Acrobat 7 Professional activation problem

Recently, when my user open up Acrobat 7 Professional a dialog box pop-up saying it needs to activate. I try to activate over the internet and failed. Then I made a call to Adobe and found out because the production is end-of-life. I follow the steps in this article (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l) and try to download the software from there. However, I can't find Acrobat 7 Professional (only Acrobat 7 Standard). Can anyone direct me where I can download Acrobat 7 Professional? Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. But I have another problem. I downloaded the Creative Suite 2 installer from Adobe.com then extracted all 3 installers into the same folder. I tried to install the software; however, it have only Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photo CS 2 Adobe ImageReady, and Version Cue CS2. It did not have Acrobat 7 Professional. I read the readme file it mentioned only the Creative Suite 2 Perimun Edition have Acrobat 7 Professional. What should I do now? Please advise, thank you.

The Adobe folder should be under Program Files on your system. On my Win7 system they are in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Activation problem

I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard. I purchased the original product several years ago and installed it on a personal laptop (Windows XP) in order to work from home. The XP laptop has died and I'm trying to reinsatall Acrobat from the original disk on a new Windows 7 laptop. After entering the Serial # and the Activation #, I cannot get the Authorization # in order to proceed with the installation.
I have not had any luck finding a phone number for anyone at Adobe to speak with, so I'm tossing my problem to the Adobe users. Anyone care to pick up my fumble?

Steve,
Thanks for your quick reply. Before I try to uninstall my original version of Acrobat 7.0 . . . I have some concerns, if you care to weigh in.
After purchasing the Adobe 7.0 software, I installed it on a Dell 9300 laptop (Windows XP) and have been using it with no problems ever since. Although the software still does everything I need it to, the laptop has been sick for some time. I'm afraid that an attempt to uninstall the program may expedite it's total demise. Should the uninstall process fail, I don't want to be caught in the position of NOT being allowed to reinstall it on my new Windows 7 laptop.
I no longer need the program to work from home since I am now retired. However, I have spent many hours since retiring using the Adobe program to scan, edit, and file personal records and eliminate paper.
What options do I have for reinstalling the software IF the uninstall fails? I have the original disk, key code, etc, but for fear of losing my authorization on the Windows XP laptop, I have not yet tried to install the program on a 2nd PC.
Anything you can do to keep this old brain from facing a big learning curve with the latest software is greatly appreciated.

Acrobat 7.0 activation problems

I just found my old version of Acrobat 7.0, and went ahead and installed it on my new Win7 system. The install actually went OK, but when I try to use the program, I get this pop up error message that says:
"Activation requires that you have administrative right on this computer.
Please log in as an administrator and try again, or contact your system administrator."
I am the only user, and therefore the owner/administrator of my system. I double checked the permissions, and ownership, and rechecked all of this, but I still cannot open Acrobat 7.0. Also, I have a conflict with my Outlook now (Yes, yes. I know that this is an older version of Acrobat, but it used to work fine for me)...........any ideas out there?

from start, all programs, find Acrobat, and right click it. I think the second option is to 'troubleshoot compatibility problems.' Just click that one, and follow the prompts........I think it is working just like it used to, and is fine so far..........don't forget to uninstall Adobe Reader, if you still have it installed, 'cause you will get a conflict with Outlook (if you use Outlook)........

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional - Crash Problem

The error appears when I open Acrobat, but also if I open any folder containing a PDF. The error reads "A serious error has been detected and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional cannot continue. Please re-install the application and try again." If Okay is clicked Acrobat shuts down. Have tried repair and uninstall / reinstall. Noted on some forumn web pages that I need to remove the Adobe foldes before reinstall, bu tI could not find them. Any suggestions?

The Adobe folder should be under Program Files on your system. On my Win7 system they are in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0.

Acrobat 8 Standard Activation Problems

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 8.0 on my Lenova T61 laptop, and I'm having trouble using the PDF printer within Internet Explorer. I'm getting an error saying that I need to activate Acrobat first. Acrobat opens ok, but when I go to Help, Activate, the Activate command is grayed-out.
I know that I tested it after installation, but don't remember if I ever tested IE. It continues to work ok from other apps, such as MS Office.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I completely uninstalled Acrobat, and reinstalled it, and am still having the same problem. Seems to work fine everywhere but IE.
Can anyone offer any other suggestions on this?
Thanks,

Acrobat 7.0 activation problem

I had to reinstall a copy of Acrobat 7.0 Standard. Whenever I try to activate, I get a message that I must be a system administrator and that I should log out and log back in as system admin. But I am logged in as system administrator.
I can't get past this to use the program. My copy of Acrobat is properly registered. I have the original installation disk.
Acrobat support appears to be non-existent.
What should I do?

