Can't sign Acrobat Pro 6 PDF with Reader 8

I have many documents created with Acrobat Pro 6. Some have signature fields (forms). My manager has Reader 8. When she opens the documents, the "sign" capability is not available. She clicks in the signature fields and nothing happens.
From the File->Properties view, Security tab, Reader 8 shows "Signing: Not Allowed". From the same view in Pro 6, I see "Signing: Allowed".
Is there something (short of buying Pro 8 ) I can do to my PDFs so my manager can sign them using Reader 8?
Windows XP, Acrobat Pro 6, Acrobat Reader 8

With Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES software, you can activate functionality within Adobe Reader (version 7 and above), enabling end users to save, fill in, annotate, sign, and submit PDF documents and forms:

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

Can I have Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader 9 installed at the same time?

At one time I had installed the trial version of Acrobat Pro 9 but it expired and I had a heck of a time getting it off my system and reinstalling version 8. I've got that all taken care of now but I would like to be able to run Acrobat Reader 9.
Can I install Reader 9 over (or in addition to) version 8 or will things blow up? After all the pain and suffering of getting it whipped back into shape, I don't want to try unless I know that it's possible without causing problems.
Please advise. Thank you!
Jo

Thanks for your help. I guess I was afraid of what the answer would be. I'll just have to bite the bullet and hope for the best. If it doesn't work well, I just hope it's not a bugger to undo.
And one of these days I'll just have to upgrade the whole lot!

Can't open Acrobat Pro 9 with Photoshop cs5 open

For some reason I can't open pdf files or even the Acrobat application while photoshop cs5 is open. As soon as I shut it down I can open the file no problems. I'm assuming it has something to do with how much memory photoshop is using, but I've never had this problem before with any previous versions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I've noticed two ways it misfunctions
1) Photoshop is open
2) I try to open acrobat by either using the quick launch icon that has always worked in the past, or by opening a pdf file either in a folder or as a link on the web. It will not open and offers no error message. It merely 'dings' at me like when you try to click on something in a doc when you've got another window open and u need to press ok or cancel before you can do anything else.
or
1) I've already got acrobat open
2) I open photoshop ok
3) I go back to acrobat and try to do something like print and the program crashes and shuts down... no error message.
Opening at the original exe doesn't change anything. Acrobat works fine when photoshop isn't open.

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader. I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks. Error message says "Opening printer connection failed. Unable to open printer connection . . . " This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above. I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat! What's going on? Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents.

I installed CS6, including Acrobat Pro, now I can't open Acrobat or PDF documents. All other CS6 applications are available. The icon for Acrobat just shows the internet explorer icon.

There is a special procedure for Acrobat as part of CS. It goes something like opening one of the other applications and activating, then opening Acrobat (I think the others need to stay open) and activating it. It seems like a strange procedure and is likely documented in your info -- but I can't say for sure.

Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5. How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
I went to the "Acrobat Uninstaller.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder and double clicked it.
The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
I manually selected the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9 a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
"Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
Thank you for any help.

I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
Can you help?

I can't launch Acrobat Pro 9.0 (OS 10.6.4). Need Help.

Hi:
1. I have acrobat pro 9.0 ( I haven't updated it) and it was working fine until several days ago, when I updated the OS to the current 10.6.4.   Prior to that, it was working fine with the prior version of snow leopard etc...
2. Now, when I try to launch acrobat pro, I just get this message saying that acrobat quit unexpectedly.    I figured that I needed to update acrobat pro, I downloaded the current update, but when I go to update the original application, I can't do it because the icon for acrobat pro is greyed out (hopefully this makes sense).     Furthermore, I can't update acrobat pro by launching the application and having the software updater figure out what is needed... because I can't launch the program in the first place.
3. Does anyone know what in the world is going on?   From all of the variables, it's obvious that there's some issue with acrobat pro 9.0 and OS 10.6.4, but I can't figure out how to update the acrobat pro 9.0.
Any thoughts / help, much appreciated. Harry

Since you have already downloaded all the patches starting from 9.1 to 9.3.4, i would sugg
est a little longer route but this might solve your problem.
1. Create a new admin account say admin1
2. Log out from the current admin account and login as admin1(the new admin account)
3. Now update Acrobat 9.0 to 9.3.4
4. Now if you want you can logout and login into the original admin.
Hope this solves your problem.

Forms compatibility between Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader 9

Hi everyone. I have a problem to resolve as quick as I can. I haven't find any answers yet, maybe someone will know what's going on with my forms.
I'm working on a document made by another graphic designer, I can't reach this person. When I use his forms, it works in Acrobat Pro 8 and Reader 9, users can fill out forms and save a copy. BUT, I have to made a modification in the forms. I use the Touch Up tools in Acrobat Pro 8, made a copy, but this copy have a problem: users cannot fill forms and save a copy in Reader 9. They can only print the form and fill it by hand. I can't find any options to made my forms compatible with Reader 9 when I save the copy.
Do you have any idea why the original forms of the guy works but not mine?? My client is a bit mad
Thank you!
Karine

I am having a similar issue where I created a form and when I sent it to my team members (who only have reader) they are not able to fill in the form. It is like a document for them. I have done the "extended rights" several times in trying to figure out what is going on and it is still not working. Do you have any thoughts of what else I might try? I am very new to this all and very confused and frustrated right now.
Thanks!
Mary

Can't update Acrobat Pro X to 10.1.10 in Mavericks. Get "The update could not be applied because the Adobe Acrobat application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat and check for updates again. Error: 1301". I uninstalled 10.1.9 and reinstalled 10.0.0. When I try to update, I get the same error message, but now I'm stuck with 10.0.0 and can't update to anything higher!
