Acrobat 7 prof and windows 8.1

Hi to all, I have used this programe for years now, and do not require an updated version - as for me it does a great job....that is until Windows 8 updated to 8.1 and now I cannot open the programe. It reads... Unable to open application. Error (0xc00000fd). Had Adobe got a fix for this so as I can continue to use acrobat 7?

Hi wilmamillar
Acrobat 7 is not supported on Windows 8/8.1
Hence, We would recommend you to update your Acrobat version.
If you want to view your PDF Files only, Please install Adobe Reader 11.
To Download and Install, please refer : http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/otherversions/

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 7 and windows 7

    keep getting a message that says not compatible with this version of windows contact adobe?

    Hi xdfgnxfgh,
    The error message itself is correct as Acrobat 7 was not written for Windows 7.
    You can try installing it on Windows XP and it would work.
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi,
    I've tried reporting this twice to Adobe's customer support. The first time they told me to upgrade to version 8.1 (I upgraded to 8.15). The second time they said they don't support versions older than the two most recent versions. The one I have is from CS3 so don't understand why they would say this!
    Anyway, I'm hoping someone can help me here!
    After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 and reinstalling Acrobat I now find that it won't create PDF's and says that the PDFmaker files are missing. I tried reinstalling and upgrading to version 8.15 but still have the same error message although when I choose "Adobe PDF" from the print menu I can get it to make the PDF no problem!
    Anyone else experienced this or know a way around it? Also the links in Office don't work at all now.
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Well after a hunt around the net I found this guys page and it seems to be working fine now!!

  • Acrobat XI and Windows Vista

    Subscription version of Acrobat XI will not download onto my Windows Vista system.  Can I get Acrobat X instead?

    adobe doesn't sell older software versions.  you can download a trial, though.
    did you use compatibility mode (xp sp 3 - for 32 bit, xp sp2 - for 64 bit)  and, if so, what problem are you having with acrobat xi?  (and is that pro or standard?)

  • Acrobat 8 and Windows 8.1 Registration Problems

    I have installed on a Windows 8.1 operating system an Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Product. The user is not administrator on his computer. Each time the program opens he has the error for Registration Unsuccessful. The product is activated properly.  Does Windows 8.1 has compatibility issues with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional or i have to do the registration with administrator profile and then the user works properly with his account?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi g.argridiotis,
    Acrobat 8 has never been tested on windows 8.
    I would suggest to upgrade to the latest version of Acrobat, which has lot more features and is fully tested with windows 8.

  • Acrobat X and Windows 8

    Can you use Adobe Acrobat X standard on Windows 8?

    yes, but you may need to use compatibility mode if you have trouble installing.

  • I have Adobe acrobat prof and the Acrobat.exe*32 file continues to run constantly. Won't close

    Acrobat.exe will not stop running.  Uses all resources and computer is very, very sluggish.  If I close it in task manager - processes, it simply reopens and continues to use all resources.

    Continuing to run with all the resources is not normal. I would try a repair to Acrobat, possibly after a reboot. It may be that Acrobat is waiting for a file it was dealing with to close and something is preventing the closure.

    This means that your scanner software or driver is not correctly installed.

  • Secure websites automatically opens Acrobat Prof 6

    I am having a very unusual, yet very annoying problem with Acrobat Professional 6. After I updated Adobe Reader to version 8, Acrobat automatically launches every time I try to logon to two of my banking websites. When I type in my username and password on the banking site, Acrobat attempts to launch, but it gives me an error message which says: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit and try again". When I click OK it gives me another error message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit and try again." Everytime I click OK, it keeps repeating the error about 5 or 6 times in a row, until finally I get into my bank account. The thing is, I am not trying to view any PDF files, I just want to logon to my bank's website. This is extremely frustrating. I have tried uninstalling Acrobat Prof and Adobe Reader, but that does not help. I am running Vista and I know Acrobat 6 was not entirely compatible with Vista, but I have loaded the recent patch and it has worked fine on Vista for some time. Anyone have any idea what is causing this and have any solutions? Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    John, I read through the forum you referred me to and was surprised at how prevalent this issue was.
    The good news is that I discovered a fix that worked for me:

    I was previously running Reader 8 with Acrobat Prof 6 which was causing a conflict. I downloaded and installed Reader 9 and voila! No more opening Acrobat 6 when I try to login in to secure websites.
    Angela, not sure if this will solve your issue, but it is certainly worth a try.
    Thanks again for your help John.