Is there any way I may contact Adobe directly (apart from the chat which derived me to this forum) ? The information appearing on Adobe web pages has a contractual value. If Adobe does not comply with the services it is offering as of today, it is breaching the contractual relationship with their customers. If Adobe web page states that customers which own a lafwful copy of Acrobat 7 may download the program (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l ), Adobe must comply with said statement. And if it is not willing to comply it must modify said statement (but this change would only have an effect for the future not for past cases).
In addiition, we a have a lawful and legitimate licensed copy (we acquired it and may show the invoice) which was running perfecty well untill I unistalled it last 31st July 2014. Adobe should have sent information to customers advising that if they uninstalled the program they would not be able to install it again!!! If Adobe has not, acting in goodwill it must restore the functionality of the program.
I cannot admit that this is the end of it. Adobe must respond and provide me with a solution!!!

Acrobat 7 Pro activation problem

Acrobat 7 activation servers have been deactivated, according to
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
Adobe punts you to
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads
However, that page only includes the download for Acrobat 7 Standard. I purchased Pro, and need a couple of its features.
Any ideas how I can get Acrobat 7 Pro to install and activate? Also, I recently upgraded this machine to Windows 8.
Thanks.

You can also find a download for Acrobat 8 Pro on the same page. As Mylenium stated though you run into difficulties running Acrobat 8 or 7 on a modern operating system.

Hi Gbilsing,
Please launch any other product which is part of the CCM or Creative suite. Then, deactivate it by choosing Help > Deactivate. Quit the application.
Then, launch Acrobat and accept the EULA.
Then, for the CCM subscription product, launch it and select License This Software to enable the CCM product again.

Activation screen missing after reinstall of Acrobat 7 Professional

Acrobat 7 Professional ran fine on my XP (SP3) computer for several years. Recently, upon launch, it started to display an Adobe Activation window with an error message telling me that it couldn't continue and to please reinstall it. I finally got around to reinstalling over the holidays, but the same window with the error message pops up. The regular activation screen (the one with my serial number and an activation code) never appears.
I've reinstalled and "repaired" at least 10 or 12 times. I've also read all the tech notes on activation problems and tried 90% of the suggestions (ran a check disk on the hard drive, defragged disk, deleted old Adobe Reader programs, reinstalled to the root directory instead of the default Program Files, ran a Registry Cleaner, etc. etc.). I ran the Adobe License Manager 2.70 patch, and I still get the error. I even installed Acrobat on my laptop (Win 2000) to make sure the Acrobat CD wasn't damaged (it installed fine and I was able to activate it from the activation screen).The only suggestion I didn't try was "reformat the disk and install only Windows and Adobe software." No, thanks.
When I launch Acrobat on my desktop and get the Activation error window, the Task Manager shows two related processes: Adobelmsvc.exe and Adobelm_Cleanup.0001. The Task Manager on my laptop, on the other hand, shows Adobelmsvc.exe and Adobelm_Cleanup (not with the digits 0001, although the difference may have to do with the difference between Win2K and XP). I don't know if this has any significance.
The Activation error pops up almost instantly after launch, but I've tried to quickly open the Help drop-down menu before the error appears, and I notice that the Activate option is grayed out.
This is a legit version of Acrobat that I purchased directly from Adobe, and I feel sure if I could just get the activation screen to appear, I could activate with no problems. I tried calling the phone activation folks at Adobe, but they sent me to Tech Support. Natually, Tech Support told me the software was no longer supported and to search the forums, which I've done.
Before I totally give up on this, I was hoping someone could suggest an activation solution.
Thanks,
AKT

Okay, problem solved.
I uninstalled my Comodo Firewall. Apparently recent updates to Comodo are incompatible with Acrobat.

