Acrobat v6 Pro and Reader 9 are fighting

My Contact
nha khoa
So one of my users is in a different state, so I can not get my hands on his laptop. But his issue is as follows.
Using IE 7, whenever he opens a PDF it opens Acrobat v6 Pro, but gives an error saying it needs Acrobat v8 or 9. He has v9 Reader loaded, but IE will not use it. In FF we told it to open the PDF extension with Acrobat Reader 9, and this has solved the issue there.
FYI, opening a PDF directly from his computer uses v9 reader.
What have I done so far?
1) Had him change the Windows Default Application to open PDF's with v9.0 Reader. - This did not work
2) Had him change the default to v6 Pro then back to v9 Reader (maybe it just needed a reset) - still no good.
3) he had installed 9 reader then 6 Pro, I had him uninstall and then reinstall v9 --- issue not resolved.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The reason that your user gets odd behavior is because Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 use different files to open the PDF within the Internet Explorer web browser. Acrobat 6 uses an ActiveX control name "PDF.ocx". Reader 9 uses a DLL called "AcroPDF.dll". When you have both applications installed, which I believe is against Adobe's recommendations, there is a conflict and hence the error message.
On the other hand, FireFox uses the old Netscape plug-in "nppdf32.dll" so there is no co-relation in the web browser preference setting for FireFox.

  • I have Acrobat 9 Pro and read I can upgrade to XI pro for $199.00. How do I do that?

    How do I purchase and download Adobe Acrobat XI update. I have 9 now.

    Sorry about the problems. It has been an issue that several MVP folks have addressed to Adobe and the solution we had seems to even have been removed. Yet we keep being told that both the full version and upgrades are available. All I can suggest it to contact Adobe directly since they keep saying both are available and even the upgrades are listed under Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but no link is provided any place that I can find for the upgrade. I have submitted comments and can only hope the order issue will be fixed.

  • Can I run Adobe Acrobat 6 pro and Reader X

    I continue to use Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional for its ability to combine documents, and insert and delete pages in PDFs.  If I download and install Adobe Reader X, will it overwrite Acrobat 6 Pro, rendering it useless?  I realize that 6 Pro if very old, but has all the functionality I need to create pdfs.  I am only interested in upgrading the reader portion because I occasionally receive files created in later versions and would like to view them with all their newer functions.
    Thanks!

    Might work; might not.  Legacy apps (CS2, 3, 4) that weren't built to run on modern operating systems may have trouble with Mavericks.   I think you'll be OK with CS5, 6 and CC.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro and Reader 9

    I have Master Collection 3.3 including Acrobat 9 Pro. Also installed on my computer is Acrobat 9 Reader.
    I am getting conflicting advice about what I should or should not uninstal from my computer?
    Should I keep or uninstall 9 reader?
    Also the same question about flash?
    Hope someone can bring calm to my confusion.
    Thanks

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader fighting for Safari frameworks folder...

    We manage hundreds of Macs of which most are at 10.4.8.
    We have both Acrobat Pro and Reader 7.0.8 installed on all Macs.
    Sometime within the last few weeks something has changed on our systems (eg: upgrading from something under 10.4.8 to 10.4.8) that is causing Acrobat Pro and Reader to fight for the Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/ folder. This folder contains aliases to either Pro or Reader frameworks within that Acrobat app's own frameworks folder (...Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Frameworks/)
    This issue is that the end user is prompted to authenticate for either Reader or Pro to "repair itself" which it is just changing the aliases within the Safari Frameworks folder to point to their own frameworks.
    If I set Preview as the default pdf viewer and then delete Acrobat Reader so that only Preview and Acrobat Pro are on the client, then it seems to work beautifully without authentication request. We would like to keep Reader on the systems though. We use Sassafras' Keyserver with a limited number of licenses for Acrobat Pro.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Found a solution, etc?
    Thanks!

    I agree with rikbarry - I finally reinstalled Acrobat, then ran the 
    update to 9.4.5. The updater took nearly an hour to finish which can't 
    be normal, but the software appears to be the correct version now.
    I work for a very small graphic design company and use an older emac 
    that has pretty much reached its shelf life for many apps and OS. 
    Could my aging computer be contributing to the problem?
    Because we depend heavily on pdf workflow, I chose to reinstall 
    WITHOUT running the uninstaller first, as the 9.4.4 version was at 
    least still functioning. I was somewhat surprised that it worked, and 
    I am NOT looking forward to the next updater.

  • Created a Form in Acrobat 9 pro and in LiveCyle. Images are blank in Acrobat Reader !!!Can you Help?

    I wrote a manual using MS Word on Vista 64 bit
    I have images in the manual.
    When I open the File in Acrobat 9 Pro, the images are displayed.
    BUT, when I opne it in ACrobat reader, the images are black boxes !
    Would you be kind to help me solve this matter?

