as currently A9 has reached end of life.

Acrobat Pro Not Working after Latest Update to Snow Leopard

After getting the latest update for Snow Leopard I get the following when Acrobat tries to boot:

There is more after this but the summary is that it doesn't boot. Is anyone having this problem also? And if so how did you fix it.? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat but with no success.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. However how can you upgrade when the program won't boot? I tried downloading again from Adobe but the version that comes over is 9.0. Is there anyway to force a load? Or anyway for Adobe to push me 9.3.1?
Regards,
David
First try removing preference and or .plist files for Acrobat. Then when you get working try this tip below that might help when you update the application and it fails.
I've come across this in these forums That may or may not solve the update issue for "some" people:

Mac Pro not recognizing bootable DVDs and Disk Utility giving odd results.

My issue is complex, but I'll try my best to explain it as I can.
One has been resolved it seems, but I am including it so that the whole issue can be seen in context.
Friday, May 16, 2014
Last night, after rebooting my Mac Pro from my Bootcamp partition (I'm using Windows 7 Professional if that information is helpful) I received a kernel panic upon Mac OS X booting (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
My first action was to launch Disk Utility to verify the Mac HD, verify was stopped by disk utility citing that I should insert my Mac OS X install DVD and repair the disk.
I tried booting from my Snow Leopard install DVD. After the grey Apple logo appeared with the gear spinning below it remained for roughly ten to fifteen seconds (a little long) — then the Apple logo changed to. A grey prohibitory sign (circle with a diagonal line through it, the spinning gear remained. — I tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD a few time, same result.
Following this I tried booting using Disk Warrior, same result again.
I tried booting both the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs in both my upper and lower optical drives, with no change.
I decided to leave the issue and call Apple Support in the morning
Saturday, May 17, 2014
This morning I woke my Mac Pro from sleep, opened Disk Utility and tried verifying the hard drive to see if it was temporary — same result, 'please insert the Mac OS X install DVD and repair the drive.' — I also tried booting the install DVD again with no result.
I then booted my Mac into Safe Mode to check my hardware.
Upon opening Disk Utility and verifying my Mac HD — the result "Macintosh HD appears to be OK", rand the test again to see if this was an anomaly, but disk returned another pass.
I performed a normal restart of my system, although Finder was a little slower to load than normal, the system booted correctly. — I then launched Disk Utility and verified the Mac HD, it returned another pass.
This confused me, after a call to Apple Support the tech explained that 'sometime a Safe Mode boot will fix problems because it disables all non-essential processes when booting. — That makes sense to me.
However.
The issue of my Mac not recognizing bootable DVDs remains — it reads disks correctly, it just will not boot them.
Other steps I have taken to try and resolve this remaining issue.
1. a PRAM reset. — No change.
2. an SMC reset. — No change.
3. Removal of newly installed RAM. — I have tried both running the old and new RAM separately, no change using either combination.
4. Running bootable DVDs in different optical bays. — No change from both bays.
a. My upper drive is an MCE Blu-Ray/DVD combo drive, but I have booted from this drive before. (Less than six months old.)
b. My lower drive is LG DVD-RAM combo drive, I have also booted from this drive before. (Over one year old, replacement for an Apple optical drive.)
None of the above steps have helped, I still cannot boot from my optical drives — I always receive a prohibitory sign shortly after the Apple logo.
Other system information:
Mac OS X 10.6.8
8GB of RAM (4 x 2GB)
500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD (less than a year old, boot drive for Mac OS X 10.6.8)
1TB Samsung HDD (for data storage and also containing Bootcamp partition)
2TB HDD (cannot remember manufacturer, contains Time Machine backups, as well as data storage)
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of VRAM
Sorry for the long post but I really need to be able to boot from my optical drives.

Update: found an old Mountain Lion installation USB flash drive I created a while back.
I am able to boot from the ML USB flash drive, but am still unable to boot from my either my Snow Leopard Install DVD or my Disk Warrior DVD. — I have verified both DVD and they pass verification tests.
This leads me to believe that the problem resides either in the Mac, or in BOTH the Snow Leopard and Disk Warrior DVDs.
Since I am able to boot from a USB drive, I will look into the possibility of creating a bootable Snow Leopard drive, and perhaps also a Disk Warrior drive — at least until I can resolve the 'not able to boot from DVD' issue.

