Adobe Reader conflicts with Adobe Acrobat?

It looks like there are some conflicts between Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat:
I just downloaded Adobe Reader 9 without problems but when running the downloaded file(.exe) the seup is interrupted before Adobe Reader 9 could be completelly installed. A message shows up saying: "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Adobe Reader 6.0.msi".
In fact, I had Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 installed some timew ago, but it was properly uninstalled as I did everything possible to completelly uninstall it, inclusive runing Registry Clean.
The same problem arises if I try do install a previous version of Adobe Reader (e.g. 8.0).
Can anyone please help to solve this probem?
Thank you.

This is not a solution, it is a work-around for bad programming practices.
I recently had a problem with links from one document to another for literature on our website. The problem was with both Acrobat and Reader where if I did not check the Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser", the pdf document would download into my "Tempoary Internet Files" folder. From there it expected to find and open the linked document. Our literature website downloads all literature from a common folder on the host.
This problem came up after upgrading (or is it downgrading?) from Windows XP to Windows 7. It was not a problem with Windows XP.
The fix for links was to check Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser". Now the fix for error 1316 is to UNCHECK Internet Prefference "Display PDF in browser".
I want both Acrobat and Reader loaded in my system so I can TEST the form or any changes I make from Acrobat.
I am really frustrated by this, especially when I get calls from my customers who are accessing our literature online and having the same problems. What do I tell them? Contact Adobe? NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GIVE ME A REAL SOLUTION, GUYS!!!
FYI: Try using FireFox or Opera browser. You may have better results.

  • Adobe reader conflicting with s-note?

    Hi,
    I have a galaxy note 10.1 tablet, which comes with the s-note app for handwritten notes. I read that it is possible to import and annotate pdf files in s-note. However, adobe seems to take over s-note. That is, I am able to follow the procedure described e.g. here, but when I get to the point where I choose the file to be imported (about 20s from beginning), a dialog pops up asking me whether I want to use acrobat or polaris office, and the pdf is opened in either program.
    Has any of you experienced the same behavior?
    I suspect this might be caused by acrobat reader, because I installed it after a while, whereas polaris office was shipped with the tablet.
    I am not sure though.
    I'll probably uninstall acrobat reader, since I'm becoming convinced that it's pretty much useless for my purposes. I mainly need it for annotating pdfs (underline, highlight), as I currently do on my laptop.
    However, as explained in this other post, the annotation tools in acrobat reader for android are very disappointing.
    Thanks for any insight
    Francesco

    I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible.  Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).

  • Adobe Reader Conflict with Trackpad?

    I thought I was having trackpad problems until I noticed that it mostly happens when I have Reader 7.0.5 open, even when it's in the background. The trackpad will be very unresponsive. Has anyone had this problem? Are there other applications that also affect trackpad performance?

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • Opening .PDF's in IE7 with Adobe Reader 9.0 & Adobe Writer 5.0

    Hi
    I am running a XP Pro environment on a HP D530 machine. I have installed on this PC Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Writer 5.0. I have defaulted through the folder options all .PDF and adobe related files to open in 9.0 and done the normal 'open with' option aswell. Problem is on this internet ticker link i have/use, all the .PDF's posted on there always default to 5.0 and produce a error saying i need to upgrade to a higher version. If i leave 9.0 open then it will default to them without any issue. Is there any regkeys or files in 5.0 or 9.0 i can change so i can set all files to 9.0 Reader?
    I have been told the ticker is only used to link to the files and does not have any code that dictates how the .PDF's open.
    Any adive or ideas would be of great help! :-)

    With Acrobat 7 you can only send out Browser Based Review, (which is replaced by shared reviews in version 9).
    The reviewers will need to open the PDF inside a browser, and have access to the location of the PDF to be reviewed.
    Acrobat 8 can do both types still, have a look here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WSB7237F9D-E90A-4c6 b-8C0D-58C7B2063B1D.html
    And here's a tutorial for those situations whereby reviewers do not have access to the server location of the Reviewed PDF:

  • Change the launch default to Adobe Reader 9 (instead of Acrobat 6)?

    I have Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat 6 both loaded.  Until a week ago I could launch
    PDF files in a broswer without difficulty.  They would launch in Adobe Reader 9.  Now when I try to launch a PDF in a browser Adobe Acrobat 6 launches and I get a message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat / Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser.  Adobe Acrobat version 8/9 is required."
    It seems that Acrobat 6 is the default now for PDF files.  How do I change the default Adobe Program that launches back to Adobe Reader 9?
    Confused,
    Simple Mind

    Hii.
    Go to any PDF file, Right click it ->Propoerties-> in open with select ADOBE READER 9 and OK...
    I hope it will work. Or innopenwith option select reader 9 and click the check box below-"Always use this....."

  • MAC Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3

    Model Name:iMac / Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo / Memory:4 GB
    When I installed Illustrator CS3 at the first time, I didn't complete it and closed it. While I installed it again, it said "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3". I was be stopped on this step, so I deleted the Illustrator CS3 from Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers without clicking it to uninstall. And I deleted other Illustrator CS3 files. After that, I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS3 again, but it kept to say "Adobe Illustrator CS3 cannot be installed because it conflicts with Adobe Illustrator CS3".
    I cannot find any Illustrator in my MAC. What is wrong? How can I install Illustrator again? Should I format the computer and install all the applications again?

    On the Adobe site probably under support do a search for Adobe CS 3 Clean Up Script.
    Before running the script read the instructions al the instructions first, do not assume you understand from reading the first sentence. There are some files that are not so obvious that are necessary for activation and they are probably still around but they can only be removed by the script.
    Next time you will have to read the instructions.
    The only other ways around this is the do an archival reinstall of your system or if that does not work a complete reinstall of your system. Running the script is the easier and better way to do this but you must read the instructions completely first.

  • How to open Adobe Reader DC with Tools Closed

    I do NOT like Adobe Reader opening with the right column expanded.
    Also in all previous versions I could save my login for protected pdf files and when I open them back up they require a login again.  This is NOT how I want to work with Adobe Reader.
    Adobe Reader XI was so much better.

    Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically.  This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
    The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
    Just my opinion here  Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.

  • I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

  • Adobe Reader Performance with Protect Mode On

    We are getting very poor performance in opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, particularly for users remote from our central server.  With Protected Mode off, performance is much better (10-20X faster opening).  Note that we are running Windows 7 with Application Data Roaming and Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, Protected View off, and Advanced Security on.  We have diagnosed the problem as follows: We are using the Windows 7 Application Roaming Data feature to house some profile data for our remote users, and when they try to open a PDF document with Protected Mode on, Adobe sends numerous I/O packets (approximatel 6000!) across the "wire" for security checking against the Application Roaming data file on the central server, thus greatly slowing PDF opening.  We would like to know the following: 1) Is there a way to turn-off Protected Mode for company server stored documents, while keeping it active for documents received from external sources (e.g. from the internet, e-mail, etc.). 2) is there a way to have Protect Mode security verification done only on the local machine profile data and not on the centrally stored Application Roaming Data file (thus greatly reducing the "across the wire" I/O traffic).  Thanks for any help, CCB.

    I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible.  Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).
