Updating problem of acrobat standard to 8.1.3.

I tried to update my acrobat standard 8 to 8.1.3. The installation progress was stuck. I terminated the installation and tried again. This time, I received a message saying the installation failed.
What can I do?

Have you installed the previous updates? The updates usually have to be installed in order.

How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment. We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.
My question is:
How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?
Thanks for your time.

Go here:

The Updater guide has your needed information.
If you get the AIM AIR app, you'll get a database of other configurable preferences.

Acrobat Standard 9.5.3 and 9.5.4 Updates will not Install.

I am unable to install updates to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9. The computer is running Window Vista Ultimate 2007, Service Pack 2 and has a 32-bit Operating System. I receive the following Windows Installer error message when I try to install either update:
"This patch could not 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."
What do I need to do to correct the problem?
Thank you.

Can you do a verbose installation from the command line using the syntax below
msiexec /p [PATH_TO_MSP\NAME_OF_THE_UPDATE_FILE].msp /L*v c:\acrobatupdate.log
Then afterward post the log file contents to the forum.

Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update problem?

I'm running Acrobat Standard 9 on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Right after installing the Acrobat 9.1.2 update, but before restarting my system, I tried to open a PDF file, and experienced cascading file openings, where Acrobat seemed to be trying to open every PDF file on my hard drive in a separate window. Each window header contains the statement: "Adobe Acrobat not responding." After shutting down Acrobat through Task Manager, I then restarted my system, thinking that the problem was a failure to complete the update installation, but when I just tried to start Acrobat (without trying to open any file), it automatically began opening multiple PDF files again.
At that point, I ran a restore to a previous Acrobat version, but did not restart my system. After the restore was complete, my desktop displayed two Acrobat startup icons, one for v9.1.2 and one for the previous version. I tried to start Acrobat by clicking the previous verion icon, but had the same problem with automatic multiple file openings. When I checked the software list in Control Panel, I found that it only contained v9.1.2, and not the supposedly restored version. Does anyone know if I had to restart my system to make the restore work?
When it looked like the restore to previous version had not worked, I did an Acrobat program repair through Control Panel, and restarted my system, but when I tried to start Acrobat, the same problem occurred. Every time it occurs, I have to shut down Acrobat through Task Manager.
I never experienced this problem until I installed the 9.1.2 update. Has anyone else experienced problems with this update? Does anyone here know the cause of the automatic multiple file opening problem?

As far as I'm concerned, there is something screwy about this whole release. I have used Acrobat Standard since v4.0, and was forced to buy v8 or v9 when I upgraded my OS to Vista, so I chose v9. However, the most important feature to me (besides converting other documents to PDF files), something called FreeText, was replaced by something now called Typewriter. Unfortunately, where FreeText was intuitive and seamless, I cannot view the result of a Typewriter session in my document, after entering new text and closing the feature. On top of that, Adobe tech support seems to have gotten less accessible over the years.
This new problem has now rendered my Acrobat program completely unusable, and for some reason, Adobe's Internet support contact form doesn't even interact with my inputs. This forum has proved useless to me for any problem-solving. Anybody from Adobe Engineering listening?

Problem with recent Acrobat Standard subscription and opening up PDF's

After doing a 1-month trial for Adobe XI Pro, I completed online purchase yesterday (11/8/14) for annual subscription for Adobe Standard.
And now I can no longer open or read any PDFs on my computer. A prompt comes up that trial period has ended and I need to subscribe (which I have done). I did not expect this and am very frustrated. Is there a lag time for processing the subscription, or is this something related to updates of older version Adobe? I have Windows Vista.

Hi create shortcut,
Acrobat XI isn't supported on Windows Vista, so that could be what the problem is (see Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro). Although, it sounds like you were using Acrobat Pro XI on Vista, is that correct?
Your subscription is indeed, active. So, you should be able to simply sign in and use Acrobat Standard (but know that Adobe can't support any technical issues that might arise when using it on an unsupported OS).
Best,
Sara

Can I update my licensed Acrobat 8.0 Standard somehow? If so, please tell me how to do it.

Can I update my licensed Acrobat 8.0 Standard somehow?
If so, please tell me how to do it.
Thank you.

You need at least Acrobat 9 to be eligible for upgrades, so it's a moot point. Simply buy a new license of a current version.

Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text. I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard. What is the remedy for this. If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
If you must go to an image format, try PNG.

If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
Thanks for any help.

Hi WMdotcom
did you try to view pdf with your acrobat pro 9 ?

