Acrobat 7 Professional reinstall

I recently got a new computer and have transferred my software to it. Unfortunately, Acrobat did not transfer cleanly. I found the install software and have attempted to install from the original CD but get the following message - 'The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.'
Can you assist? I am working on a Windows XP system.

Create a directory (folder) on your hard drive and copy everything from the CD (including sub-folders) to that directory
Run setup.exe from there... this sometimes works
Also... if you have accounts, make sure you run as Administrator

Acrobat 8 Professional: reinstalling PDF printer

I've been having trouble using "Save as PDF" in Framemaker 8 on my newly installed Windows 7/64 system.
Something somewhere told me to delete the Adobe PDF printer and run a rebuild.
I'm now unable to recreate a working instance of Adobe PDF printer, but I cannot set it up properly.
I'm able to Create a printer called "Adobe PDF"
In Printer Properties, Ports Tab, I can add a Port but only have 2 choices: Local Port and Standard TCP/IP. If I select new Port Type, it asks for the printer INF information. This is where it is: "c:\apps\adobe\cs3 web premium\acrobat 8.0\acrobat\xtras\adobepdf\adobepdf.inf". However, the clicking OK produces 3 instances of "An error occurred installing port monitor 'Adobe PDF Port'. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance.
Any ideas how to reinstall the Adobe PDF printer?
Thanks in advance.

You will simply have to do the updates of AA8. I think it was version 8.1 for XP. I have no idea if it will work with Win7 X64 or not. The updates or under the help menu. If you cannot get there, go to the Adobe downloads>updates (upper right of screen) and find the Win Acrobat updates. You need to install them in order after the version you have. If you don't know about updates, then you likely have 8.0.

Reinstall Acrobat 8 Professional, Macintosh

Acrobat 8 Professional, Macintosh
I have my license and I need to reintall due to a hard drive failaure. (I am reinstalling all my software.)
I can not find a link to download.
Thanks

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

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.

After reinstalling Acrobat 8 professional on new Windows 7, I occasionally get a notice that I need to Register the product but the Registration always fails; how do I resolve?

Where can I find a download site for Acrobat X Standard, and Acrobat 9 Professional.

I purchased Acrobat X and Acrobat 9 Professional, and no longer have media to re-install. Where can I find a site that will allow me to download? I have serials/license codes as they are both registered with Adobe.
h

I have same problem as above, managed to get through the jungle of Adobe stuff took me long to find a link to download of Acrobat 9 Pro which I purchased long ago (for another strange reason the re-download link is not available from my order history page in my account). When I click on the Acrobat 9 Pro download link (on the page above) this is what I get:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://trials2.adobe.com/Applications/Acrobat/APRO/9/trials/AcroPro90_efg.exe?" on this server.
Reference #18.27174b17.1371522008.cc20b12
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks!!
BTW It is absolutely impossible to get hold of a customer service in Adobe, I recall once chatting with someone asking how to reinstall my product (which I paid money for!) and was told off by a "customer service officer" that I cant reinstall it if I dont "deactivate" on another machine, which crashed long ago and was disposed of, he was very patronising and the whole experience was very unpleasant. This is just to share experience.

Adobe acrobat 8 professional crashes in mountain lion

I just bought a new IMAC with mountain lion. I realize some of the older programs no longer work with it but I reinstalled adobe acrobat 8 professional and it does not seem compatable. I tried downloading an update and a patch but it constantly freezes, trying to use the text edit doesn't work and crashes the program or locks it up. I need to be able to edit PDFS and the program no longer works. Any suggestions?

You could try using spotlight to search for PDF files... short of that, you may have to ask Adobe.

Need to download Acrobat 9 Professional

I have purchased in the past a download license for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. I had to wipe the computer that this was installed on and now I need to reinstall it. Where can I get a download for Acrobat 9 Professional for Windows?

Assuming you are using Windows you can locate the download at http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html.

Acrobat 7 Professional - PDF Writer errors out in Print Queue

Hello,
I'm an IT Technician. We've just imaged many of our machines and several of our secretaries use Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional so I re-deployed that application, along with the 7.1.3 update. Everything works fine for me, including some of our test accounts. For this secretary, though, every time she goes to print something to 'Adobe PDF' the progress bar flashes quickly, it errors out in the print queue, and no document is created. If I log in, or use another account with similar rights to her's, it works just fine. I have removed Adobe Reader from it, done all the update, even gave her full control over that printer but still no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

When you print to the Adobe PDF printer, it normally creates a PS file in a specific location and AcroTray then notes the PS file and proceeds to finish the job of calling Distiller. Doing the Print-to-file was just to check that the basic functions work. If they do not, then which one fails - the print to file or Distiller. These steps should help isolate the problem and give you some direction to go. Sometimes it is just easier to reinstall or repair the current setup. If the person is not logged in as an administrator, is it possible that the installation restricted the application to only administrators?