PROBLEM: Acrobat 8 Professional on Vista Ultimate

Hello,
I have a fresh-installed copy of Vista Ultimate released by Dell. I installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 and all went well. It's working. Then I installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. Installation went well. But when I try to open the program it opens a white window (that ocupies about 70% of the monitor surface) that closes immediately (not even 1 second). I'm not able to see any window title or any other detail.
I tried to search for this problem on other forums but I couldn't find any solution. I also tried to fix, then reinstall, then reinstall forcing trial mode. Nothing worked. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Later Edit: I've managed to do a print screen when the window was opening.. It has the title loaded: "Adobe Acrobat Professional" and it has the falldown menus (File Edit View Document...) loaded... And that's all... It's all white . Even the window name in the taskbar doesn't appear. Also Windows Vista doesn't give me any error, and it doesn't say that Acrobat has stopped working or anything like this.

I guess it's the latest version since it was downloaded yesterday from adobe website. I think they've integrated those updates in the setup package.
Anyway I've installed "Adobe Acrobat 8 licensing service update (Windows Vista only)" ... as the others were language patches. But I don't have in the Services nothing related to "FNP" ... just FLEXnet Licensing Service... which is active and started. and I followed the steps (I think): started cmd as administrator, and run the program... and I got:
c:\Licensing-Service Patch>InstAS.exe
Trying to install anchor service...
Installation succeeded.
... but no Service added... even my Windows Defender didn't say anything about some program trying to do some changes... this seemed wierd...
Tried to do right click on InstAS.exe and "Run as Administrator".. same thing. I mention that Adobe was closed (also acrotray and acrodist). Still no service or process with that name: FNPLicensingservice . Also did a search on C:\ Drive for "FNPLicensingservice" ... nothing matched.

Activating Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on new computer when old computer died and cannot deactivate

My computer died with acrobat professional 8 installed. When I tried to install and activate acrobat 8 professional on my new computer, it would not activate until I deactivated the software on my old computer. My old computer is completely dead and therefore I cannot deactivate the software. Please advise me.

Customer service is terrible. They don't give us the tools to help ourselves, so we are FORCED to call their service number. Then we get transferred 3 times, then disconnected - just to have to repeat the process again. Adobe recorded phone messages advises "due to high call volume, estimated wait time is 12 minutes". An HOUR AND A HALF later while still waiting on hold, I get disconnected.
I've tried the customer portal. They CLOSED my case without resloving anything or even commenting!
Where is Adobe's accountability? They don't mind charging high prices for their products, and they certainly wouldn't accept me telling them they'll have to call my 800# and wait on hold in order to get their payment. But once we purchase their products we are a prisoner of this process. There is no web interface to deactivate products. Hard drive crashes do not permit the manual deactivation on our end.
Adobe needs to either answer their phone without disconnecting me, answer their case number number without closing it for no reason, or give us - the customer - the tools to deactivate our own products. If activation can be done over the internet upon installation - then deactivation can't be much more difficult.
I honestly can't imagine how it can be legal to sell a product then cripple an owner from using it.

Problems creating a PDF file w/ Word 2000 + Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Hi all,
we have a problem with some of our word files. When trying to create a PDF file w/ Word 2000 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional by pressing on the Acrobat button in Word, sometimes the PDF distiller gets stuck and doesn't create a PDF file. When pressing <Alt>+<F9> we see that the file is overcrowded with fields, e.g.:
{PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark"} { PRINT \p para "[ /EMC pdfmark [ /StPop pdfmark" }
{ PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /StPNE pdfmark" } { PRINT \p para "[ /StBMC pdfmark" ] { PRINT \p para "[ /Subtype /P /Title () /StPNE pdfmark}
etc.
When deleting all of these fields it is possible to create a PDF file (which is quite a nuisance). Does anybody know what these fields mean and esp. what can be done to stop Word/Acrobat writing the text felds into our documents?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Chris

All of the marks are created to provide the tags and other items related to bookmarks, links, and accessibility. Sometimes there is a problem if your TEMP folder does not have enough room. You get these when you use PDF Maker (the create PDF icon in WORD). You can select the preferences in PDF Maker and deselect a lot of the items, particularly tags that tend to bloat the PDF but are useful for accessibility or going back to WORD (you should always keep the WORD file anyway). That may solve the problem. If you do not want any of the extra info, then print to the Adobe PDF printer instead.