    The boss used the Mac Preview app to fill out the form. Make sure that it is filled out using either Acrobat Pro or Reader to ensure you can use the output.

  • How do I upload Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and other tools with the Pro onto my new computer?

         Since I am already a customer of Adobe, I need to know how to upload Adobe Reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and the other tools that go with both programs onto my new Windows 7 HP computer without having to fill out a new customer form or without having to pay for another Adobe membership as a new member?  I need to know what to do step-by-step so that I can upload my Adobe reader 9, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and the other tools for the Reader and the Acrobat XI Pro.
         You may send the step-by-step instructions to my e-mail address of [email address removed by host].
         Thank you!

    I have been trying to start my subscription again for my Acrobat XI Pro and for the annual subscription of the PDF Export for Word and Excel.  The PDF Export expired according to my subscription list, but, I think that I had cancelled my Acrobat XI Pro of $ 29.99 monthly, so, I am wanting to presubscribe for it again, but, when I try to put my Code in for my Debit Card, it will not register with your company.
    So, I do not know what to do to get it back again with my monthly and annually subscription payments for PDF Export and for Acrobat XI Pro.  I have already downloaded the Adobe Reader XI onto my computer so I am set for that product.  I just do not know what to do about the PDF Export and the Acrobat XI Pro to be able to get them started once again.

  • Printing out of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and CS4 Illustrator

    Hi,  I'm working on a MacBook Pro,  version 10.6.7 Mac OS X, I just hooked  up the HP Photosmart Premiere  C310 Series printer.  It's hooked up via  USB, and will print from all  applications except Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Illustrator - CS4.
    For Acrobat:   When I try to print a PDF, I get the message "The document could not  be  printed." followed by "There were no pages selected to print."
    For Illustrator:   In the Print window, under Printer, I can either select Adobe   Postscript File and save, or, select my printer where the preview is  unavailable, it grays out all  options and I can't select anything. OR,  if I select my printer where the preview is unavailable, I get the error  message "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management settings  are inconsistent."
    These  are the only two applications  I'm having trouble with, and since the  printer is sold at Apple.com,  I'm hoping someone else has come across  these issues.  Please help!
    Thanks.

    You may want to ask in the Acrobat or Illustrator forums. This one is for the free Reader application.

  • Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'

    Hi Irenedix,
    If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
    Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 pro and windows 7

    I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro and installed it on my Dell windows 7 desktop.  When I go to print to Adobe the pictures come up in the print screen with a green hue or tint to them. To view the pictures in the folder they are fine. To actually print the pics to the printer they print fine, but attempting to convert the pictures to a pdf file, they show and convert with this green hue or tint. Any ideas as to why?  I had this program installed on my XP windows prior to this with no problems.  Very frustrated.   Any thoughts.

    You are allowed to use one license on two machines. Deactivate the XP version of Acrobat. Wipe the machine and install Windows 7, then re-install.

  • I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

    I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

  • Font Issue in Acrobat 9 pro and X pro

    Fonts are not displaying properly after selecting the text with Touc-up tool in Acrobat 9 pro and X pro how to solve this issue?

    When Acrobat X installs it will remove an Acrobat 9 install.
    Suggest you Deactivate then uninstall Acrobat 9 before installing Acrobat X.
    May want to root about to locate that Acrobat 9 CD first.
    As the preponderance of resources in Adobe's "Education" space deal with use of Acrobat X you may be better off in the long run by working out of and learning "X".

  • Problem with Adobe Pro and Reader on terminal server

    Hi,
    We have have a Terminal Server environment with Adobe Pro and Reader. We have security for Adobe Pro, so only certain user has access to Adobe Pro and all users has access to Adobe Reader.
    Some users receive many email with pdf's attachments in Outlook and need to print these attachments. They use the Outlook function to print email and attachment automatically. The users who has access to Adobe Pro can print attachment automatically with no problem.
    The problem is user who only have access to Adobe Reader. The user can't print attachment automatically with the email, only the email is printed. But, they can open attachment and print with Adobe Reader. But, it's impossible to open each attachment because there are so many.
    Thanks for your help.
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    So if I understand correctly,
    1. You have installed Acrobat Pro & Reader on a Terminal server.
    2. You have created a security group in your Active Directory Users & Computers for users having access to Acrobat
    3. You have set permissions on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe on the terminal server and provided access only to the security group created above.
    4. Users are accessing the Terminal server through RDWeb or connecting remotely through MSTSC (RDP) or using a .RDP file
    5. Users get emails with PDF attachments and print the mail directly without opening the PDF in Reader.
    Users check the box to print the attachments with the mail (see snapshot below):
    Some questions:
    1. What is the OS and platform (x86 or x64) of the terminal server?
    2. What are the versions of Acrobat & Reader on the terminal server?
    Thanks,
    Vinod
