Acrobat 4.0 & Windows XP

When Running 4.0 on Windows XP to create a PDF doc from Word file, the transforming, PDF maker/distilling, and printing routines seem to run successfully (as indicated by application itself)and finally a "process succeeded" notation appears - BUT the application then closes completely down automatically and no PDF file has actually been created. Had been running ME and just (finally) installed XP upgrade. Perhaps this is a driver related issue. In case, I need a direct or work around resolution ASAP that does not require new software purchase. Thanks. Howard

> I need a direct or work around resolution ASAP that does not require new software purchase.
Unfortunately Acrobat 4.x is not supported on Windows XP (Windows XP didn't exist when 4.0 was released). There is no workaround - you need to use a version of the software that was built to work with Windows XP.
If you are simply looking for converting documents to PDF, you can use Acrobat.com (http://www.acrobat.com) which gives your 5 free conversions per month.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 w/ Autocad in XP Mode- not working

    I'm running Autocad Arch Desktop (ADT) in Windows XP Mode within Windows 7, and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in Windows 7.  Unfortunately, no "Adobe PDF"  pulldown was created within ADT once Adobe Pro was installed, and there isn't any sign of Adobe in ADT (normally, Adobe automatically installs pulldowns within ADT once installed).  Adobe and ADT function normally otherwise.  Does anyone know how to get Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 to recognize and work with ADT in Windows XP Mode?

    Can you tell me how to set the defaults to Courier 10pt font?  I tried select all and it's grayed out, but that was after the
    fact.  Where are the original default presets?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • Acrobat 6 and Windows 7

    I would like to install Acrobat 6 onto Windows 7. I think it is first necessary to update Acrobat 6 into Acrobat 10? How do I do this?

    There is no way to install Acro 6 on Win 7 and you are way beyond any upgrade eligibility cycles. Simply buy a new license of Acrobat XI.

    Because your software is far too old for Windows 7.

  • Problems with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all
    I need help with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7.
    During the installation I'm asked to locate the file AdobePDF.dll on the disk. Selected the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64.
    The installation finishes without any other problem.
    The problem arises when I want to create a pdf from a Word document. I'm using Office 2007. When I select he option to create a pdf from a file, I get message in the attached image.
    If I try to used the Adobe PDF printer from within Word, nothing happes. The small printer icon apprears in the Windows task bar, but that is all. If I double click on the icon, I can see the print job, but that's all. There is no dialog box that asks me to save the file.
    Assistance will be apppreciated.

    Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

    The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it.  So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows.  I want to add my company's logotype as a watermark to a PDF document.  When I add it as a file (jpeg), the logotype is printed on a white square background (because the jpeg is square with a white background of course).  It will be positioned on the PDF document on a light, uniform yellowish color, which I want to show through. I want it to look as thought the logotype was stamped directly on the document.  Thanks.

  • I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help!  Chris.

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows Server2012 ?

    Is there a recommended Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows Server2012 ?
    Will Version XI (11.0.06) for Windows 8 work ?
    It is most annoying not to be able to open pdf files on Server.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Al,
    http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html doesn't mention Windows Server 2012. I expect it should work. It should not kill the system. Give it a try an let us know.

  • I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7

    I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7. The shortcut appears on the desktop but when I click it nothing happens. Same from the program list. Just re-installed from cd but still nothing.

    Since you can not open Acrobat (assume there were no errors shown with the installation and this is a new installation), then go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select Acrobat. Select the uninstall/change. Along the way you should be provided an option to repair -- do that. If you like, you can also download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

  • Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 Don't Work

    I just loaded Windows 7, now my Adobe Acrobat 8 doesn't create or combine pdfs.  Reloaded Acrobat 8 and still doesn't work.  Is there a patch to work with windows 7?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Well I finally got Acrobat 8 to work on my 64 bit windows 7 system. I put in all in a file in case I ever need to reload it. Here is what worked for me.
    To install Acrobat 8 on Windows 7
    1. Find folder data1.cab in installation files and drag AdobePDF.dll_64 onto desktop. Rename file AdobePDF.dll by deleting _64.
    2. Start installation process and when asked for file AdobePDF.dll from Vista disk use browse button and direct installation to file on desktop.
    3. After installation is complete try update (Help/Check for Updates) and after that check the version (Help/about ...). You need to update to at least ver. 8.1. If the Check for updates does not work - go to:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    and do AT LEAST the 8.1 update.
    4. Now you may try to print to the Adobe PDF printer but it probably will not work. If not, you will need to go to the Devices and Printers/Adobe PDF/Printer Properties/Advanced and set it to "Print Directly to Printer".
    That process should allow you to create .pdf files from the print menu. But be advised that sometimes it is necessary to click on the flashing icon in the lower tray to bring up the "Save" box after the print is initiated.

  • Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000

    Everyone that has the Windows 2000 operating system has problems with the Acrobat 3D models. The models were created using Windows XP and were tested using Windows XP. I am assuming that Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000 are incompatible. Adobe states Windows 2000 compatibility. Does anyone know why users with Windows 2000 are having problems with my models?
    Thanks

    Yes, I have checked the version and they have Reader 7.0.8. I also checked that they have the latest version of DirectX. Of course there are a number of remote Windows2000 users, so I haven't the ability to check the service pack installations, graphics drivers, and so on. Many of these users are schedule to be upgraded to new laptops (with Windows XP installed).
    I also have the most recent version of Acrobat 3D and have installed all the updates.
    It seems the problems are different among different users, but everyone seems to have some type of problem when using Acrobat 3D and Win2000.

  • Encountered error while installing Acrobat XI on Windows 8

    During installation of Adobe Acrobat XI for Windows 8, I received an error message indicating there was an error with my PC, the error was being transmitted to Adobe, and that my computer would restart. The screen went blank and did not restart automatically. When I started the computer, I noticed there was a shortcut on the desktop for Adobe Standard but nothing happened when I clicked on the icon. I suppose there was just a partial installation. I then tried to continue with the Adobe installation and received a Windows installer error: "Error applying transforms. Verify the specified transforms are valid. " I then tried to go into Control Panel and uninstall Adobe XI. I received the same Windows installer error. Not sure what to do at this point.

    Please try running the cleaner tool at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to remove the partial installation of Acrobat.
