Adobe Acrobat 8 in Creative Suite 3 for Mac OS abruptly quits

Adobe Acrobat 8 opens OK but then abruptly quits and closes completely. InDesign and Photoshop in CS3 work without any problem so far. I downloaded CS3 from the Adobe Website. I even re-downloaded it and reinstalled Acrobat 8 but had the same results, abruptly quitting and closing completely. The same problem happened to a colleague who also downloaded CS3. He uses an Intel-based Mac. I use a G5.

I keep multiple versions (6, 7 and 8 ) on at least one Mac because I'm a trainer. Sometimes on the forums or in class, someone is still using Acrobat 6, for example, and asks a question about it. Since my memory sometimes fails, it's handy to be able to open the earlier version to answer their questions. In particular, the Acrobat team has a tendency to put their features in a Mixmaster with every version moving them around. So where was the Overprint Preview feature in Acrobat 6. I'd have to open it to find it.
Like Buko, except for printing, I've found no conflicts between versions. You really can only have one version of the Adobe PDF printer installed because they share some resources.

  • Unable to unistall Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac

    I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac on my MacBook Air.  I decided it was not worth the money to purchase.  How do I get rid of it?  It has expired, but now I cannot open my regular Adobe Reader?

    The same procedure I would use for your Adobe Reader. After that you load it down an install it anew.
    Good luck!

  • Adobe Acrobat 10.1.10 for MAC, gray pages

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 10.1.10 for Mac. When I open a PDF, I see nothing but gray on each page of the PDF. In the Quick Look the pages are there. Please advise.

    This is usually because the pages contain image only data that is at a lower resolution than Adobe Acrobat will display.  Open the PDF file in Mac OS X Preview, which should also display the PDF content and then go to File>Export as PDF.  Name the file as a different name and then open it in Acrobat.  The graphic content should now display.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X download for Mac

    I need help finding out how to download Adobe Acrobat Pro X? I bought it on CD with my CS6 but I cannot find those disks.  I bought a new computer and want to put it on there, but I cannot find it anywhere on line to download.  I can find the Pro XI but I need just the Pro X.  Where can I find it to download?  I have my serial number and have been able to make the other versions of CS6 to work, but I cannot find Pro X.

    The download page for CS6 is here, but Acrobat is missing as an individual download:, so you'll need to download whichever suite you purchased.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    Alternatively, if you've lost the disk, then you could try to contact Adobe to see if they'll send you a replacement set.
    No doubt Adobe will want to sell (sorry, rent) you the Creative Cloud version, which is download only. Of course, you may not want to get involved in that.

  • Creative Suite For Mac

    Hi
    Sorry if this post isn't on correct place and sorry for my poor english. I bought Creative Suit Pack for plantform Win but now I am going to buy a Mac. Is it possible to change my Creative Suit Pack for plantform Mac if I have one serial key of this product? How I do? Can I downloads again the same Creative Suit or Can I downloads trial for mac version and to introduce the same seria key? Thank for all.

    If you have CS6 then you can call Adobe and request a platform swap. If you have CS5/5.5 you can buy a cross platform upgrade to CS6 or move to Creative Cloud. If you have anything earlier than CS5 then you'll need to buy a new full price license. If you have CS3 or later you qualify for upgrade pricing to Creative Cloud.
    Creative Cloud details here:http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

  • Adobe acrobat 8 pro download for mac

    I just got a new Mac and my old Mac had Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed on it and I use it for work and I don't a newer version for what I do and I would rather not pay for an upgrade.  Is there a free download somewhere of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro or can I somehow transfer the software from my old computer to my new one?
    Thanks,

  • Anything like adobe acrobat 9 pro extended for mac?

    Ready to switch to mac - buying on Friday - deal breaker though would be that there are no programs like acrobat 9 pro extended that can create pdf files from almost any video file...
    anything like that available on mac??
    Thanks and I'm hoping the answer is yes...

    I have, but acrobat pro 9 extended has more to offer than pro 9...including the ability to turn almost any video file into PDF. Check out the comparison chart

  • Has anyone managed to deploy Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac through ARD?

    Has anyone managed to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac to deploy with any level of reliability through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop?
    The main CS3 apps are "better", if still kludgy to deploy somewhat silently, but every time I've tried to get Acrobat Pro 9.0 to deploy, it steadfastly refuses to do so without demanding admin access on at least the first launch, and insisting on running the Updater in the process, which is completely unacceptable.
    I should say that I've looked at their Adobe Acrobat deployment site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/), and it's entirely useless for the Mac version.
    Why do Adobe make this so hard?

    Okay, I think I've figured this out.
    * On a clean machine (ie: no Adobe software), install Adobe Acrobat Pro
    * Run Acrobat. Insert license code. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
    * Run Distiller. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
    * Edit AcroEFGPro90.plist and AcroEFGDist90.plist which can be found in Contents > MacOS within the Acrobat and Distiller apps respectively.
    * Change the "Requires" tags from "YES" to "NO" for all the file resources.
    * Copy these to plist files into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and overwrite the ones that are already there.
    * Run Acrobat and Distiller again. Allow "selfheal" if prompted. Quit.
    * Run again. Quit.
    * Build a Mac OS X installer package of the following:
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0
    /Applications/Utilites/Adobe Utilities
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
    /Library/Application Support/FLEXnet*
    /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*
    /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet*
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/Adobe*
    /Library/Printers/PPDs/.../.../.../ADPDF9.PPD (one per language)
    /Users/Shared/Adobe
    /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
    * After you've built the package, go through the Acrobat application bundle and find cupshup.pl. Copy it into the Resources folder of the installer package, and rename it to "postflight" (this gets the installer to configure the PDF printer).
    * Distribute through ARD.
    * Grab com.adobe.* from ~/Library/Preferences
    * Distribute the com.adobe.* files to all users; the .plist files can be done through Workgroup Manager, however com.adobe.118.registration must be copied as-is into the user folder, rather than being injected via MCX or the defaults command or any other method, as it's not a plist.
    Dear Adobe,
    MAKE THIS SIMPLER.
    Your Friend,
    etc...
