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!!

  • 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.

  • No Protection Tools! I have enabled enhanced security. This is Acrobat XI on Windows 7 64-bit. Did same install on a Win8 server and it's fine.

    I just want the protection tools to show on the Tools dropdown! So I can use them...

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks for putting me in the right place. I'm not much of an
    online-community person!
    Here's what happened after your email:
    1. I went into Acrobat and clicked the down arrow as you described. I
    previously had been clicking in the View menu. I saw the Protection
    tools and I was so excited.
    2. So then I clicked on "allow multiple panels open" whereupon the
    Protection tools disappeared! They did not reappear when I unclicked the
    "allow multiple panels open".
    3. Remembered that I hadn't reinstalled the updates after reinstalling
    Acrobat in hopes that would fix this problem, so I installed the
    updates. I'm now on 11.0.07.
    Sadly, still no protection tools appearing in either the View-> Toolsets
    or the down-arrow in the upper-right corners of the Tools panel. Bummer.
    This is so strange, since the same installation worked great on our Win8
    server!

  • Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

    Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
    Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
    Rebooting phone/laptop/router
    Disabling ipv6
    Disabling all networks except the one curently on
    Re-installing iTunes
    Restoring iPhone
    No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • TS1717 iTunes 11 and Windows 7 (32 bit). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed").

    iTunes 11.0.1.12 and Windows 7 (32 bit, latest version). iTunes crashes frequently (Windows message : "iTunes has stopped working and will be closed"). I may be trying to search for an App. or book (or anything else), trying to access iTunes store, checking for updates to Apps., inputting my password, etc. etc. I have uninstalled iTunes several times, reinstalled several times, but the error persists. I tried the iTunes 10 suggested fix of running in safe mode, but iTunes again crashed when I was trying to create a new ID.
    Any real help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Missing *.inf driver for 2605dtn and windows 7 64 bit

    missing *.inf driver for 2605dtn and windows 7 64 bit
    I just piurchased a new HP laptop with windows 7 64 bit installed.  I do not have any windows 7 disks.
    Where do I obtain the necessary drivers for this printer?

    HI RandyJohnson,
    You do not need to download drivers for this product. Print drivers for your product are available within the Windows 7 operating system. Use Devices and Printers, formerly known as the Add Printer Wizard, to obtain the Windows 7 update. For more information,  go to Install the Printer Driver through the Windows 7 Operating System (c02536257) (in English).
    I am an HP employee.

  • Screen print imac with bootcamp and windows 7 64 bit

    I have a new 27" Imac i7. I have boot camp installed and windows 7 64 bit. I have auto-cad installed for college. There are several assignments that require a screen print to turn in. I have not been able to figure this out. I have been using the snipping tool, but in certain instances i need a menu drop down included in the screen print. With the snipping tool the menu goes away. I have looked for some ways to do a screen print while in windows, and have been unsuccessful. I have a wireless apple keyboard, the shorter one. The F keys are enabled to be used as the real F keys without using the fn key on the windows side. So when i hit F10 for example it is the real F10 function. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I can get those keys to work if i make the keyboard use the shortcut keys that are listed on the top. For example, if i want to use the f10-f12 keys to control the volume without having to hit the fn key. If i set the keyboard up that way that key combo will work. But if i set up the keyboard to use the f keys really be f keys without hitting the fn key, it will not work. Would you know how to get it like that? I have tried just leaving the fn key out of that combo and it will not work.

  • Adobe Reader X 10.1 Install Failing on XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit)

    After using the Customization Wizard 10 to create an .mst and executing the install via SCCM 2007 which I have done many times before, I am getting the following error on both the XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit) machines in the Application Event Log:
    Product: Adobe Reader X (10.1.0) -- Error 2229.Database: . Could not load table 'ServiceInstall' in SQL query: SELECT `Name`,`DisplayName`,`ServiceType`,`StartType`,`ErrorControl`,`LoadOrderGroup`,`Dependenc ies`,`StartName`,`Password`,`ComponentId`,`Directory_`,`FileName`,`Arguments`,`Description ` FROM `ServiceInstall`, `Component`, `File` WHERE `ServiceInstall`.`Component_` = `Component`.`Component` AND (`Component`.`KeyPath` = `File`.`File`) AND (`Action` = 1 OR `Action` = 2).
    I used the following .msi to create the.mst:
    AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    Does anyone know where to go from here?
    Thanks, Sandy