Acrobat 8.2.4 update problem solution needs clarification

Could someone please clarify the solution offered at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/861/cpsid_86169.html
Adobe Solution
Adobe has released an Acrobat 8.2.4 update via the auto-update mechanism for Adobe Acrobat 8.2.3 (CS3) for Mac OS. Adobe recommends that you check for updates by choosing Help > Check For Updates from the Acrobat menu bar.
File information
Filename: AcroFix824_Delivery.dmg
Usage notes
Double-click AcroFix824_Delivery.dmg to mount the disc image.
Open the mounted disc image and double click the AcroFix824 utility to run it.
In the Choose A File dialog box, browse to the Acrobat Professional application that you want to patch.
Enter the administrator credentials in Authenticate dialog box.
Click OK when the utility displays the Patched Successfully message.
My questions are:
After I had the problem with the 8.2.4 update, I restored my Acrobat Pro back to 8.2.3 using Time Machine. So I don't need a patch, I need a workable 8.2.4 update to 8.2.3.
So if I update to 8.2.4 using the above solution,
1. Does " choosing Help > Check For Updates" just install a patch to the original flawed update to 8.2.4?
(Since I am back to my 8.2.3 version, I presume a patch would not work, if this is the case.)
2. Or does the "Help > Check For Updates" update my 8.2.3 to the flawed 8.2.4 and then the the AcroFix824.dmg patches the flawed update?
3. Or does the "Help > Check For Updates" update my 8.2.3 to a working 8.2.4?
Thanks for your help in clarifying this. I keep getting auto update messges for 8.2.4 and I don't want to say yes to them if it still is a problem with auto update.

I followed Adobe's instructions and the flawed 8.2.4 is constantly crashing. I cannot believe the update is worst than the old version. I would recommend not to update until Adobe fixes this useless update.
Now I have to re-install the program again and make sure not to install the useless "new update".
Adobe is going from bad to worse!

Having problems download Adobe Acrobat Standard using dell digital delivery.

The dell digital delivery and the dell website are both giving us problems. We have the serial/product key but just need a reliable place to download and activate the application from. Is there anyway to download a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Standard and then activate the install with the serial key we have?

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Tdavis710 you may want to try a different web browser. What version of Acrobat Standard are you trying to download?

How do you update an AIP installation of Acrobat Standard 10.1.1 to 10.1.7 without uninstallation?

I am attempting to to update my clients to Acrobat Standard 10.1.7 from 10.1.1.
They were installed via command line during the machine build using an AIP of 10.1.1.
I have created a new AIP for 10.1.7 so future installs will already be at 10.1.7.
I DO NOT have SCCM and can't afford it.
I need to be able to do this via Group policies, or scripting.
The only way I've figured out to accomplish this is to do a full uninstall of the product and reinstall from a batch script.
There has got to be an easier way.
Please let me now if there is any way this can be accomplished without the full uninstall.

You can't patch 10.1.1 with 10.1.7. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html.
See also: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/aip.html
I think a full uninstall is required.

Reinstalling Acrobat 8.0.0 not a fix for update to mac Acrobat 8.2.4 problem

The problems associated with Adobe's distributed 8.2.4 update - the update that BROKE Acrobat - are not fixed, even tho other threads say that the problem is "answered."
After the Adobe update caused a "lockout" from using Acrobat Pro 8, and giving the user a message to "start another CS application" (or words to that effect).
Adobe's answer is to reinstall Acrobat from the distribution disks, and then to go to HELP> Update in order to iterate updates to the current rev.
Many of us have found it impossible to update to "current level" after re-installing 8.0.0 from the distribution disk for CS3. My error message is:
Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3 Update failed to install
What is the remedy for THAT?!?!?!

I cheated.
I have an old G5 with an stale (unupdated) copy of Acrobat 8 on it. I updated it from 8.1.4 to 8.1.6 and then it did a GIANT update all the way to 8.2.4.
I was excited - I thought that Adobe had posted a cumulative update.
So I went back to my MBP, and tried it ... and it insisted on doing 8.1.6 and failing ...
So I COPIED the apps from the G5
And it even fooled UPDATER.
Maybe this is not a permanent solution, but it seems to be behaving properly.
Pity the poor user who does not have a second computer or Time Machine (backing up apps).
Adobe is still on the hook.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro update problem

I just received and downloaded an update, but now I can't open my Acrobat X Pro or the Distiller. The distiller boxe briefly flashes on the screen but doesn't open. Acrobat briefly gets an orange halo around it on my taskbar but doesn't open.

Received from where. You should update from the Acrobat help menu or go to the http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows site to download updates. If you just accepted a download from some place else, you may have just installed a virus.
