Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader Freeze

Everytime I open Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader I am unabe to open the preferences menu.  Program freezes up.  Also when I hit print the program also freezes.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with no success.

Which version (and sub-version)? Why do you have both Reader and Acrobat installed? Before AAX this was not a recommended combination at all.
You should be able to delete the Reader and repair Acrobat. If you do not have the most current version of Acrobat, you should do an update(s). If you uninstall and reinstall again, before the reinstall, deleted any left over parts of the Acrobat folder and run a registry cleanup utility (the MS one if you can get it -- MS quit distributing it -- or CCleaner). Then reinstall. Typically the repair and the updates should take care of things unless you have gotten a corrupt plug-in included somehow.

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

    Can you describe exactly the steps and behavior that you are experiencing? There really isn't enough detail in your description to assist you.

    You do not need a Beta channel build of Firefox (which currently is 32.0b6) to use Flash as the issue was you needed Firefox 27.0 or newer to use the old Flash 11.1 plugin on Android '''4.4'''. after it came out on tablets/phones.
    What Nexus 7 version do you have as there was a 2012 and a 2013 model. A easy way to tell if it is a 2013 is it has a camera on each '''back''' and front while 2012 only has one on front.
    If it is the 2012 then it has a Nvidia Tegra 3 so the old Flash 11.1 Plugin is disabled.

  • 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.

  • Security matching between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader

    I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro that requires information to be filled out in boxes as well as signatures to complete the form. I've tested the form on different computers that bring it up in Adobe Reader. I'm trying to make them compatible. My Security options on Pro for the document show that everything is allowed (printing, changing the document, signing, etc.) but when it is opened up in Reader it shows most of those as Not Allowed.  I need to change that but I'm not sure how. I need the form to be compatible for Reader so that others can fill out the information needed and then submit via email back to me. Please advise on what to do to make that happen, if possible. I need details! Thanks!!

    You can enable certain features in Reader, such as digitally signing and saving, by Reader-enabling the document in Acrobat. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
    A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

  • Adobe Acrobat X and Reader XI

    Hello,
    Can Adobe Acrobat X (pro) and Reader XI installed at the same time?
    I'm asking this because I need Acrobat to create PDF files, but I want to read PDF files in the latest version of Reader.
    Won't it damage the installation of Acrobat or Reader?
    Thanks.

    It's pretty easy to assign the default program used to open a file type:
    Acrobat X Pro vs. Reader XI.  Getting Pro to open as default?

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro and Livecycle

    Hello,
    just recentlty purchased my Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit (especially my interactive calculations), which I created in LIvecycle on Windows.
    Unfortunately, I always just got the error message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
    Unfortunately I am not using Windows any more, so was wondering, if there is any other way to edit my documents ?
    Thanks a lot, Marc

    No. You can only edit LC forms in LiveCycle, and it is not available on a
    Mac. Also, even on Windows it's no longer bundled with Acrobat. You have to
    purchase it separately (or request a download link if you had a previous
    license).
    I would suggest converting your files to "standard" Acrobat forms, if
    possible.

  • Does Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader mount all listed network folders in Mac OS X 10.6?

    I administer several Macintoshes on a managed network. Recently, we migrated most machines to Mac OS X 10.6. Now, when users navigate to a network folder to open a document from Acrobat Pro 9, Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat Reader X, any folder shown in the "Open" window from Acrobat is mounted on the user's desktop. The protocol doesn't matter - the server could be accessed via smb or afp. If the file is held in a network folder near the bottom of the alphabet, all folders that are exposed in the "Open" window mount. Not only does this create clutter and confusion for the user, but sometimes it crashes Acrobat.
    This behavior is present only in Acrobat Reader, Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and X. No other application, Adobe or not has this affect navigating through the open file function.
    This behavior is present after complete uninstall/reinstalls of the applications.
    This behavior is present in any account – local or network.
    This behavior is present on any Macintosh running Max OS X 10.6.
    This behavior is NOT present in OS X 10.5.
    Can anyone else in this forum duplicate or explain this behavior?

    Hi Onewizard,
    I tried and checked this on different version of Acrobat and Reader however not able to replicate this behavior. I am on MAC 10.6.8

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro (and Safari) take minutes to quit!!!

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 (and Apple Safari 4.0.4) take several minutes to quit on Mactel with Mac OS X 10.5.8. I thought that they had frozen after selecting to quit such applications, or logout, restart or shutdown the Mac, but if I leave the Mac for several minutes, they eventually quit.
    What can it be? The Console does not indicate any special activity.

    Update:
    If I open Acrobat or Safari and immediately or after a while I quit them, they quit quickly as expected. No problem. But if I leave them all day open and then try to quit them, then:
    - Acrobat takes several minutess to quit. Console shows nothing. After a while, Activity Monitor shows Acrobat (Not responding) taking about 5% CPU and also spindump taking about 10% CPU. Eventually spindump does not show and after some minutes, Safari shows as normal (without the not responding red label), and a few seconds later it quits normally.
    - Safari takes several minutess to quit. It shows the same behavior, but this time Console shows: PopChar installed fonts changed.

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader 9.4.4 to 9.4.5 Updates Fail

    I was unable to get a satisfying answer via phone support, and after connecting with a supervisor, I was disconnected. So here goes...
    (Mac OS X 10.6.8) Adobe Updater 6  began notifying me recently that updates were available for Adobe Reader from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
    Adobe updater soon notified me of the need to update my Acrobat Pro from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Acrobat Pro application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Acrobat Pro and check for updates again."
    When Adobe updates its software, I shouldn't have to "reinstall" old software and "check for updates again" in order to install the update. Surely Adobe can offer a more direct, convenient way for customers to update their licensed software?

    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.
