Damaged Organizer Database --- Pro 9.0

I have just moved my Acrobat Pro 9.0 to a new computer with Win 8.1, 64bit.  Every time I try to print to Adobe PDF, I get the error message, "The Organizer database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched.  Quit the application and close any currently opened web browsers."  Is this a issue with pro 9 vs Win 8.1, or is there a step or three I can take to correct the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Leave the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0. while it is open, open a .pdf file, save as (same name) you will get that error message, disregard it. if you now look at your Users file you will see the organizer90 file that was created. Copy that file to your desktop. Now close Acrobat and you will see the organizer90 file disappear. Once it does, move the one from your desktop into the Users file.
So far it has worked for me, no more Damaged Database message.
Hope this helps everyone!

  • Damaged Organizer database error

    I have moved my copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 to a new computer with Win 8.1 x64.  Whenever I print a document to Acrobat, I get the error message, "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched.  Quit the application and close any currently opened web browsers."
    What might be causing this, and how can I correct it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi beckinista,
    I've moved this thread to the Acrobat forum, since you landed in the Acrobat.com forum. \
    However, I think the following document will help you resolve this error: Error "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset..." | Acrobat 9
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro -Organizer Database Damaged

    I am running Windows XP. I just started doing tutorials to learn this program. I was really impressed with what the Organizer could do, but suddenly it stopped working and I am receiving the following message: "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched. Quit the application and close any currently opened web browsers".
    When I relaunch the program (with my browser closed) I still get the same message. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I haven't a clue as to what I should do to cure this problem.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I have been running Adobe Acrobat 8 with Windows XP for several months.  Yesterday, for the first time, I received the error message:  "The Organizer database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched.  Quit  the application and close any currently opened web browsers."  I did as requested, but still received the same error message.  I logged on this morning and still received the same error message.  I came to this forum hoping to see a blurb or tow, but I don't see where William's initial post was resolved.  Is there anyone who can assist?  Thanks.

  • Acrobat 9 installed on Windows 8.1; upon Save, error every time: "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset..."; no "Organizer90" file found (to be deleted, as www suggests for solution with XP, VIsta, 7)

    I've installed my old faithful Acrobat 9 Pro on my new Windows 8.1 computer. The program works, but every time I save the document, it tells me "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset. Quit the program and close all browsers." (Something close to that text.) I've entered the error online, and a solution does appear for XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It tells me to have Windows Explorer show hidden files, and then look for "Organizer90" within Users/[me]/AppData/LocalLow/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0, and then delete that file -- which will make Acrobat generate a new one. But there is no such file there. Please help with alternate solution. NOTE: When I "Check for Updates" in Acrobat, I'm told that there are no updates available at this time, but also told: "Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater." Seems like things are out of whack.

    Thanks for help. Difficulties continue: When trying to install 9.5.5, I'm told it can't install because the program may not be on my computer, or may be the wrong version. I'm told to check that the program exists. The installed version (9.0) is totally legit, my serial numbers, etc., I've used it for many years. Automatic update seems to be on, but I downloaded Adobe Updater to be sure. Seemed to make no difference. Program does function, but not perfectly. Under "About," it calls itself 9.0, so it would not seem that auto update is taking place. Acrobat on previous machine (Windows Vista) indeed calls itself 9.5.5. (It was installed with same 9.0 package, and presumably updated itself to 9.5.5 over the years.) So summary of current problem: Acrobat 9.0 won't upgrade to 9.5.5 on Windows 8.1.

  • Organizer database is damaged

    Recently I started getting a MS Visual C++Runtime Library Error message at start-up.  Consequently Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 started giving me an Organizer database is damaged message that will reset the next time Acrobat is launched.  Is this harmful to my computer and how can I fix it?

    Here is an Adobe file about the problem for AA9:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-organizer-database-damaged-reset-1.html
    Don't know if the link will help, but it is what I found.
    Another useful page might be:
    http://www.pito.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/04/2012-04Acrobatindexfilev1-1.pdf
    As to the actual location, I have no clue. I would suggest starting a search of the whole harddrive and go to bed for the night.

  • Organizer database is damaged in acrobat 9 Std

    I just installed acrobat 9 standard.
    When I open a PDF the program works fine, including editing fields etc.
    When i close any PDF this error message comes up.
    The Organizer database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched. Quit the application and close any currently opened web browsers
    I am not sure what the organizer database is, but I see others have had this problem in other versions of this program.
    What is the Organizer database? Any help would be appreciated
    I tried to repair installation under help and it did not help.

