Acrobat 5.05 cannot sign fter Acrobat 7

We have a mixed Acrobat environment at work. Most users have Acrobat 5.0.5 (running under Windows XP) to create and sign PDFs, and use recent versions of Reader to view documents that won't open or display properly in Acrobat 5.0.5.
A few users have Acrobat 7 running under Windows Vista or 7. Acrobat 5.0.5 will not run under these newer versions of Windows, so it was necessary to buy new Acrobat 7 licenses for them.
All of our documentation is digitally signed in Acrobat. Sometimes after someone has signed using Acrobat 7, Acrobat 5.0.5 users are unable to sign. This does not happen all the time, but it does seem to happen more often after some Actobat 7 signatures than others.
Does anyone understand what's going on? Is there a fix or workaround?
Thanks

Surprised that AA7 works on VISTA or Windows 7. Anyway, they may be able to use the PDF Optimize (not sure with signatures) to save as an AA5 file.

  • Cannot sign in Acrobat XI after recent update

    After recent update, cannot sign in Acrobat XI even after changing enhanced security settings

    To get iMessage and Facetime working you have to goto "settings > General> reset > erase all content and settings"
    After iphone reboots go thru setup like a new phone but chose restore from iCloud backup. Choose "see all backups" and chose one before you installed ios7.
    Usually iPhone backs itself up when locked and plugged into charger so there should be a few to choose from.
    The phone doesn't have to be pluuged into iTunes for this but probably should be connected to charger.
    Don't wait on Apple. They seem to think there is no problem.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - cannot sign-in

    I've downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and cannot sign in. Get an error message that cannot access Internet.  Not the case, I'm connected.  Checked FAQ, all certificates are there, enabled, not problem with firewall.  What next?

    On the command prompt type :   ping activate.adobe.com
    and check the ping results.
    If the test fails, configure proxy settings for Internet access in Network System Preferences. Or, try activating without the proxy. (An authenticating proxy can also prevent the activation process.) If you need assistance, contact your Internet Service Provider or IT Administrator.

    Rave,
    I have the same problem.  It says trial is expired, so I select the "sign in now" button.  After sign in, it comes up with a place to enter a serial number.  The only two other options are "back" and "next".

  • Acrobat Pro 9 e-sign and SharePoint 2010 integration

    Hello,
    I cannot get an Acrobat Pro 9 created document with electronic signature fields to open in SharePoint 2010 so it can be checked out, signed, saved and checked back in. I have seen discussions on this subject from 2011, but have not come across any solutions. Has there been a fix to this yet?

    There are several different scenarios that happen. I am testing the document before I send it out the links again to have users esign. Not every user has Pro 9. Some only have Reader 8. I am uploading the unsigned document created in Pro 9 to a SharePoint 2010 site. There are 10 different signature fields – none of them are locked. When I go to the document to sign under the “edit” function in SharePoint I get an error that says object label badly formatted when trying to save, or I am able to sign once and save, and when I got to test signature number 2 it cannot open the document. Every time I upload it to SharePoint I have to enable Reader 8 usage rights. Sometime it lets me do it, and sometimes it says “this document could not be reader enabled.” It does not seem to be stable. Sometimes it works and then just a few minutes later it has problems. Please advise. Thanks.

    Hello, I have Acrobat XI Pro for which I pay by monthly subscription. Each month, for the past three months or so, at renewal time, I receive a note stating that my trial period has expired and I cannot open my Acrobat Files. I have telephoned three or four times each time this happens and have been told that the matter has been resolved - it has not! At one time I had paid inadvertently for three account for Acrobat XI Pro running at the same time - I only need 1. I'm afraid that I may have just opened a second account by mistake in order to open my files. I repeat, I only require one account. Would you please advise and assure me that this matter has finally been resolved and that I will no longer receive these notifications each month..

    I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
    Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
    Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.

    Hi
    So i've trying to deploy CS3 Design Standard in our enterprise environment. And one of the deployments, requires that i have to deploy ONLY the Adobe Acrobat Professional component of the CS3 package.
    I run the install, and untick Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign etc......so JUST leaving Adobe Acrobat Professional. It installs fine, along with the Shared Components etc.
    But when i run Adobe Acrobat Professional, it pops up saying:-
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Now, as you can see i can't launch another suite component, as i've chosen not to install them. I'm assuming this is required so it can "register" itself. If this is working "by-design" then why does it let me install Adobe Acrobat Professional by itself, if i can't run it????

    Simon = The rest of the CS3 package works great in a ThinApp package, doesn't seem to be any performance difference between install types. Plus you have the advantage of no extra registry keys or dll's floating into your system.
    Peter = Thanks for the helpful comment, really helps me with this issue. And how is my installation of the product not "as designed".
    Adobe give you the option of JUST installing Adobe Acrobat Professional, so if they allow this, surely it's BY DESIGN! The fact it doesn't work by itself means that Adobe should change their design to state the fact you need to install another suite product to allow it to work.
    I've also tried packaging a standalone copy of Acrobat Reader Professional using VMWare ThinApp, but it does not work. And i've no problem with this, theres no real way to virtualize a device (i.e the Adobe PDF printer) so i'm fine with that.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time - why?? Pls help!

    Everytime I open a pdf I get the following message...
    "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional".
    What does this mean?
    I don't have Photoshop. Does that mean I need to get it to be able to look at pdf's?
    Is there anything I can just download without having to buy it?
    I have also just downloaded Adobe Reader 9.0, if that info helps?
    Please help, I need to work on a pdf for work due tomorrow!!

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
      5.  Enter your serial number when prompted.
    Hope this one could help.

  • "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched..."

    "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component..."
    This message has been coming up each time I read a PDF page during the past couple of weeks. The FAQ says it occurs when CS3 hasn't been activated, but this isn't the case for me, as I've been running CS3 Web Premium for some time without any issues and I'm up-to-date.
    The problem isn't with PDF files stored on my PC but only with those downloaded and viewed in a browser screen (both IE and FF).
    If I load PS or any other component prior to reading the PDF I still get the message.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    (I'm running CS3 under Windows XP Pro.)

    I don't know the answer, but it sounds like you are running Creative Suite. I faintly remember hearing about this before. You might get a quick answer in the Creative Suite forum (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bbf2708/). Bill
