I did the Acrobat Standard subscription (one-year), and each time I try to open a PDF file, I get the "provide a serial number." What am I to do?

I did the subscription 3 days ago and got an order number confirmation...but I can't open any PDF files on my computer. If there is something I am supposed to download...I can't find the link anywhere.

Uninstall Reader. Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool. They try re-installing Reader 9.2

Each time I try to print a .pdf file, I get a message that Visual C ++ has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way and shuts down so I can't print the document.

How do I get rid of this problem so I can print pdf documents?

If repairing doesn't work, then try a clean install. You will need to run the Acrobat/Reader Clean script: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?

Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.

Every time I try to open a pdf file in firefox, it asks me to activate adobe acrobat. How do I stop this from happening?

I do activate acrobat, but it still comes up next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I get the drop down to let me me allow every time but again , next time I want to use see or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. This is very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than having it ask me but that didn't solve the issue either.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Trouble installing and uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.1

Adobe wasn't opening the files. I did system restore several times and it didn't work. I uninstalled all the adobe programs and reinstalled. There was an error message about administrator. I tried again. Then it said adobe reader cannot be installed. Now I could get the documents but could not print them. Next I tried to uninstall again (all through add/remove programs) Now I cannot uninstall Adobe 9.3.1, the message is "patch package couldn't be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package." When I checked to see what to do the answer was to use micosoft installer cleanup utility. This application comes with warnings and I want to be sure this is the correct thing to do and that it won't mess up other things on my computer. Please help. My children are in exams and need this program.

MICU (Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility) might work, but it's something I've never used.
Regarding System Restore. I always tell people that System Restore is an absolute last resort if Windows isn't working properly. In other words, if your only other option is to reformat and reisntall the Operating System, try Restore first. Other than that it does more harm than good 99.99% of the time.
If you're comfortable with REGEDIT, you can manually delete the Reader folder from Program Files, and then delete all keys for Reader 9 from the HKEY/LOCAL MACHINE/Software/Adobe and HKEY/CURRENT USER/Software/Adobe registries, reboot, and then try re-downloading and reinstalling Reader. Again, that's IF you're comfortable with editing your registry. If not, go with the MICU.

Uninstall and Reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro registration failed

I have uninstalled and reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new machine. My new machine runs Mac OS X 10.9.5. Every time I try to click on Help > Registration it returns an error message 'Registration Unsuccessful" "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have no issue with Internet connection. Just wondering why this is happening and is there any way we can register this application.

Hi Ksb2009,
This version of Acrobat was never tested on this version of Mac and is unsupported.
I would suggest you may upgrade to latest version of Acrobat and that will work fine. It has loads of new and enhanced features than Acrobat 8.

Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro: Help Please

Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Gone to programs and tried to uninstall then message says it is going to do it. Then message prompts come up asking if it can update my software. If I say no action it stops uninstalling. Then if I say yes it goes no further either.
Regret every taken up the trial offer for this programme as I tried using it and message repeatedly appears saying "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command".
Please can someone offer some advice. Thank you.

Try launching acrobat in safe mode, to do so follow the steps:
a.       Press and hold down shift and double click the acrobat icon and then open a pdf file.
b.      If it opens without crashing after about 15 seconds, then you have a faulty plug in, locate and remove it from your plug-ins folder.
c.       To remove plug-ins, you may contact Acrobat Support

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

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.

How can I download itunes when I get the following errors ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