    Hello everyone!
    I think I just fixed the problem in Acrobat 9.  I have the pro version and vista business 64bit.
    I navigated to C:\Users\[YOUR NAME HERE]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0
    I noticed that there was no organizer file or folder inside that folder.  However, I noticed that the two files, Usercache.bin and SharedDataevents were updated at the same time that my acrobat had reported the Organizer database error.
    So, in an attempt to logically discern where the problem was coming from, I decided to drag these files to my desktop.  My understanding was that when Acrobat looked for and attempted to access these files, they would not be found.  Additionally, by saving the files, I could (theoretically) easily return them to their proper location if some horrible error occured.
    As I theorized, these two files were recreated upon opening Acrobat.  Since I deleted (moved) the files and Acrobat rebuilt them I have not had any trouble.
    I believe that what Acrobat does is APPEND the files if they are found in the folder, and if they are not found, it recreates them from a standard template.  I believe the UserCache file probably has the acrobat preferences inside, including the various standard fonts and icc profiles used for printing preferences.
    (ICC profiles are pretty neato IMHO and very useful for ensuring WYSIWYG document viewing and printing on various different monitors and printers.  Very good for prepress color constantcy and for reducing the "delta E" of your printshop.) 
    Anyhoo, because I don't ever use the organizer feature in acrobat, I am unaware of whether the recreation of these files deletes any info with regards to the organizer.  Perhaps special features are reset, but I don't know.  Perhaps someone who uses this feature will report their findings.
    The important thing for me is that the VERY annoying message IS gone.
    I will be sure to update this link ASAP if the problem reoccurs. I usually create 40-100 pdf files per day for work from web and print sources, so if it reoccurs I imagine it will do so fairly soon.
    Hopefully this will help those with Acrobat 9.0 standard as well.
    I would do the same thing for Mac using the location given earlier in the thread.  Just move the files or put them on a flash drive so you can restore them if things go south.  If I remember from my Mac days, the OS is pretty user friendly and the fix may be easier than the one for Vista.
    Good luck, all and happy Acrobatting!

  • About 90% of the time, when I try to close a PDF nothing happens. After repeatedly clicking the X I get the following message. The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched. Quit the application and close any curren

    Anybody had this Problem?

    You must be using an old version of Acrobat as Organizer hasn't been in the last two versions of Acrobat.  Here is the KB that covers that old error:  Error "The Organizer Database is damaged and will be reset..." | Acrobat 9

  • Increasingly FCP runs to 104 degrees C when operating. This can damage MAC BOOK PRO RETINA components, shortening their life-span.

    Increasingly FCP runs to 104 degrees C when operating. This can damage MAC BOOK PRO RETINA components, shortening their life-span.
    Can you suggest what I should do apart from shutting down word documents and other software, Parallels, Windows 7 when using FCP?
    I am gravely concerned with this high heat. I have to use a remote keyboard it is so hot, but gravely concerned with with the damage the heat is doing to to MAC BOOK PRO RETINA.
    ironic - given I switched to Mac from PC this year JUST for  FCP editing.
    BTW - I am a film lecturer advising thousands of K-12 teachers and a have a report to deliver to the Education Department shortly.
    Please advise. Many thanks. Schbang

    You didn't mention what sort of work you're doing - if you're just cutting video this shouldn't happen.
    My suggestion would be to optimize all of your media to ProRes .
    Even though PR is a much larger file it's much easier on the CPU. Playing back compressed media is like rendering all day.
    I routinely use an old 2007 MBP with a core 2 duo and FCP7. I can cut and color correct with no problem at all using ProRes LT files. The only time it gets hot is during long renders.
    I have the laptop elevated on a pedestal that allows air to pass underneath . During long renders I  point a small fan at it which often cools it enough to shut the internal fans down.
    All that said, I know the retina is a more compact design and components are much closer to each other.
    So, I'd be interested to hear from another retina owner.
    Good luck.

  • Is there a permanent fix for the Acrobat Organizer database damaged issue?

    I am constantly applying the fix for this. Is there a known reason this is happening so we are able to prevent it in the future? Adobe obviously knows about the issue, is a fix being worked on?

    Hi amr1119,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with installing the latest version of iTunes. I understand that you have done a lot of research into this, but was curious if when you tried to launch the iTunes installer file  did you right click and Run as Administrator? Try that and some of the other steps, if needed, in the article below.

  • Damage to MacBook Pro Possible?

    I have an SSD flash drive in the ExpressCard Slot on my MacBook Pro (Early 2008). I was wondering if there was any way I could do damage to the laptop by leaving the chip in most of the time or if it was safe to leave in the slot without harming the computer.
    Thank you, I understand this question is probably useless and I apologize I just am extremely protective and baby my MacBook Pro.
    Thanks.

    It's not going to do any harm leaving it in the slot

  • Will this damage my macbook pro

    Hi guys, I bought this macbook pro 15 inch i7 2.3 ghz for college in a few months. I wanted to also play a few games on it, (call of duty modern warfare 2, Left for Dead, ect..) My dad saw me installing steam, and he got upset, saying that he doesn't want my mac to be screwed up for college. He reminded me that I will be needing to store all my projects and info on this mac, and if it gets damaged that is a lot of money that will be wasted, and time. He doesn't think I should play games on here, because he is worried it could possibly do something to the computer before college rolls around. Do you guys think this would be an issue? should i still install them? Im worried he may be right, but I really wanted to game a little bit before college started.. Ill probably just delete the games during college.

    Several other people have told me that this computer was built to withstand tasks heavier than gaming. I have not installed anything. Im just trying to get some input.

  • What to do with a damaged Mac Book Pro? Any parts worth keeping?

    Hi
    Ive recently spilt a glass of coke on my macbook pro and it stopped working. I took it to apple and they said it was damaged.
    I have purchased a new mac since and transfered all the info from the old to the new.
    Are there any parts worth keeping on the "Coke Damaged" macbook?
    I have taken out the hard drive and keeping that, but would anything else be worth keeping?
    Thanks

    remove the hard drive (or SSD), which you did.
