Will uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 affect PDFs already created?

I am receiving a message that I must uninstall then reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to fix a problem. Operating system. Windows 7. Problem on laptop only. No problem on desktop. Error message says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help. (148:3)" If I uninstall / reinstall will this affect the PDFs already created in My Docs? Is there another way?

The process with not affect the PDFs, but I would be concerned about registration and such. If you uninstall without deactivating, you may lose the second install option and have to call Adobe to reset. I would try a repair first and see if that helps. The repair can be done from Control Panel>Programs & Preferences (since you apparently cannot open Acrobat).
If you do uninstall, do the following before reinstalling: run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. If Acrobat is part of a CS installation, you may need to check there (CS forum) for the proper way to reinstall.
If you have an upgrade, then be sure to have the SN of the previous product available.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How do I reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

I unistalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I am a Creative Cloud member. I want to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. HOWEVER, my Creative Cloud app manager shows that I already have it and I can't reinstall it. I've signed out of the CC desktop app, and signed back in again. It still shows that I have Acrobat XI Pro. Help!

Maybe an Adobe employee will come along with a better solution

How to uninstall the Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0?

I can't uninstall the Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 from my computer. It shows saying "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0 Get last Error:5." It also can't be re-installed. How to do it?

If you still want AA7 running, then open Acrobat and use Help>Repair. If you cannot open Acrobat, then in Windows go to Control Panel>Programs & Features, select AA7 and repair. If you do uninstall AA7, it is likely you will not be able to successfully reinstall it without a new download. Check https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.ht ml. If you are to the point you have no choice but to complete the uninstall, then use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.

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.

How to do a manual uninstall of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.4) on my Mac?

Hi Adobe Acrobat experts,
Can someone walk me through the steps I need to take in order to perform a manual uninstall of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on my mac?
I just got Adobe Acrobat 11 on my mac and don't want to accidentally uninstall that in the process, or delete anything necessary for me to run my other CS4 Master Suite applications.
I can't uninstall the normal way and have tried to troubleshoot it in many ways. So the last resort I have is to manually uninstall. I just don't want to mess up my PDFs.
Thanks so much!

Not able to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac

I have to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac -- I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it appears to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, it disappears. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions?

There is some process for the CS version where you are supposed to open one of the other products and then complete the Acrobat install/activation. It seems a bit strange to someone like me without CS, but I have seen such several times. You might want to ask in the CS forum about the details. The details of the install is about all you may need to go to the CS forum for -- other Acrobat specific questions are fine here.
If you wait, it may be that other CS users will be by to help with the variations for that install.

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.

Adobe Acrobat X PDF Printer not printing to Network Share

Until recently we have been able to print to PDF onto a network share/drive without an issue. Now it does not work, and we are not sure if it is an antivirus blocking it or perhaps an Adobe update, or even a combination of the two.
We can print to PDF fine to a local drive, or with an older version of Adobe Acrobat (8 or 9), just not with X.
Has anyone encountered this issue, or have any insight on what might be a solution to our problems?
I have tried disabling all the antivirus services, but that had no change.
I also reinstalled Adobe Acrobat X to see if it would work.
Lyle

I have just tried this, i.e., printing to a network shares (in this case a network share many miles away over a wireless internet connection from a hotel on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit), and have not been able to reproduce the problem.
Please provide the particulars of your network shares. For what it is worth, the Adobe software simply creates and writes the file to whatever location you point to. It doesn't even know if the destination is local or remote or anything to do with the network topology if remote.
You might also want to check any firewall software you might have installed to make sure that it is not blocking these remote file operations from Acrobat or any of its components.

I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form. I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online. However, I think the form is an HTML web form. All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on. Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade? Help

You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.

My appologies. It's been a while since ive used a support forum. Im using Windows XP Pro SP 3. 3GHz P4, 512 RAM
No, I can not see anything on the disc. I cant even see the discs for that matter. I have tried all three discs in both drives of my computer and it just shows the drive label. When I double click, it says "please insert a disc in to drive." But again, the discs work on othere computers, and other discs work in these drives.
I guess I should also say that I have tried the Add/Remove programs. On the CS2 Tryout I get the error stated in the original message. When I try to uninstall CS3 I get a brief popup flash on my screen and then it disappears. Nothing more happens.
Thanks

I am using Adobe CS6 web & design premium.
The problem came about when I was viewing a pdf, while trying to use Wolfram Demonstrations Project http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/index.html.
When I was trying to install the CD, a lot of windows of the icc profles pop-up error kept popping up non-stop. I have no idea why this happens and I think this is a bug in Acrobat Pro X.
Does anyone know how solve this problem?

Did you try reinstalling Adobe Acrobat? I'd just start with a REPAIR (Help menu).
