Acrobat 7.0 Pro installation on W8.1

I own a new PC with W8.1 after deciding to renew my old and good-working PC with XP.
I tried to install my Acrobat 7.0 Pro from the original CD. During installation I've been prompted about PDF Printer is not installed. Later I discovered that it is not yet possible to activate the product (and this means only 30 days of functionality)
Browsing the Adobe website, I found the possibility to Download an English version (without activation) –as Spanish is not available, I installed it but this version is not running (I’m unable to open it) under W8.1. I also been prompted about the PDF Printer.
Anybody knows what I have to do to recover at least the PDF printer? I also use the Acrobat as scanner manager, so any help on this topic will be also appreciated.

uniinstall, clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then reinstall acrobat 7 from, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 using the posted serial number.
when you install, use compatibility mode for xp xp3.

Acrobat 9.0 Pro Installation

Does anyone know if the Acrobat 8.0 installation wizard will work w/ v9.0? Will they be releasing an installation wizard for v9.0? Has anyone been able to push out the install w/o using SMS? How did you push it out over the network to users w/ restricted permissions?

No, it won't work. You have to wait until the new version for Acrobat 9.0 is released. Who knows? Adobe hasn't announced that yet have they? Sorry haven't done the rest yet.

Right-click initiates Acrobat 8.0 Pro Installer

Problem occurs:
A.) Whenever I load Windows
B.) Whenever I right-click a file
C.) Whenever I right-click on the desktop
What happens:
Adobe Acrobat 8.0 installer starts, apparently installing the program (despite the fact that I already installed it as part of the CS3 Design Premium).
Troubleshooting history:
Ive tried re-installing Acrobat with no success. Ive tried removing the entire CS3 Design Premium and re-installing, with no success. I've manually deleted all previous Acrobat installations. I've wasted hours troubleshooting this "bug," not to mention its created a severe retardation of my operating system.

Can you post the solution or a link to the solution in this discussion? I have not been able to fine it. Thanks!

Acrobat XI Pro installation failed

MacBook Pro 13" Retina
OSX 10.8.5
3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Used Akamai NetSession Interface.
Downloaded from Adobe website. After download, clicked on installer, entered serial number, quickly went through installing until right at the end: "THE INSTALLATION FAILED: Installer encountered an error that caused installation to fail. Contact manufacturer." Part of the message cut-off abruptly.
Then, it appeared that the installation did occur but when I opened the software the interface didn't look "smooth." Then almost immediately software update stated Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 was available for download, but computer wouldn't allow it to be installed citing error on initial problem. I uninstalled XI Pro and tried to download again from Adobe website but the window instantly opened for Akamai and said download complete. The same problem occured when I tried to install again, with the same error message.

Thank you Anish.
The software now appears to be working for some reason, and even though Error 1301 appeared when trying to update to Acrobat 11.0.04, it shows that I am running 11.0.04. There is something going on in there but so far so good.

ERROR: DW006: Apple Package failed to install successfully. ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Installer.pkg failed with exit code: 1

Hi All, anyone with this problem with Acrobat Pro XI, IM USING MAC, also Yosemite if that helps.
Also Adobe CC, BASICALLY IT just quit and i had to uninstall, re install, and I get this
ERROR: DW006: Apple Package failed to install successfully.
ERROR: Third party payload installer Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Installer.pkg failed with exit code: 1
Anyone with same issues...

Same problem. Creative Cloud subscriber running Mac 10.10.2 on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). All apps work fine EXCEPT for Adobe Acrobat XI. I have tried 100 times and 100 solutions. NOTHING works.

Help, my Adobe Acrobat Pro installation stops!

I have created a package with "Creative cloud packager" with Adobe Acrobat Pro inside.
Once I download it and run the installation, after some minutes the progress bar stops and go back to the beginning, and nothing is installed.
Do you know what can be failing?
Thanks!

Hey Amit,
Are you facing any specific error message with this installation?
Try downloading the installer package from this link ( Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X ) and then try installing the software.
Hope that helps you!!

Acrobat 11 Pro installer get's hung up when it gets' to "Installing script packages-"

I have a 2008 15" Unibody Macbook Pro with the replaceable five hour battery. It has 8 GS of RAM and it is booted under Mountain Lion. The Acrobat 11 Pro installer get's hung up when it gets to "Installing script packages…" It never finishes installation. I've tried it after booting in Safe Boot Mode and then again in regular boot mode. I've had no success. The Acrobat 11 Pro installer works fine when installing on my 2007 32bit Mac Pro desktop, booted under Lion. Do I need to try something fancy with command line, using the Terminal app? I'm stumped.

