"Acrobat 8 or 9 Pro Is Closing" on opening.

Acrobat 8 Pro on opening gives the error message "Acrobat is closing" and it closes, documents cannot be viewed, created, edited, nothing. I uninstalled 8 and installed 9 but it gives the same error message and closes when I try to open it. Windows says it's an application crash of Acrobat.exe fault module MSCVR80.dll version 8.0.50727.3053.
Eleven other applications on my computer use the same module without difficulty. When I've replaced the module with a clean copy, Acrobat still shuts down and the other applications continue to do well. I have done reinstalls, repairs, modifications, and all that the Adobe site recommends for this kind of problem without success. MSFT says this is an Adobe Acrobat problem. Adobe will not provide help except for a steep fee.
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this?

The files are not secured.  Some of the files are part of a pdf portfolio, where the portfolio is a mixture of pdfs created/scanned in 8 and pdfs created/scanned in X and combined into a pdf portfolio by X.  The troubled X files are not visible in 8 as standalone files or as files inside the portfolio.  Some of the files have never been combined into a portfolio and are not visible to 8.
It does not happen to all of the scans.  Some scans done by X are visible in 8 and others are not, even though the scan settings used are the same.  Strangely, all of the files, whether visible in 8 or not, are visible in X.  The lack of visibility in 8 occurs across multiple machines using 8, not just one machine, and the same pattern occurs across multiple machines running 9.
I have examples of the files, but they contain private information.  One such file is two pages.  It is a standalone file, not a pdf portfolio.  The second page is visible in 8, but the first page is not; both pages are visible in X.  If I delete the second page (confidential information) and post the file, will the second page be visible by any means?
Additionally, the file pages are enormous to print even though they were scanned at 400 dpi, color, jpeg2000, jbig2 (lossy), deskew on, background removal off, descreen on, text sharpening, low.  The first page was 63.7 MB to print and the second page was 97.2 MB to print.  The entire file is only 1913 KB.
Do you think that I have a bad install and should just uninstall and reinstall?

  • How do I use my macbook pro lid closed

    How do I use my macbook pro lid closed?

    Well what i'm trying to do is keep file sharing on while macBook is closed so i can access files through "newtwok" (Back to my mac) with my imac...
    Ideally i would then control my macBook with screen sharing on my imac while the MacBook is stored behind my iMac...
    Somehow it worked before but now it stopped...and everytime i close the lid ..mac book pro goes black screen and completly disconnects from the newtwork...
    Everything works fine with lid open..
    I am trying to do this because i have a new imac with thunderbold and an older macbook pro with mini display port..and as you might already know...you canot connect these thow devices using thunderbolt cable...which really *****....there is also no adaport enabling this...and i really dont need to buy another mac book that just has one more hole in it >.<
    Anyway..hope there is a solution somewhere to keep file sharing going while lid down..

  • Why don't AutoCAD drawings converted by Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro print?

    I have been using Adobe Acrobat 6.01 Professional to make PDF files from my AutoCAD 2002 drawings. I email these PDF files to a client who prints them. My drawings are 2D with a 24 x 36 inch sheet size. The Adobe conversion buttons were automatically installed on my AutoCAD 2002 toolbar when installed Acrobat 6.01 Pro. When I would make a PDF file I went to the layout view of the drawing, and click the button “Convert to Adobe PDF”. Everything worked GREAT. I would email the PDF drawing files to the client, and they sent them to the printer and produced their hard copy drawings.
    A few months ago I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. After installing this suite my Acrobat 6.01 Pro was replaced by Acrobat 9.1 Pro, and the Adobe conversion buttons were removed from my AutoCAD 2002 toolbar. I now have to either try to create the PDF files from within Acrobat 9.1 Pro, or from within AutoCAD by selecting Adobe PDF as my plot device and plotting them. A PDF file is created with either method which can be opened and viewed as a normal, but neither will print on my client’s printer. When sent to the printer they get a “parsing error.” Also these PDF files are about half the megs of those created by using the conversion buttons on the AutoCAD toolbar for Acrobat 6.01 Pro.
    I have up dated Acrobat 9.1 Pro to Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro, and do like the many new features. I set up the recourse path for the text, plot, and styles in Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro. Nothing I tried fixed the problem, so I uninstalled Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro and reinstalled Acrobat 6.01 Pro. Everything is back to normal, and the Adobe conversion buttons are back on my AutoCAD 2002 toolbar?
    I would like to be able to use Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro because of its new features, but Acrobat 6.01 Pro and Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro can’t exist on my computer at the same time. Is there a fix for Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro? Is there a way to get the Adobe conversion buttons back on my AutoCAD 2002 toolbar? What am I doing wrong? I’m running Windows XP and have read about Acrobat 9 Pro includes a Windows-only PDFMaker for AutoCAD. Supposedly PDFMaker runs inside of AutoCAD, but will it run inside of AutoCAD 2002? Is PDFMaker inside of folder with Acrobat 9.1.2 Pro? HELP.