Acrobat Pro not working in Office Word 2003

Hi!
Im having troubles with my Acrobat Pro 9.0 in office 2003.
The Acroat plugins in word are not working, the "acrobat-PDF" button is not working at all, when i select or press something in the dropdown menu nothing happens. the workaround on saving my files is to go to File > print as a PDF document.
After i finish typing my document and add a few links to webpages and "mailto" links and save/print it to a PDF file, some of the links work and other dont.
So does anyone know how i can get all my links to work? or even be able to use the "acrobat plugin/buttons" in the word program?
The guy on suport phone told me its a setting problem that needs to be adjusted.
TY in advance / Nkla

Nikola,
Have you checked the properties of the Adobe PDF printer in your Printers and Faxes menu? You may need to make some changes regarding the settings here.

Bought and paid for CS4 Premium, Acrobat Pro not accepting serial #

My Acrobat Pro application, part of the CS4 Design Premium, will not accept the same serial I used for my other Adobe applications.
Any solutions beyond tossing two hours of my life in a phone call to Adobe India Customer Service? I have had one good experience using Adobe CS out of five, but really it takes hours to get someone who is helpful. Adobe needs to address this brutal customer in need situation.
Apple buys Adobe, everything is fixed.
Solutions? Beyond waiting for Jobs to mount a take over?

I should add, I did install the complete CS4 Design Premium package in mid November 09. Worked flawlessly, until yesterday that is.
After some hours on the phone with Adobe customer service in India, finally the serial question was solved for all applications BUT Acrobat Pro. The tech said the serial number issue was caused by unknown forces. Odd, Adobe has a special number for serials not being accepted. It is a 1-800 number, I used it. I believe it is an Adobe made issue to keep pirated software out of the loop.
The tech said he would call me back in thirty minutes to confirm all applications were in perfect working order. I played with the entire group and AP was the dog of the bunch.
The tech never called back to check on me. That was nearly 24 hours ago. I anticipated this would be the poor result from Adobe.
I suspect I will need to devote another hour or so in Adobe Hell India Zone for a fix. The customer service is something which turns me off all Adobe products. When I find replacements for the software I will jump at the chance.

Thanks to Mandeep5062 Acrobat Pro download issue with Safari

Before your response arrived I shut down Safari, loaded Firefox, went directly to the Adobe download page and attempted a download. The download started correctly and then switched over to the Creative Cloud downloader and I thought, "Here we go again". However, the process completed and installed the Acrobat Pro software as advertised. This might be a work around others can use that are having issues with Safari.

Win 7 either comes with a virtural XP machine installed, or it's freelly availible. I forget which, but this may be a simple solution to your issue.
Here's a link that might help:

Early 2009 mac pro not recognizing DVD drives

My Mac Pro 8 core since upgrading to Mavericks is not recognizing my Blu Ray drive unless I unplug it and re plug it in while hot.....what is this issue?

I think I have a similar sitch. I just bought a rMPB 15 with Mavericks and hooked it up to the same setup of my old 2009 17" MPB. I inserted the Logic Pro 9 install disk in my external LaCie DVD RW drive and the light on the front keeps flashing steadily as if the disk is being read but it never mounts on the desktop. I ejected the disk and installed the Logic Studio Audio Content 1 disk and it mounted fine. I inserted the Logic Pro 9 install disk into the drive on the old 17" and it mounted fine there as well. So I am at a loss as to what the glitch is and I can't be sure if its the DVD RW drive, the rMPB itself, Mavericks, or both or neither or....????

Why is Acrobat DC not recognizing my scanner after upgrade from Acrobat CC?

Two days ago I upgraded from Acrobat CC to Acrobat DC on my iMac (OS X 10.10.3). This seems to have rendered my Canon MP980 scanner inoperable. I get a message that the scanner driver(s) are not found. I did not delete any Canon drivers, only performed an Adobe suggested upgrade.
I see several others have experienced the same. One place I found a suggested workaround, but for me not an acceptable solution, is found in this KB article:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-does-not-support-twain-drivers-on-mac.html
I tried to use Mac App store Updates but it is not finding any for the scanner, as suggested in the above article.
The Cannon is on a local network (Ethernet). My Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.3) is still running Acrobat CC without any problem using the scanner.
A real solution would be appreciated.