    I have found another possible bug affecting network printing with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode on XP SP3 machines that has not been previously documented:
    A number of users in one office were not able to print with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode (even with the printing hotfix/patch previously released) to their default printer; however they were able to print fine with 10.0.1 in Protected Mode OR by disabling Protected Mode in 10.1.2.  They could print to Microsoft XPS Document Writer, however.
    The cause was determined to be an issue with capitilization of the printer name in the registry!  10.1.2 in Protected Mode seems to be sensitive to this for some strange reason, though other apps don't care.
    Check the following keys and ensure the capitalization of any references to name of your printer (or UNC path of the printer share) is consistent:
    HKCU\Printers\Connections
    HKCU\Printers\Settings
    HKCU\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows\Device
    In our case, the reference to the name of the default printer was in lowercase, while the printer path recorded under settings was in UPPERCASE.   Changing this to match immediately fixed the problem.

  • Wheel Mousr fix and Windows 7 64 bit

    I am using Visual Basic 6 and Window 7 64 bit for my OS. I have the wheel mouse fix for XP, and it also works in Windows 7 32 bit, like the fix did for XP. The Wheel Mouse Fix works fine in Windows 7 32 bit, but doesn't using Windows 7 64 bit. It will
    move sometimes, but not like in a 32 bit OS. How can I get the Wheel mouse fix to work using Windows 7 64 bit??? Is there some way to make it call the Program Files(x86) folder???
    The command line for registering the DLL is:
    Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 C:\VBMouse\VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll, and then click OK.
    Like I said it works fine for 32 bit, but not using 64 bit. Anyone out there have any ideas.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm very pleased to say that I've just this minute figured this one out.
    I'm assuming you've grabbed the download from here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837910
    The solution is here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282747
    What I suggest you do is:
    1. Put VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll somewhere where it can live forever more - I went for C:\Windows
    2. Open a command prompt (I opened mine as Admin, not sure if it's necessary but why not eh?)
    3. cd \windows\syswow64
    4. regsvr32 c:\Windows\VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll
    Then open VB6 as usual, under the Add-Ins menu click on Add-In Manager and you should see MouseWheel Fix at the very top. Just tick the Load Behavior boxes as you wish and that's it.
    Cheers,
    Nick

  • I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader.  I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI). 
    When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
    Adobe Updater
    Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components? 
    And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons.  When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
    http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
    This webpage says -
    Adobe Update Manager
    Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
    So now I am stuck, no direction to go.  I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
    When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
    http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
    This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
    Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader 
    I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928.  Upon completion, it prompts to Finish.  But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file.  So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader.  But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link.  I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process.  This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove.  So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair.  The process seems to complete the Repair.  But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage.  So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file. 
    I tried Adobe support.  But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI). 
    Can this be fixed? 

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above. 

  • Cannot uninstall Adobe Acrobat 8 on Window 7 64-bit

    I've been running the CS3 suite on windows 7 64-bit for years with no problems. Suddenly, most CS3 applications won't open, and if they do, they lock up. So, I figure no problem, I'll uninstall and then re-install. Wronk!
    (1) I could not deactivate the license
    (2) Acrobat will not uninstall
    (3) I tried to uninstall with no success
    (4) I'm basically stuck with and old suite of expensive applications that do not work
    (5) Adobe's support is worthless and/or nonexistent
    (6) Did I mention that Adobe support sucks!!!
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Tim

    Hi Timothy,
    We regret for the inconvenience caused to you!!
    As i understand you are facing issues with uninstalling Acrobat... I would recommend you to run Acrobat Cleaner tool on your system and let me know if that helps.
    Moreover what exactly did you meant by "suddenly, most CS3 applications won't open, and if they do, they lock up" ??
