Acrobat 8 error message

I have the Adobe CS3 Professional Suite, and I had it installed on my laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium) for a very long time with no problems. I used Acrobat all the time and never got any error messages. Recently I had to send my laptop to be repaired, and when I got it back, I had to reinstall all my programs. I installed CS3, did the serial and whatnot, played a bit in Photoshop, and then tried to use Acrobat. I got this message:
"Adobe 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."
This doesn't make any sense. Not only had I already launched Photoshop, but it was still open when I tried to launch Acrobat. I also tried launching other CS3 programs to solve the problem, with no luck. There is nothing different about the way I installed it, and nothing new on my laptop that would interfere. ALL of the CS3 programs are installed, so I know nothing's missing. Adobe's solutions to the problem were completely unsuccessful. Can someone help, please?

The problem is with LiveCycle Designer ES2 version 9.x. In this version under the File-> Form Properties if you select SetFocus and turn it on it puts the following code into the XML:
script>
<?templateDesigner expand 1?></variables> proto/> desc> text name="version">9.0.0.0.20091029.1.612548.606130</text> desc>
<?templateDesigner expand 1?>
event activity="postSubmit" ref="$form" name="event__postSubmit"> script contentType="application/x-javascript">//+ GENERATED - DO NOT EDIT (ID:881AD7B1-842A-4CF3-BE05-E05C44ED287E CRC:3815899415) script>
<
<
SetFocusOnFirstFailedField.DoSetFocusOnFirstFailedField(this);
</
Notice in the above code the postSubmit event. This postSubmit event is not supported in versions of Acrobat/Reader prior to version 9. Even though you have set the file to support version 7 this remains in the code. I resolved this by turning off setFocus in the Form Validation.<

  • Acrobat error message when trying to open a .pdf, usine Acrobat 6.0 and need this version for distiller function.

    Have Acrobat 6.0 and 9.0 installed. I need 6.0 for distiller function. Whenever I try to open a .pdf file in a site I get an error message that Acrobat has a problem and the file will not open.

    Good day,
    You can initiate a Repair installation from Control Panel > Programs by clicking on the Acrobat 9 installation, choosing 'Change' then following the prompts for a repair install.
    I missed the part where you mentioned the error was occurring on launch.  Sorry about that.
    Kind regards,

  • Supress Acrobat error messages

    I am merging pdfs using Iac/C# with Acrobat hidden. If I drop in a broken PDF, Acrobat pops up and displays an error message. Is there a way to suppress this behavior? I am using avDoc.Open() to open the PDFs.

    No, any AVDoc calls require the viewer to be present (you can hide it with Hide() as you are, but it still exists) and any error messages will propagate up through the viewer.
    You could use a try/catch around your call, but if the error message is propagated from the call before returning, this will not be caught so you can't rely on a try/catch for all error suppression.
    Do you require using AVDoc methods in your application or are there sufficient PDDoc methods to accomplish what you want?

  • Acrobat error message: The PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled.

    I'm .pfing a document from InDesign CS2, and even after I use Acrobat 8 to try to reduce the file size, the file is still about 12 mb. I 'm getting the error listed above, and wondering if that has anything to do with it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Content streams are pages, type 3 fonts, comments (annotations), form fields and XObjects.
    If you're really concerned about the file size, one trick (although not recommended since it can cause other issues such as fonts busting out, colour transformations etc) would be to open the PDF and then PRINT to the Adobe PDF printer using say STANDARD or SMALLEST FILE SIZE ... this re-fry might will remove/re-create the content streams and reduce the overall size.
    Cheers,
    Jon

  • Trying to redownload Acrobat 7 Professional on Windows Vista:  error message

    The error message reads:  "Error 1304 Error writing to file C\Programs files\ Adobe\ Acrobat 7.0\ Active X\GbDetect.dll.  Verify that you have access to that directory"  Does anyone know how to deal with this message?

    Have you checked to see if Acrobat version 7 will even work with Windows Vista?
    HOW ADOBE PRODUCTS SUPPORT WINDOWS VISTA
    Acrobat 7 will not work with MS Office 2010. If you have MS Office 2010, you can not use any Acrobat product reliably to create PDFs. You will have to wait for the next version of Acrobat.

