Acrobat Pro Does Not Install

We are using TCS 4 on a Windows 7, 64 bit platform.
When we installed TCS 4, we did not get Acrobat X Pro (nor XI).
So, I inserted the installation DVD to see if I could just install Acrobat Pro, and the Adobe Installer would not proceed because it detected an installation of TCS 4 already.
So, I uninstalled TCS 4 (a 30 minute ordeal), and proceeded to install it all over again, this time hoping to verify that Acrobat Pro was, in fact, selected in the product check list.
In the product check list, Acrobat X Pro was indeed selected in the product check list. Installed it all over again (another 30 minute ordeal).
Saw the statement: Installing Acrobat X Pro.
When the installation was done, saw the following: "Some items for the following product(s) could not be installed successfully." (PDF icon)
Acrobat X Pro did not show up under programs, by itself, or in the Control Panel (Programs and Features).
Went here for update:
http://helpx.adobe.com/tech-comm-suite/kb/tcs-4-update1.html
Saved zip file to hard drive. (A 549 MB download.)
The Installation Instructions were in a PDF, which my system could not read since Acrobat X Pro did not install.
Followed instructions on URL above.
Double-clicked "Set-up.exe" in the unzipped files.
Adobe Installer hung up at about 2/3 of the way through "Initializing Installer" (it stops dead).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks Jeff.
We finally got it to work. This is what we think happened: We closed most of the applications on our computers--but not all--when we started the Adobe Acrobat installation. If the installation process popped up a window that told us to close some specific app, we did. However, in our case, we also use Lotus Notes. The Acrobat installation process never told us to close Lotus Notes, so we left it up and answered emails as we attempted to install Acrobat. But, as I said in my original post, the installation never finished, and we never knew why. Finally, we tried closing 100% of all applications--including Lotus Notes--and we were able to install it without any trouble.
Naturally, all of our testing might have resulted in a sheer coincidence that it finally worked when we did A-B-C, but at least it finally installed.
Thanks again!

Acrobat X does not install the Adobe PDF printer

When I try to install the Acrobat X on a Vista SP2 machine, the installation completed successfully but it does not create the Adobe PDF icon in the printers section.
This was not a problem earlier, but there were some microsoft patches and GPO updates which happened which may be causing this issue. I am not sure what change has caused this problem.
Any ideas on where to start the investigation would help.

you need to update to 8.1

Adobe Reader Installer does not work

I am trying to install Adobe reader on Windows 8. I downloaded Adobe Reader the Clicked the downloaded file and gave the permission. Then the Adobe Reader Installer window will show up but it's empty and has nothing on it. When I close it won't close either. I have to use windows task manger to close it. I tried to download it with another browser but still getting the same problem. I made sure that flash plug-in is working too. I used the direct link. Still can not install it.

Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Probably need to ask in the Reader forum, this is not it. The Reader forum link is listed at the top of this forum.

After CC packager created installer for Lightroom, Installer does not install

I created an installer for Lightroom (windows) using the CC packager. When I tested it it did not install Lightroom. I tried the 32bit version and the 64bit version and they both did the samething. Is there a problem with creating the Lightroom installer?

Far out, I have been suffering from the same issue! I have tried on multiple machines to install Lightroom CCP pacakge! When running the setup.exe for other packages it will actually install the application and display a desktop icon / program files entry. I have wasted hours trying to figure out why Lightroom wasn't installing even tho event logs said successful! How is there no official documentation from Adobe that this is the expected behaviour for Lightroom manual installs?
Sure the documentation says run setup.exe then exceptions installer, my thoughts were why bother with exception installer if the main package has not installed correctly! It should mention the program won't appear until exceptions have been installed?
Thanks for creating this thread DeltaCollege! And thanks for the resolution Romsinha!

Adobe Acrobat X does not convert pdf to Excel with floating columns!

I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.6.8, using Acrobat X Pro. I have tried all Adobe suggestions for converting credit card statement saved as Adobe pdf to Excel. None of the recommended solutions separate the data into columns. It places all data, separated by spaces, into ONE column. Adobe should fix this if it is going to claim that the product converts to Excel, and for $300+ it should!

Hello,
you may scan using any ICA-Compliant software (e.g HP Scan, Image Capture, Read Iris, etc) and then launch the file using Adobe Acrobat.
As you mentioned Adobe require TWAIN Drivers, however the HP software only provide ICA Drivers.
As you may find listed within the scanning specification below, Twain drivers are only provided for Windows OS:

How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
Best,
Sara