Greetings, Rave and Sabian.
I resolved the Acrobat 11 Pro install issue without reformatting my Macbook Pro's internal hard drive. I reinstalled Mountain Lion on top of the existing Mountain Lion installation.
I reinstalled Lion on my '07 32bit Mac Pro, about a month ago, and it resolved a lot of issues. So, re-installing Mountain Lion on top of the existing Mountain Lion installation was the fix to get the Acrobat 11 Pro install to complete and also eliminate some other system bugs I was having.
After using Acrobat 11 Pro on my Mac Pro, for over a week, I have to say it is a huge improvement over Acrobat 9 Pro. I love having the tools and commenting tabs over to the right of the window and using the top menu less. It makes scrolling through PDF pages and comments two separate activities, allowing the screen refresh to be much quicker and better.
Acrobat 11 Pro is a great version!

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro crashes at start up: Runtime Error-please help

I have Adobe CS4 installed on my Windows 7 PC. In addition, I have Adobe Reader XI and InDesign 6 installed. If I remember correctly, after I installed Adobe Reader XI, I uninstalled the version of the Reader which came with CS4.
So here’s my problem: When I try to download a PDF that has been sent to me in an email or open one that already exists on my computer, this happens:
Runtime Error!
Program: C…
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
When I click OK, I get this:
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has stopped working.
If I try to Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro from my start menu, the same thing happens.
This makes no sense to me because
I don’t have the knowledge to figure this out. I have no idea what Runtime is.
Prior to a computer meltdown a couple of months ago and a complete reinstallation of everything, these very same programs all worked just fine.
I don’t understand why, when I try to open an emailed PDF, they don’t automatically open in Adobe Reader XI rather than Adobe Acrobat. Isn’t the general idea that people be able to open and view sent PDFs which they have been sent, which is what the Reader is for, and not usually edit them, which is what Adobe Acrobat is for?
If, instead of trying to open the emailed PDFs, I save them to my computer, I can launch Adobe Reader XI and open them from within that program without any problem. That’s OK if I just need to view the PDF, but I need to be able to edit PDFs too, so I must get Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to work.
Would reinstalling Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro help? Is there a way to reinstall that program only from the installation disks or would have to reinstall CS4 entirely?
I cannot open Adobe Acrobat 9.0 at all, so any solutions which must be done with the program open are not possible.
I would really appreciate some help.

SOLVED!
Resetting Internet Explorer didn't work, Reinstalling Acrobat 9.0 Pro didn't work, but changing a registry key did.
Here's where I found the solution:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error opening PDF files - Microsoft Community
Here is the relevant post, but before you try it, read my note below:
Hi,
This is known issue with Acrobat for several versions now, Adobe's current fix is just to update their software: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404597.html
The problem is with the application data being misdirected.
"The affected user has a redirected Application Data folder and as a result the network path containing the Application Data uses a UNC path that begins with \\. This UNC path causes Acrobat 9.0 or Adobe Reader 9.0 to incorrectly parse the Application Data path and give the error message."
A potential Solution would be to go into the registry. Left Click type "regedit" and right click and run the program with "run as administrator". Go to Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders and make sure see where "AppData" is pointing. If it is pointing to "%UserProfile%/Application Data" change it to point to "%UserProfile%/AppData/Roaming".
BUT, be careful about one thing: This poster seems to have accidentally used forward slashes when he should have use back slashes. Look at the very last line of his post where he advises "If it is pointing to "%UserProfile%/Application Data" change it to point to "%UserProfile%/AppData/Roaming". You'll find, or at least I did, that this key has a back slash, not a forward slash, so changing what I found: "%UserProfile%\Application Data" to "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming" worked and now Acrobat 9.0 works fine.

How can I persuade Acrobat 8.0 Pro to upgrade from cold comfort CS2 without Acrobat 7.0?