  • Error message after purchasing Acrobat XI software

    About a month ago, I downloaded a free trial of Acrobat Pro XI and recently started getting popup expiration reminders each time I opened a PDF, so I purchased the software today, downloaded and installed it. I have also registered it with Adobe online. Now, every time I open a PDF, I get a popup titled "Serial number upgrade" asking me which product I already own, and requiring a serial number. Since I just purchased Acrobat Pro XI, it should appear on the drop down menu but does not, and when I enter the serial number, I get an error message stating that the "Serial number you provided was valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer." I've been using the same computer the entire time, so why is the software not found, and why can't I use it without this problem occurring each time?
    My expiration reminder also continues to pop up constantly, so I'm wondering why the fact that I've purchased it now hasn't cancelled that out?

    Brad,
    I've checked your order history and the order placed for Acrobat XI is for an upgrade. With this error message you need to enter the serial number for Acrobat X purchased earlier. I've emailed the serial number again to you.
    Thanks

  • Error Message:  Unable to load Acrobat Reader control

    Error Message:  Unable to load Acrobat Reader control.  Please make sure it is correctly installed. The user I am dealing with has Adobe_Reader_9.4.4 & AdobeAcrobatStd911-L.  Can you give me some assistance as to why she is unable to open her file.

    That file only? And before version X, Adobe did not recommend having Acrobat and Reader installed in the same Win computer...

  • Acrobat XI: Printing to networked printer fails without error message

    I'm using Windows 8 Professional.
    When I use Acrobat XI Professional or Reader XI to print to a networked printer, Acrobat and Reader throw up the Progress dialog, showing the document is getting spooled. However, nothing appears in my printer's status window and nothing gets printed. There are no error messages.
    When I use Windows 8 Pro's Reader app to print to the networked printer, it works just fine.
    I thus have a workaround, so not all is lost.
    However, how do I diagnose why only the Adobe applications on my computer can't use the networked printer?

    Thanks for the advice.
    The problem is not solved.  This is what i have tried.
    Attempt 1.
    Log-in as Administrator via  "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
    "Repair" Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installation.
    Same failure as described earlier.
    Attempt 2.
    Log-in as Administrator via  "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
    Uninstall Acro XI Pro.
    Run :  acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_040612.zip
    Log of "cleaner" shows deletion of very many, but ot all, Registry Acro-associated keys.
    At end of uninstall and cleaner processes, re-start machine.
    Log-in again as Administrator via  "CRTL-ALT-DEL" twice at the Welcome window.
    Disable Norton 360 and Webroot Secure Anywhere prior to Acro XI Pro installation.
    Re-install Acro XI Pro (this time, for "Default" choice, as opposed to "Complete" in previous installs.)
    Outcome:  NO Adobe PDF printer.  HOWEVER, both during the "Repair" and re-install processes, a message did flash: "Creating the Adobe PDF Printer".
    Both Repair and re-install:  The Adobe PDF printer is not listed under "Manufacturer" when "Add Printer" is executed (see image below). 
    Proceeding via "Have Disk", C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf,  yields the failure to install the driver previously described, for all ten (10) instance of the Adobe PDF Converter options.
    Thanks for any insights.

  • Acrobat Quit Unexpectedly error message on MacBook Pro after purchasing and downloading.  How do I get it to run??

    I just purchased the Acrobat XI Pro Subscription online.  After downloading the software and receiving the message that the installation was complete I tried to open the software to no avail.  It starts to open with a "please wait while we launch Acrobat..." screen, then I get an error message "Acrobat Quit Unexpectedly"  with options to Ignor, Report, or Reopen.  I've sent the report, but no matter how many times I try the 'Reopen' or 'Ignore' options the software will not open.  I'm running a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.7.5.
    Any suggestions on how to get the software to work.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Ron,
    Please try the steps below and let me know if it worked for you.
    Delete all the files from following folders:

    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

  • Error Message on Web Premium Suite while opening Acrobat that Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a Suite

    Can not open Acrobat Pro 9 out of my adobe creative suite 4 web premium.  Keeps giving an error message. Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite.  To enable Adobe Acrobat start another component of this suite.  I am running Windows 7 64 and already have the CS6 Premium Production Suite loaded on my computer.  I really don't need to load all of the Web Premium since I have upgraded to CS6 programs but still need the Acrobat.  My hard drive crashed and I've had to start all over again.  This is the only glitch and it's becoming very frustrating.
    Can't find a link to actually speak to someone at Adobe.

    you'll need to install and open some other 32 bit cs4 app.
