Adobe Acrobat Professional and Adobe Reader

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (AP) and Adobe Reader 9
(AR) installed on a WinXP system. Both AP and AR work, but if one
is open I cannot start the other: If AP is open and I try to open
a pdf file in AR (right click -> open with... -> Acrobat Reader
9) the file opens in AP. If AR is open and I try to open a pdf
file in AP the opposite happens.
I am sure there must be a setting somewhere that turns this
behavior off but I cannot find it.
Any help is appreciated.

You are simply finding another reason why Adobe does not recommend this combination. You may be able to try the /n command line directive to see if it allows multiple runs between the two.

  • I have Adobe Reader X, Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Distiller 9 all installed, remove older versions?

    I have Adobe Reader X, Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Distiller 9 all installed on my computer. Should I uninstall older versions?  I am running on Windows XP Professional. Thanks,Kim

    Hi there,
    Distiller 9 is a part of Acrobat 9.  Acrobat 9 and Reader X can co-exist on the same machine. Unless you're having a problem, there's nothing wrong with having them both installed together.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been trying to activate it for some time.  I also had this same program on my previous computer.  How do I de-activate it from that computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?

    Hi larrygoynes,
    To transfer the license from one pc to another the step you have to follow is to 'Deactivate' the license first from the older machine.
    To accomplish this you need to Launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate'
    On the new machine you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Activate' the software and this will complete the license transfer.
    You can refer the KB Doc: Activation & Deactivation Help

  • Adobe Acrobat 6 and Adobe Reader 9 Web browser problem

    Good Day,
    I have a user that has Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 installed on the same computer. Acrobat 6 is used to edit (via open with -> Adobe Acrobat) while for normal reading, they use Adobe Reader 9 (since some files that were created in Acrobat 9 cannot be opened with Acrobat 6).
    From the desktop, everything works as it should. However, the problem is that when the user is trying to open a document on the web (from Internet Explorer 7) then instead of using Reader 9, it uses Acrobat 6 (and because is unable to open Acrobat 9 files) it gives an error saying that you need to have Adobe Reader 8 or 9 installed.
    So far I have tried the following:
    1) Reparing Reader 9
    2) Uninstalling Acrobat 6 running a repair on Reader 9 (which fixes the problem, until I reinstall Acrobat 6 again. I make sure I do not put a check mark on Read files on Internet Explorer)
    3) Went to Preferences on Acrobat 6 and unchecked Display PDF in browser.
    4) Checked on Manage Add-ins and tried disable any combination of Adobe PDF addin to make it work only with 9.
    Note: Reader version is the latest 9.4.1
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Ok, so after I wrote the last post, I read through the related posts, and found the answer to
    what i was looking for.
    I guess it is unofficial, but I tested it today and works great:
    Registry that needs to be changed is:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    Change the path (Acrobat 6) from "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat6\Acrobat.exe"
    to the path of Reader 9 which would be something like "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    That fixed the problem.
    Thanks

  • 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)

  • Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

    Hi everyone,
    I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
    Thanks

    I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
    Thanks

  • Can't activate Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0

    I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Professional and cannot activate it. Adobe says it is a stale product and no longer supported. They said download 22020134.exe and provided a serial number. It does not work.

    Please see http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    If you already did that (and be sure to use the NEW serial number with the NEW download) tell us what "do not work" means, please.

    I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE.  Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone.  I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf.  Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying.  Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

  • Printing problem from Adobe Acrobat 8 and Reader 9

    Hello together,
    i've got a problem while printing from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and Acrobat Reader 9.
    I've got the Error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
    It happens with my new Canon ip4700 and my brother laser printer.
    I got the newest available Version of OSX and the Adobe Updates.
    The PDF files are printed in the "OSX Preview", but not in the Adobe Software
    Happy for any help or advice.
    Best,
    Lukasz

    Acrobat 8 and Reader 9 are not compatible. The only versions of Reader and Acrobat designed to be compatible with each other in Windows is Reader and Acrobat X.

    Adobe Acrobat Professional.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.