toreddie

Hi Anubha,
Thanks for your help.
In Finder ...... > Twain Data Sources I found two files, "Canon MP980 series Network.ds" (1.9Mb) and "Canon MP980 series.ds" (2Mb). Next to Kind for both it says "Application". I don´t see the word "Package" or "PowerPC" or "Universal". However, under Where, it says "Macintosh HD>Library>Image Capture>TWAIN Data Source. This is also the same information I find on my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.10.3), but still running Acrobat CC (not upgraded yet, thankfully). I can still scan using my MBP.
I was able to scan using Image Capture.
I did not have time to go through the procedure of logging in as root user.
Frankly, this seems way to complicated. There has to be an easier fix to the problem.
I also checked Canon´s website for updated driver files, but there are none for Yosemite.

Macbook Pro not recognizing Windows 7 RC 32-bit disk

I'm trying to install Windows 7 RC on my Macbook Pro but it's not recognizing the disk. Does anyone know why this is?

ucbound,
I replied in my post to your same question as well.
Are you using Boot Camp Assistant to set-up for a clean install of Windows 7 RC:
Start Boot Camp > Create Windows partition > insert Windows DVD > click 'Continue' after DVD icon shows on desktop?
Or are you receiving the error message after clicking 'Continue' in Boot Camp Assistant?
Others here are more experienced with the MacBook series so hopefully they will chime in at some point if it is an in-depth issue / resolution here.

Why Adobe Acrobat is not recognizing text on black backgrounds

I was surprised when I first discovered this. I thought Adobe was supposed to have the best OCR software in in the world, I tested in on few backgrounds, white text on black background - not working, yellow text on black background - not working..
I was disappointed, I had to use onlineocr, which did better job than Adobe Acrobat, it discovered all kinds of texts, bold fonts, text on multi-colored background - things that Acrobat OCR couldn't recognize..

Why is an authorized MacBk Pro not recognized in iTunes?

I'm using a MacBk Pro that iTunes says is authorized, but it is not showing up in my devices. It would be the 4th one as I just reauthorized the iPod because I thought that would help, but it didn't. THe other recognized and showing up in devices are iPad, iPhone and an Mac desktop.
I'm not sure which community to post to, MacBk Pro? iTunes? Cloud? I feel like such a dolt not being able to figure this out, but I've looked at all I know to look for.
I've had unfortunate lucky lately in the communities as I've asked a couple of questions in the past week or so and not gotten any response or suggestions. Am I not providing enough information to get support?
The MacBk Pro is OS X 10.8.5
iTunes is: 11.4
Thanks for any help or direction or recommendations, as in where should I go for support?
ct

Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Uninstall/Reinstall of Acrobat Pro not working

Acrobat Pro was malfunctioning. Every time I tried to search the file, it would crash. So I uninstalled it then tried to reinstall it, but Adobe Manager says it's up to date. I can't download and can't reinstall.

Sunday I uninstalled the program (I’m on the cloud) but couldn’t reinstall it. The launchpad said it was up to date, even though it was not on my system. So I downloaded and installed the 30-day trial version.
I had the exact same issues with the trial, so my technician figured it must be the preferences. He threw out all the old ones and the program worked flawlessly for 30 minutes. Then it would crash when I changed views by clicking and dragging. And about 15 minutes after that, it started crashing again when I tried to search. It also reverts to old preferences in the tools.
That may help you figure something out. I’m going to start over with troubleshooting again today.

MacBook Pro not recognizing new printers

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my new wireless Epson printer. When I click "Add printer," no printers show in the list to add. I have tried connecting it with the ethernet cord as well, but it still doesn't show up. My dad's computer added the printer just fine, which is also a Mac. My computer also isn't recognizing my husband's printer or my dad's printer at his house. When I first bought the computer a few years ago (maybe 2 years??), I connected my current printer just fine and it still works. However, I need a new printer, and now it doesn't seem to recognize any other printer besides the old one I have always had. I have tried updating my computer, but it says that it is up to date. Help!

Lindsay518,
what said that it couldn’t be opened? Is the file completely downloaded? (If so, it should be 1,190,445,549 bytes long; you can Get Info on the file to confirm its length.)
Note that EPSON also has drivers available for your combination of printer and operating system version on their Web site. More importantly, they also have a firmware update available for the WF-2540.