I have a Student version of CS2 Premium (including Acrobat 7.0 pro), included in the package was an upgrade version of Acrobat 8.0 Pro.
It worked well all those years on my XP. Now I had to change my system and installed Win 7. Found out that my CS2 was no longer on (de- and re-)activation terms, so I downloaded CS 2 here and read here thoroughly about the problems of my fellow sufferers before I started unpacking and installing, and I must say, the discussions here helped me a lot to avoid tricky traps and I have at least achieved to install the for my work most important parts of CS2 properly, i.e. Indesign and Photoshop. (The most important trick is to start all the 4 exes in an interval of one minute so that they lie all neatly unpacked in the target folder before or short after the first exe to unpack which is oddly No.2 has done it's unpacking and instantly following installation job, and the show can go on.)
Quite oddly, Illustrator refuses to be installed. It says "Falsches BS oder BS-Version für die Anwednung" (wrong BS or BS-Version for the application. I quoted it in German because I don't know if BS is the same term in English). But that is a minor problem, like the one with GoLive which was not even in the bundle. I downloaded it separately and tried to install it but it gives the same mistake massage. Maybe there is somebody enlightened who reads this and would like to give me a hint?
Here is what is really annoying: Acrobat 7.0 Pro was not in the download bundle because, as it has been discussed here at length, the Premium version seems not to be available. I downloaded it separately and installed it and all worked well so far.
That was the moment when I thought that I could install my upgrade version of Acrobat 8.0 on top of it. Acrobat accepted the serial no. and started to install but gave a warning that I should better uninstall 7.0 because I risked technical problems if not. I risked to not uninstall because I needed it as a proof for the upgrade license, didn't I?
But at the very end of the installation, there WAS a technical problem, a tiny black screen with a white message which I could not read so fast, and Acrobat 8.0 undid it's whole installation. I uninstalled 7.0 too, restarted the system, and got a blue screen. This whole encounter had somehow interfered with my printer's driver and maybe my GeForce driver. That was the day's smallest problem and could be fixed.
Well, leaving 7.0 uninstalled, I tried to install Acrobat 8.0 Pro again, and this time, it refused to continue after having read my serial number, because of course I had no installed proof for my license to upgrade. So it's either crash or refuse, a real unmerry-go-round dilemma, like having the cake and eat it.
Formerly, this problem did not exist because Acrobat 7.0 belonged to the bunch and could be uninstalled whithout my losing the license to upgrade because there was still the rest of the CS2 family waving the flags.
Surely, there must be a workaround here - is it possible to half uninstall Acrobat 7.0, maybe by fiddling something in the registry (I know how to save it before!) or just kicking the uncouth drivers out? But where are they hidden and what are their names? The replacement serial number given on the download side would be accepted, as we have seen.
I really do hope that one of you has already found a solution to that problem, too.
I hope I have mentioned everything necessary and there are no questions left. Thank you for your patience.
Saskia
P.S. For my biggest problem, I have been given a fine solution by the support after a long chat. After some unavailing trials to unlock the serial number they created a new SN for my Acrobat 8, and now it works fine and I am the happiest girl of the day. The first (minor) problem still remains. I have an idea and wanted to ask if you specialists think it could work. As I never made any use of version cue, maybe I don't need to install the applications as a suite. Trying to install one of the bundle as a separate application did not work, but maybe this was because of the existence of CS2? Would it help if I'd uninstall CS2 and install each application separately?

BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...

Acrobat 9.0 Pro and Design Premium - Remote Load

I have a copy of Design Premium loaded through Indiana University's agreement with Adobe. It does not include the Acrobat 9.0 Pro promised in the Design Premium description. A large part of how I use the suite depends on me having Acrobat. Can I arrange for a download seeing as I have no box?

You'll need to talk to whomever supplied the software. CS5 does include Acrobat Pro, but only as a separate installer with its own serial number.

Disable or Hide Online Support menu option from: Reader, Acrobat Standard and Pro XI 11.0.2

Hi,
I'm trying to make a custom installation for 3 applications: Adobe Reader XI 11.0.2, Acrobat Std. and Pro XI 11.0.2 and most of the options that I wanted to hide are done with the Customization Wizard but I can't hide Online Support. I didn't found yet any FeatureLockDown for this option so far. So our users can still use the Online Support options.
Notice that I tried to drop a script into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Javascripts but when you 1st open the application it has a delay and somehow you still can access it. But if you try to open it again the menu is hidden.
//HideMenu.js
//Help - Online Support
app.hideMenuItem("OnlineSupport");
But a FeatureLockDown on HKLM hive will be the best way to disable this option as users don't have access to this registry hive and some advanced users with more rights could be able to delete the .js file if they know where it is saved.
I will appreaciate your help to get this FeatureLockDown option if it exists or an alternative way.
Thanks as usual and Kind regards everyone.

Acrobat 7.0 pro will not reinstall

I have CS2 Premium on XP. Had problems with printer not supporting pdfs. After techs fixed my computer Acrobat 7.0 pro will not work right. after 3 weeks with customer support and waiting days for them to get back to me they say they can't help - don't support CS2 (wished they would told me that initially). (I use this for volunteer newsletters and do not need CS4) I uninstalled CS2 and Reinstalled it. Probablem is when the components come up to install the Acrobat 7.0 pro is greyed out and will not reinstall or unistall it. Tried to go to the Acrobat componet on my disks and just install acrobat 7.0 pro is doesn't work - error says "Wrong OS or OS version for application".
Obviously it is still recognizing the initial installation. I mention this to the Adobe tech and ask how I could remove it completely so that I could reinstall and they would not give any suggestion, just kept saying we don't support it and refered me to the forums.
I really don't want to wipe my computer clean and reinstall all my software.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to supply more details; what exactly happens when you try?

Acrobat 7.0 Pro and VISTA

Just FYI,
Acrobat 7.0 Pro does not work with Vista. It will continually ask for re-activation even though it is activated the first (and subsequent) times.
This is not a complaint. Acro 7.0 preceded (and was never intended for) Vista. Just thought it would be helpful to have this fact clear (to avoid calling customer support and being told on the SECOND call that this is the case).
Will definitely upgrade to Acro 8 or 9. Acrobat is an invaluable tool.

You may get a few responses. A few have apparently been successful with AA7 and VISTA, but I am not sure of the stability of such installations. You might want to provide a few more details of what you have run into, installation process, and such, so that they might answer. I think your data may be adequate, but if you have more it would help. The upgrade is likely a good idea in any case.
