Acrobat 7 Pro requires activation from time to time

I have installed Acrobat 7 Pro v7.1.0 on a netbook.
Now, Acrobat requires activations. The time distance between activation requirements gets shorter and shorter.
The Error Message (translated from german to english):
The configuration of your computer was changed since last activation
If you want to use your product furtgher press OK to reactivate it again
for the new system configuration.
After pressing OK the activation process starts and is finished with a "Thank you for activating".
The error occurs sometimes 5 timesc a day !!!
I am wondering how often i can activate the product.
I have NO VMware or other virtual machine software running on this netbook.
I've already reinstalled the software. Same error.

XP 64-bit is unsupported. However, when these problems occur under Acrobat 7, there was a patch downloadable from an Adobe site. It was only made available through the Activation hotline, since it required a reset of the Acrobat activation settings on the Adobe activation server. I do not know if they Adobe makes this patch available to XP 64-bit users or if it will solve the problem in this environment.

CS6 Acrobat Pro requires activation -- AGAIN!

I bought CS6, installed it and ran it happily for two months, and then suddenly it said that Acrobat Pro was not activated. I posted a note in this Forum and was told to reinstall it with the same original activation key, which I did. It worked.
Now, two months later, it is suddenly telling me again that Acrobat Pro is not activated. I guess I know what to do (deinstall and reinstall), but this is very annoying to say the least. What is going on? Are you doing some automatic update which is wiping out the activation?
I am finalizing a book tonight, wanted to submit it tomorrow, but I guess I get to go to the office tomorrow, deinstall and reinstall, and hope I can get this book submitted on Monday.
Arghh.

I have my license number, so I thought I would open Adobe Pro X and activate it, but when I ask to open the application it simply does not come up. Nothing. No error message, nothing.
I checked again. I bought the software in mid-July and installed it shortly after receiving it.
The first episode like this happened 6 weeks later. My posting will be somewhere in this Forum. At that time, it not only did not come up, bot it actually disappeared off my system by itself -- it was no longer listed in the list of available applications on my system.
Today it is listed as an application, and has a list of the most recently accessed documents, but I cannot get the application to open at all.
I even tried right-clicking and checking the Properties for the application, and asked it to run in Administrator mode, but again it just disappeared off my screen and no application started.

I just paid for, and downloaded Acrobat Pro, and it 'quits unexpectedly' each time I try to open it-b4 it even gets to the opening menu-. Any solutions??

Did you install it in the administrator account with anti-virus disabled?

Error installing Acrobat Pro 7.0 from CS2 downloads

While attempting to install Acrobat Pro 7.0 from the CS2 downloads I am able to enter the serial number and launch the install but the install stops with an error 1310 which I can choose to ignore but then I get an error 1304 where I need to cancel the install.
Why?

Is Acrobat Pro required in order to be able to REMOVE fonts?

I need to remove fonts from files I am receiving from clients overseas in order to be able to upload the files to U.S. Patent Office for filing. (The PTO job options file embeds referenced-but-non-embedded fonts, but certain Japanese fonts that are referenced in the source file won't embed, and that is preventing the upload.) I have Acrobat 9, Standard. I was looking at tutorials on-line for guidance as to how to strip such fonts, but don't seem to find the various menu items that are referenced in the tutorials. Do I need Acrobat PRO to do such editing?
Thanks

If possible the task would require use of a Preflight. Preflights are only available with Acrobat Pro.
A quick look through the available Fixups Preflight choices does not show a "remove fonts".
A note re: embedding fonts.
Acrobat Pro (starting with Acrobat Pro 9.x) provides a Fixup to "Embed Fonts" and a "Embed fonts (even if text is invisible)".
As with any routine processes an existing PDF to embed fonts the following applies (text is that present with the "Embed fonts" Fixup):
"If a PDF uses fonts which are not embedded into the PDF file they are embedded as subsets using this fixup.
It is required that the respective fonts are available to the OS, either in the system folder or activated via a font manager.
Some fonts may have a flag that their license does not allow embedding. In this case the fonts are not embedded into the PDF."
If you had Acrobat Pro and the Japanese fonts installed on your local machine you could embed them (provided the font license permits this).
Alternatively, you client could use process the content into PDF such that the PDF had all fonts embedded and then sent that PDF to you.
Or, the client uses the Acrobat Pro Preflight Fixup to embed the Japanese fonts in issue (this presumes the fonts are installed and available on their local machine).
Be well...

