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.

Macbook pro will not reinstall yosemite

I have had major problem with my Macbook Pro since downloading Yosemite from the beta version. it has been randomly shutting down then not turning on. When it had managed to work it is showing error on Hdd.
Tried to fix it but because of the shutting down issues nothing has worked.
Tried to boot from USB (Mavericks) but it says there was an error in the installation. Decided to wipe the Hdd and start again. Still saying that there was an error in installation and now will not connect to the internet. Unable to get past this and am going round in circles.
Any advice please!

you're not the only one, i'm guessing maybe apple's servers are having issues unless you've made some hw changes to the machine?

You can try running the CS3 cleanup Script: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
I'm not certain, but I think it removes earlier versions as well. Search this forum for more guidance on usage. There are undocumented settings you may need.
The Microsoft installer cleanup script, which is run in conjunction with the Adobe script, may actually be enough in this case, though, so perhaps better to start with that.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
If you think you are going to run either of these, I'd suggest uninstalling using control panel first, then run the scripts, and finally do a completely new fresh install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

After the last update that was pushed out by Adobe, my Acrobat 9 Pro will not generate a PDF file fr

After the last update that was pushed out by Adobe, my Acrobat 9 Pro will not generate a PDF file from; [right click], Combine files into one PDF multiple files chosen in the explorer. A message pops up asking if I want to run repair. Answering in the afirmative results in another message stating files are missing. And we are back at square one.

What is the exact error? Else you could always reinstall your software.

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)
Acrobat Pro 9 will not install (FAILED), although every other program on the CS4 DVDs did install properly.
I have followed the instructions, and have tried with no programs running, not even virus protection (which is an insane thing for Adobe to demand of a product being installed where the installation routine is expecting an Internet connection): FAILED.
I uninstalled my Acrobat 6 Pro, (a standalone Pro version that I had to have a few years ago.) I uninstalled that working program knowing I had no idea where my original Adobe Acrobat CD is located, so I was essentially cutting myself off of Acrobat Pro if the Acrobat 9 Pro install continued to fail.
I reported this to Adobe support online.
I have followed the instructions to disable startup items and services, then tried the Acrobat 9 Pro install: FAILED.
At that point, I gave up installing Acrobat 9 Pro. I didn't have any more time to screw with it - I would re-visit the installation failure later.
Lo and behold, a client sent me a PDF file of a brochure, in an email, and I had to grab some text from it to put on his website (Done in Dreamweaver CS4.) Well, damn, now I'll have to go back and get that install to work...FAILED!
Suspecting a problem in the installation routine on the DVD, I decided to download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro. So, I did. It downloaded and installed without a hiccup, and I had Acrobat 9 Pro working for 30 days...
I did what I had to do, using the trial version, then figured I would re-visit the installation issue later, when I had a few hours to dedicate to all the hell of calling Adobe software support, handholding, maybe registry edits, multiple reboots, and multiple attempts at doing everything again, just so the support person would know that I did follow all the steps correctly to prove thw outcome is sill FAILED!
Oh crap, I got another PDF file. No problem, I thought, I don't need to edit the PDF, just read it. When I tried to open the file, Acrobat 9 Pro plastered a screen over the program - the screen saying my 30 day trial version has now run out, demanded a serial number, or quit. My CS4 serial number would not activate it, and so I had to quit, not even being able to read the PDF file.
So, I un-installed the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro that had installed without a hitch and had worked flawlessly for 30 days.
Now I'm going to have to visit hell, and get the software that I paid hundreds of dollars for to work...
Please STOP and NOTE: Acrobat 9 Pro installed perfectly from the downloaded Internet version. What does that tell you? There are no operating system issues, no hardware compatibility issues (which I knew anyway, as the OS and hardware is up to date.) Even more significantly, there is no issue with the Windows registry, or other versions of Adobe Acrobat that had been installed before in the machine. My conclusion was that it has to be a problem with the installation routine on the CS4 disks.
So, I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe personnel: software support, to customer service, to sales, to customer service, and back to sales. After software support came to the conclusion that I needed to UNINSTALL ALL OF CS4, and run a clean-up utility, I knew I had to try getting a new set of DVDs and hope the installation routine problems/bugs had been worked out.
After being batted back and forth by Adobe Customer Service and Adobe Sales, I finally got someone to agree to send a set of DVDs to me.
I got the DVDs. I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: FAILED
As I told the software support person, I do not want to un-install the entire CS4 suite. I have all of those programs working fine, and have about a dozen web sites within Dreamweaver CS4 painstakingly set up and active, and some of them are current projects that I am working on daily. I also have multiple extensions installed, and spent quite a bit of time getting all of those programs set up for my preferences and my work flow. I DO NOT WANT to uninstall the entire suite of applications to get Acrobat 9 Pro to install.
And the conclusion of the "sophisticated" Adobe Support Advisor as to what specifically was the instalation issue?
Adobe Support Advisor
The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
System Information :
Operating System = Windows XP
Locale = en
At this point, what I want is to know what registry keys to edit and which folder(s) to delete to eliminate previous traces of Acrobat. In other words, just exactly the tiny piece of the "clean-up utility" that I need to run in order to allow the *Y#^%@#&#(& installation routine to work for Acrobat 9 Pro. I have no intention of uninstalling Dreamweaver CS4, as that is my business livlihood, and I know that my Dreamweaver CS4 client files/sites could not be read by earlier Dreamweaver versions. Asking me to uninstall Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is insane. Your bad installation routine is not my fault, and you cannot expect me spend countless hours getting all those programs set up the way I want and with all my client/work files working correctly and all the extensions set up properly. So, if Adobe software support refuses to tell me what registry keys need to be changed, then I want Adobe Sales to send me a new, standalone version of Acrobat 9 Pro on disk.

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:
Programs that are currently running on your computer may be interfering with the installation processDisable programs that might be interfering with the installation process. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start

On the General tab, click Selective startup, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box.
Click Services, click Hide all Microsoft services, and then click Disable all.
Click OK, and then click Restart.
Try running your software program installation.

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

There's an old saying. If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup. That's just lesson #1. Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update. Not a good thing.
OK, I'm sure you know this. It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
You're pretty much in a bad place. My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed). You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps. I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
Good luck.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?" I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes. Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing. In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
Thanks for your interest in helping!

My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred. You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system. Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane. In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere. Select Reset printing system. You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

Acrobat Pro will not install

Okay, excuse my lack of patience. But I have now called Adobe customer servic (in India, and I'm in the U.S.) three times now, and I have not resolved this issue! I am a Creative Cloud member, and my Adobe Acrobat Pro will NOT work. On top of that, the Adobe Application Manger is $%@ useless. I get errors constantly. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.1. My other Adobe software works. But Acrobat Pro has not worked at all since I purchase Creative Cloud a few months ago. At any point, if Adobe would like to fix this issue, that would be great. Like I said, I've already called three times in the last two months. And the low level tech support guys are useless. I spend an hour or two on the phone with them and the issue is NOT resolved.

So, it totally appears as if it was a network issue. The corporate network where I work is quite likely the culprit. Where I was thrown off is that since I have admin rights on my computer, I can install software. But using Adobe Application Manager to install Adobe software wasn't working. And to make matters worse, there didn't appear to be any way to install Acrobat Pro for Mac without using AAM. The workaround that I used previously was to install the trial versions of Adobe software, and then just register them using my username and password. But the workaround for being able to install everything using AAM was to bring my computer home and download from my home network. Unfortunately, Adobe tech support didn't suggest this during the three times that I called them. But it doesn't matter now, problem is resolved.
