Reinstalling adobe acrobat 7 prof after upgrading OS but fails create pdf port

Used download manager to reinstall adobe acrobat 7 professional after upgrading OS to windows 7. Install ends but fails with error "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 set up was unable to create a new item Adobe PDF Port & Printer". Adobe is installed but I can no longer print to pdf nor use Adobe directly to create pdf from file. This feature was available before this reinstallation.
How do I fix this?

Hi myee.somers,
Acrobat 7 is a 32-bit application and while it can successfully be installed on a 64-bit machine using SysWOW64 (which enables 32-bit apps to work on 64-bit machines), there are some known limitations. One of those known limitations is that 32-bit printer drivers will not work on 64-bit machines.
So you can install the main Acrobat 7 application, but you won't be able to installer the Adobe PDF Printer Driver.
Support Policy for Adobe Acrobat 7.0.x (Windows XP x64)

Kb for error 20225: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-warning-20225-or-no.html
Even in the 64-bit versions of Windows XP the Acrobat 7 printer driver was not supported.

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.

Trying to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro after a crash

My laptop crashed last week and I lost everything on it. Every. Thing. I’m dying over here and desperately need a break…
Anyway, I’m rebuilding, much like New Orleans after Katrina. One program at a time. I want to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro, but my original key is invalid (I assume expired?) What do I need to do to get a new key to reinstall it? I appreciate any assistance or kind words anyone can offer.

If you have a key or S/N, they are indefinite and do not expire. It may be an issue of the version you are trying to use it with. The key is tied to a specific version (9, X, XI as well as Pro and Std and Upgrade). There may also be an OS issue if it is a new machine. So information on the version, upgrade (or not), and OS would help us give you some idea of the problems.

I had to reinstall adobe acrobat x after microsoft uninstalled windows 7 system and replaced new sy

I a not a technology person at 66 but i am learning. Now I am unable to click on pdf files and open them like before. Only way to open is to right click and use reader to open. Before new system was installed I had adobe shortcut on browser tool bar and in file had: convert to pdf. Everything gone now. Any answers or help. acrobat x is only 3 months old
Help needed in Carolinas

Hi,
It seems that Acrobatder has not been set as default to view the pdf files.
Right click on the pdf file and go to 'Properties'.
Under 'General' tab, opens with > click on 'change' button
A new window called 'open with' would pop up on screen asking you to choose the program to open the file.
Select Acrobat and at the bottom make sure 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' is checked and then click on 'Ok'
This should set Acrobat as the default program to launch the pdf files.
Let me know if this worked for you or not.
Regards,
Ravi

Acrobat 7: Warning 20225- Setup unable to create PDF Port Printer

I had to replace my computer and I am trying to install Acrobat 7 Pro on Windows 7. I read a comment that said it's not compatible, but others say it can work. Since Adobe closed the activation server for CS2 & Acrobat 7, Adobe tech support gave me the link for the non-activating version of the exe file and new serial #. I was successful at installing CS2. Acrobat says the installation is successful and I am able to open Acrobat but at the end of install I got the Warning 20225: Setup unable to create a new item- Adobe PDF Port Printer. I tried to uninstall and change compatibility to XP, SP3 which is what my previous computer ran on, but still get same error every time. I don't use most the features of Acrobat so it doesn't make sense for me to buy a new version. Mostly, I just need to be able to print files to pdf (from Word, Illustrator, web). Any ideas of how to get this part working?

Thank you so much, Mylenium. I'm not sure if I'm setting up the printer right so please let me know where I am making errors. I clicked "add a printer" and when it asks to choose a port, I left it as "use existiing port" and selected "File: Print to file". In the window to choose a printer, I clicked "Have Disk" and browsed to one of the .inf files (I ran a search in the Acrobat folder and found four .inf files shown below. I don't know which to use so tried each one) but each time got the error message on the second screen shot below.
Do you know if there is a newer driver that is compatible with Windows 7?

I need to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for MAC, but can not find it online.

I upgraded my MACBook Pro to Yosemite and now receive an error message that I need to reinstall Acrobat in order to run updates. However, I can not find Acrobat 9 Pro for MAC online. Please help.