Trying to transfer Acrobat Pro 8.0 from 1 pc to another

Our engineer is trying to transfer the Acrobat Pro 8.0 licence from 1 pc to another however it will not accept the licence for the new install. There does not seem to be a way tp deactivate the licence from the old pc.

If there is no way to de-activate Acrobat from an old PC then either
a) it is part of a volumen license or
b) it is part of a Suite
You cannot install Acrobat if it is separate from a Suite without installing the Suite and activating it as part of a suite.

Problem exporting data in Acrobat Pro 9.0 from secured response form

Hello,
I made a form in Livecycle 9.0 and am distributing it through Acrobat Pro 9.0 - using Acrobat.com's form distribution application - in several cycles to see how varying the levels of security of the form will affect users (the folks who will be filling out the forms), once they get the forms. I want to see how many passwords they have to enter, what they can do, what they cannot do with the form.. I've been sending unsecured and secured forms out, to test.
The problem I have now is, when I receive my permissions protected, secured forms back, I cannot EXPORT the data. Both the "Export" and "Archived" buttons are greyed out, and even when I remove the security settings from File--> Portfolio Properties, nothing changes.
I'm locked out of the collected data!
It's easy to export data from unsecured response forms (without permissions protection), but I would prefer to limit the amount of manipulation users can do to the forms (aside from commenting, filling them out, and signing them).
The secured forms perform great on the Acrobat Reader - user (form-filler) end, restricting printing, modifying text, etc, but they return to me in Acrobat Pro inert. I'm completely stumped to how I can get data out of them. I would sure appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Chenster

Cannot install Acrobat pro. Istalling from the cloud gives the following message

Acrobat pro has vanished from my computer

In my Creative Cloud updates it shows that my Acrobat Pro is updated but it doesn't show in my apps and when I go to the folder there are only update exe files.

You don't need to back up programs. At least Adobe Applications cannot be installed from any backup via migration, only from the original installer.
Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner is a small program which will work with any program from Adobe since Creative Suite 3 and some other applications from the eLearning Suite up to the latest version of the Creative Cloud.
It seems to me that you are somehow in a developer mode, which should not be the case for normal user, I would strongly recommend to uninstall the applications, clean it up, restart your computer, check if all files are removed and if that is the case (if not delete those folders and empty trash) install it from the original installer and run all updates which are available.

Hi helentar,
Are you getting a specific error message? And how are you converting the file? Are you using the Save As command in Acrobat Pro, or using the ExportPDF online service?

Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 - Long Startup Times?

I did a search and did not get any relevant hits.
When I start a pdf file there ia a 15 to 20 second delay before I see the open file. Why is this and how do I make opening pdf files quicker?

I'm still unable to update Acrobat Professional without doing a complete re-install of the product.
Has this issue been resolved by Adobe?
Everytime there is an update to Adobe Acrobat Professional, I have to do a complete re-install before I can apply an update.
Thanks.

Acrobat Pro 11 activation

Question: Outside of the application telling you it needs to be activated, is there another way to verify the product is activated? A reg key, file that you can check.
thanks.

Hi Ryan,
The We regret to hear that you are .key is encrypted for security reasons else it will be very east to tamper the activation status of the software.
The activation details are usually stored in the cache.db file in the location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache and the Adobe PCD Folder.

Failure to install Acrobat Pro Windows from cs3

I installed cs3 yesterday and it installed all apps but Acrobat Pro...I tried 3 times to install just Acrobat Pro but each time it stated "failed to install" - what can I do to install this? Prior to this I ahd cs3 installed correctly (including Acrobat Pro) for a long while and all worked fine. However, last week I suddenly had problems with Acrobat (it gave runtime error) so I uninstalled and tried to reinstall...then all the above occured. At one point (just to view a doc) I installed current reader version from online...but promptly uninstalled it to try and reinstall Pro again...any help would be appreciated! Kathy

Thanks...this worked...I am now closer than before to re-using the
software...however, now I have a new error message on Acrobat Pro from CS3:
"Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"
When I select "yes" the system takes for ever to do nothing. Any insight on
this?
Kathy