Acrobat 7 Professional Uninstall

The Acrobat 7.1 update says that it includes all previous updates and that all you need is 7.0.0. I have Acrobat 7 Professional on XP Professional that is giving me all kinds of fits. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and manually apply updates. I cannot open the program or any associated with it, distiller, etc. I am able to apply update 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 without error code. There is no 7.0.4 and when I apply 7.0.5, which is supposed to have previous patches included, I get error message, "No valid sequence could be found for the set of patches."
I get error message, "Internal Error 2716. Comp_PDFmaker_Office" every time I turn on the computer or try to open any window, browser, My documents, Control panel. The list goes on. I have uninstalled Office. I believe I need a cleaner to get rid of all instances of Adobe on my computer. Any Suggestions? or links?

Do you have Acrobat Reader also installed on your system? If so, you should also remove it using the Windows Install Cleanup Utility. Adobe strongly recommend that you not have Reader installed on the system where Acrobat is also installed.

Can Acrobat 8 Professional coexist with FrameMaker 8.0?

I run FrameMaker 8.0p273 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop running Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 2.
When I try to install Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a setup message stating "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed. Setup will now terminate."
I also have Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed. (I had thought that Reader might have been the application that Acrobat was complaining about, but uninstalling Reader didn't help.)
I have created PDF files from FrameMaker 8 in the hopes of using the commenting and sticky-note features, but the PDFs that I create do not have that functionality.
Should I uninstall FrameMaker 8, install Acrobat 8 Professional, and then reinstall FrameMaker?
Or is there some other way to get the full functionality of Acrobat 8 that my FrameMaker installation seems to think I already have?

Thanks, Arnis: Your suggestion worked well. Here are the exact steps I took:
1. Uninstalled FrameMaker 8, the PDF Creation Add-On, and the two FM patches I'd installed (8.0p266 and 8.0p273). (I might not have needed to uninstall the two patches, but I wanted a clean slate.)
2. Installed Acrobat 8 Professional.
3. Reinstalled FM 8 without the PDF Creation Add-On. (There was a separate window to choose the latter installation, which I declined.)
4. Reinstalled patches p266 and p273.
5. Restarted my system.
6. Restarted FM 8, opened a FM file, and successfully created a PDF file (File > Save As PDF).
Thanks for your help--
Kevin

Print problem (Acrobat 7 Standard, Acrobat 8 Professional)

I have Acrobat 7 Standard Croatian. When we print any pdf document, we get strange characters (image: http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd238/JelenaSi/print_error.gif ). I tried to reinstall, clean everything, print on 3 different printers and the same thing happens. Also, I tried to print files with Acrobat 8 Professional, Reader 7 and 8(2 days I'm installing and reinstalling that computer!)and all of that programs print something strange. All other computers in our company works just fine...
Is there any solution for this? Regional and language settings are set to croatian.
I don't want to reinstall windows(XP SP2) because of some complicated ebank installations...
Thanks in advance.

Be sure to embed the fonts. I am not quite sure of the features using other languages, but embedding fonts is the first step usually.

Error "Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched" | CS3

Hi Everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro with 10.7.5 and CS3. My Acrobat 8 Professional won't open and gives the error message "Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
I already had Photoshop open when I got this message, so I googled my error message and found this Error "Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched" | CS3
I followed the instructions for Solution 2:
Solution 2: Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders (Mac OS only)
Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder).
Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
Acrobat
Adobe PCD
Adobe PDF
Important: Do not delete these folders.
Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
Enter your serial number when prompted.
When I entered the serial number that goes with my software it said it was invalid and I still couldn't open Acrobat, but now none of my Creative Suite would work as they all said they weren't registered. Thank goodness for Time Machine!!!! So I have reinstalled the folders and all the other components are working again, but I still can't open Acrobat. HELP!!!
I hope someone can tell me what to do. Thank you.

Thank you Michael. It worked

Mac Acrobat 8 Professional crash

After a HDD replacement and a fresh install of 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on my Mac, I reinstalled my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to work perfectly pre-crash. Now Adobe crashes after 20-30 seconds with an enormous crash report. Won't run for love nor money. Worked before. Works on other Mac 10.6.8 machines around the office installed with the same disk, by the same person (me). Won't go - Broken. Can anyone decipher the crash reports, or suggest a fix (other than pay Adobe more money to upgrade)? If I pay money, it won't be to Adobe......