That is correct Steelgrrl you will want to locate your installation media and copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have an optical drive.
Alternately if you purchased from Adobe directly and choose the download option at the time of purchase then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Adobe Acrobat Standard v 8 works, but print-to-PDF does not

I've been trying to migrate my main computer usage from an XP desktop to a Windows 7 laptop. I've had Acrobat Standard v 8 on both computers for years but have rarely used the laptop. (I mostly used the laptop as a dumb terminal to reach through the internet to my desktop.) Now I'm determined to make the laptop into my daily WORKING computer.
I see that Acrobat Standard works on the laptop (opens files, deletes pages, etc.) but I cannot print anything to PDF. When I try to print (from Notepad, Word, or anything) the "Adobe PDF" printer shows as my default printer. But nothing happens. It doesn't ask for a filename and the printer window (?) shows error on printing.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Standard 8 in January 2013 when it had stopped working altogether (opening a PDF would flash open then close/crash) which was probably caused by "a friend" installing an unlicensed (or wrongly licensed) version of Microsoft Office 2010. I uninstalled all of that mush and put a new version of Office on (2013, licensed). I don't recall if the print-to-PDF has worked since; but I suspect not.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm afraid to uninstall and reinstall the whole Acrobat again. Someone once told me that you can only re-activate your license so many times and then one day it won't reactivate. And since my version is so old and has been reinstalled after virus cleanups (reformatting system disks), I don't know if Tech Support will fix that sort of activation problem. That last thing I want to do is use new software, or have to go to a non-Adobe PDF editor when I already have software paid for. And yes, I have the original Acrobat Standard v 8 CDs.

1. I don't care about the button in Word; just trying to get a PRINT-TO-PDF function going.
2. The CD installed 8.0.0 even though I have 8.1.4 on my other computer (the XP desktop I'm trying to make obsolete). I will try to find upgrade downloads somewhere.
3. I tried to use the original CD and do a "Repair" option (not remove nor install). It went through the motions and would come up with an error. So I googled and found the article titled "Error "The file AdobePDF.dll is needed" | CS3 | 64-bit Windows" (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html) and applied the directions for Windows 7 64-bit version (which my laptop is), but the fix didn't work.
Still researching, and #2 above looks like the best next course of action.

Can't reinstall Adobe Acrobat from my Design Standard 5.5

I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat from by computer, it was part of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard. When I tried to reinstall Acrobat from the disk, it says my serial number is invalid, which it isn't. I tried live chat with Adobe but they were unable to help me. I use Acrobat for work and school so I really need to get this resolved.

Yes, and there is just one disk. I have tried deactivating Photoshop so it will let me license the product again, but I can’t deactivate. I’ve also tried un-installing the entire suite and then re-installing, but I am unable to uninstall.

Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

1. Re: Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan
Anubha Goel
I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.

Sometimes (but not always), when I try to open a pdf document from the US bankruptcy court website, I get a window asking if I want to use Adobe Acrobat. After I click "yes", I get a bland screen.

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

Reinstalling Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro to Win 8 Pro on a metered isp

I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro SP3 to Win 8 Pro. I used the CD to install the original Acrobat 9, then began the process of applying all the updates that have been issued since. The update from 9.0 to 9.2.0 was 300.1 MB, but my satellite ISP only allows for 250 MB per day. How can I update to the current version 9.5.3 without having to download and install all the intermediate versions?

Reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard [PL] + upgrade to Adobe Acrobat X Standard

Hi,
after migrating one of my users to his new PC it turned out we lost the necessary Upgrade packet with the installation files. I called Adobe tech support, but the lovelly consultant informed me, that they won't send a copy of any older versions of this software. The only Adobe Acrobat X installer I could find on the net was Pro, not standard. The Pro edition [in ENG, no PL version available for trial use] does not accept the "Adobe Acrobat X Standard upgrade" licence key. Could anyone provide me with a matching installation packet? Finding Adobe Acrobat 7 standard in PL wasn't a breeze, but still happened.
Thanks

How did you originally purchase your license of Acrobat X Standard? If you purchased an ESD, you should be able to log into the Adobe site with the Adobe ID that made the purchase and download your software again. If you purchased a boxed copy, I'm afraid we can't help you with the media.
Let me know how you originally purchased your upgrade.

Hi Tom,
kindly check the System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)

Reinstall adobe acrobat 8.0 standard

Dear Adobe,
I need to reinstall Adobe acrobat 8.0 standard after formatting. Unofrtunately I have not a backup. I have the serials but not the original install files. Is there anyway to download somewhere the files?
Many thanks

The link provided by Mylenium eventually leads to
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Only the Acrobat 8 Pro for Windows link is available there and entering your Acrobat Standard serial number into the Acrobat Pro installer will not work. A separate Acrobat Standard installer is required.
Are you trying to reinstall on a Dell? If so, you can get the software from https://smartsource.dell.com
Other than that, I'm not aware of any links for Acrobat Standard 8, sorry.