    Over the weekend I wiped my hard drive and did a total clean instal of Leopard (not Snow Leopard) - total clean meaning I had to find all my serial numbers when reinstalling apps. A lot of work.
    The problems with InDesign have cleared up, but my Acrobat problem remains. However, I have isolated the problem: it occurs after I have done an "Examine document..." and removed all metadata and other stuff, then resaved the file. I close the saved file and the file closes leaving an empty window (same as a Microsoft Windows window). The little clock mouse icon spins wildly around (forever), I tell Acrobat to either close this window or quit, and it crashes.
    Acrobat closes other "unexamined" documents without any problems and thus I have been able to save my toolbars...
    Anyone else have this crashing problem? Does anyone have a solution?
    Note: if anyone else does a total reinstal of Leopard from Snow Leopard then export your iCal calendars first. They were the only things I lost and this loss was (fortunately) no big deal as they were backed up elsewhere in Leopard.

  • Cannot edit text or any command other than print in Adobe Acrobat 9.0.1 Pro. Receive error message

    I just installed adobe acrobat 9.0.1 Pro and it opens up pdfs and prints fine but when I try to edit text or enter any other command I get an error and it gives the option of cancel to debug or to exit program.
    Error message:
    The instruction at “0x2b806327” referenced memory at “0x00000348”. The memory could not be “read”.
    Click on ok to terminate the program
    Click on CANCEL to debug the program
    At first it stated that it did not recognize the font but when I looked it up under file, properties, fonts. The font was helvetica (embedded subset) for all the fonts on the pdf file. I have also checked the sercurity tab as well and there is no security on the file.
    When I choose cancel to debug it just terminates the program. When I choose ok it terminates the program.
    Please help.

    Maybe your installation is currupt (scratched CD)
         Reinstall on another maschine (and clean CD) to validate this case.
    Update your Acrobat, maybe the corresponding files are replaced or the error is fixed.

  • Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro - odd font won't go away

    I began creating a new form and hadn't checked the default font.  After making about 10 fields I used Preview to enter some text.  Not liking the result, I had a look at the font being used.  Something called, "KozMinPr6N-Regular," which is Japanese.  Never heard of it - have never used it.  Not sure how it became a default.  I changed the font for those 10 fields, reset the default to Helvetica and created another 60 or so fields.
    The form printed fine in Acrobat Pro, but when I opened it in Reader (11.0.06) and tried to print using the Print Dialog, I received the message that "The document could not be printed."  I clicked OK (the only option) and a new box opened that said "There were no pages selected to print."  This after I "Selected All" in the print dialog and saw the preview of the document as a thumbnail.
    At one point I was instructed to go to the Adobe website to download a font since "the author hadn't included it."  Well, I was the author and apparently it was referring to this Japanese font.
    Back to Acrobat, and opening Document Properties > Fonts I see that Japanese font is included, as well as Helvetica.  Yet I've checked ALL of the field properties and there's ONLY Helvetica in use.  Short of starting all over from scratch, how can I fix this?
    Also, I looked up Embedding Fonts in the Help dialog, but that's of NO help since it doesn't tell me how to do so - only the pros and cons.
    I'm running OS X 10.9.2.
    Thoughts?  Thank you!

    I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
    The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
    In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

  • Acrobat 9 Reader and Pro extremely slow when loading.

    Machine: Dell Precision T3500 with an Quad Core Intel® Xeon® W3540 2.93GHz, 8M L3, 4.8GT/s Turbo processor with Windows XP Pro 32-bit and 4GB RAM NECC 1066Mhz installed.
    When installing, uninstalling, restarting, reinstalling Acrobat 9 Reader and Pro, or Acrobat 9.2 Reader and Pro, and upon opening a PDF double-clicked on opens Acrobat as expected but it would take an incredibly long time to open the PDF. Opening the application and then going to File, Open also recreates the effect. When the PDF opens, you can see vector drawings appear line by line as if running on a really old machine like a Pentium II and having the computer pause like as if it has frozen up until after waiting a minute or two. During that time, Windows XP is unresponsive until after waiting for the PDF file to load. Diffferent varieties of PDF with simple one-page text to complex PDF's with scanned, vector and hundreds of pages of text has both recreated the frozen in time effect. And when scrolling to different pages within a PDF, the scrolling is choppy, jerky, and at times, pauses to have drawings to appear.
    In the past, applications behaving erratically in this fashion was traced down to the software incompatible with HyperThreading and multiple processors. Does anyone know if this might be the case with Xeon processor listed above or similar hardware? Has anyone else experience this? Information about a possible issue mentioned above after searching produced no hits both at Adobe or out there.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your input.
    Installing only one or the other (Reader vs Pro and either 9 or 9.2) produced no improvement and the same delay.
    Disabling malware applications and then uninstalling them one at a time also produced no improvement.
    Disabling the HyperThreading feature within the BIOS/CMOS did not help.
    The only workaround so far is to launch Adobe Reader or Pro first, go into Task Manager and then "Set Affinity..." and have only one check mark on any CPU from CPU 0 through CPU 7. Then either drag the PDF into the Adobe Reader or Pro, or go to File and then Open to load the PDF. This process was the only way so far to "normally" open and immediately view and scroll the PDF regardless of complexity without delays or freezes.
    Has anyone else been able to reproduce the problem and test the workaround on similar hardware?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.

    Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
    I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.

    Any one know how to get around this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
    Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

  • Acrobat pro 9 won't open pdf files

    Just downloaded trial version of pro 9 for Mac.  I tried to install pro 8 and found out that it is not compatible with snow leopard.  The uninstall in version 8 is also not compatible with snow leopard.  So I had all kinds of trouble uninstalling version 8.  This may be the problem.  I finally got version 8 off the Mac but the uninstall may not be complete.  I installed version 9 and I'm having all the same problems that I did after I installed 8.
    The uninstall of version 9 worked and I tried reinstalling it.  Still won't open a pfd file.  The main problem is that I get the following error when I click on a pdf file.
    "The document “5 Chptr 2010.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format."
    What do I need to do to get version 9 to work????
    Also when I click on the Acrobat icon in my tray the program does not launch.  All I get is the menu bar at the top of my screen.  On my windows machine when I open acrobat I get the "wizard" screen that allows me to select what tasks I want to do.  And when I try to create a pdf file from a msoffice word document it won't allow me to convert the document.  I get the following error message.
    "Acrobat could not open 'This is a test document.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications."

    Hi rms,
    Have you installed Acrobat X and XI Pro both on the same Mac.
    Adobe doesn't recommend coexixting different versions of the same software.
    Please remove both the versions and install any one of them and then check.
    Also make sure you have updated Acrobat to the latest patch.
    For 10 it's v 10.1.9 and for 11 it's v11.0.6
    Regards,

  • Acrobat 9.2.0 Pro Extednded deffective print to PDF

    PC: Win7 Home Premium;
    Recently have had no success with printing to PDF using Acrobat 9.2.0 Pro Extednded. After some malware infection Acrobat 9.2.0 Pro Extednded stopped printing to PDF. Cleaned out the malware, did a fresh reinstall of PDF 9.6.2 Pro Extended and still no success.
    Does an "uninstall" efficiently remove all previous related Acrobat files, or are there lurking remnants that need manual cleaning?
    Is there an upgrade patch fix for Acrobat 9.2.0?

    Hi GlitchMobile2,
    The current version of Acrobat 9 is 9.5.1.  I would suggest launching Acrobat (with no PDF file open) and choosing Help > Check for Updates.  You'll need to apply the updates incrementally.  You'll find that you're asked to restart after each update, however, you don't really need to restart until the last update (9.5.1) is complete.  You can see a full list of the updates for Acrobat 9 here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    After you've patched up Acrobat to 9.5.1, I would suggest running a repair of Acrobat (Help > Repair Acrobat Installation) just to make sure everything is in its proper place.

  • Acrobat 8.1.6 pro and Reader 8.1.6

    Hello all,
    i have installed on my PC Reader 8.1.6 an Acrobat 8.1.6 pro.
    I have with the Adobe Customization Wizard 8 customized the setup of Acrobat pro so that the reader is the default for pdf-files.
    This works.
    My problem is now, when i add an link to an pdf-file in MS Office 2003 the Acrobat pro is opend to view the file and not the reader.
    The filetypes for pdf is set to reader.
    What can i do to change the office settings to open links to pdf-files with adobe reader??
    Thanks
    Lukas

    Hello try67,
    the system is an terminalserver where only a special group can use the Acrobat 8 pro. The other users only can view the PDF-Files with Adobe Reader.
    I have figuerd out the problem.
    The problem results from two registry keys.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document\shell\open\command
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\open\command
    This keys are set to Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe.
    If you change this keys to Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe all links in Office 2003 to PDF-Files will open for "normal" users the Adobe Reader and for the users in the special group the Acrobat 8 pro is opened.
    Regards
    Lukas

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro: Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'.

    I have two workstations both running Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro, both have the font Arial installed and working just fine in other applications.
    I have a pdf file from a customer which opens fine in one workstation, the other workstation gives the following error and shows all text in the pdf as "dots".
    Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
    I've Googled "Cannot find or create the font" and find this problem has been reported in Adobe forums and elsewhere in several previous versions of Adobe Acrobat. Nowhere is the problem resolved... most responses suggest the font Arial is not installed which is not helpful as the Arial font is indeed working fine in other applications.
    Windows XP/ Adobe CS3 / Adobe 8.1.2 Professional
    Thanks,
    SC

    I am having the same problem Sam is. I only see dots in my document and received the same error mesage only I was using a different font. The font is installed on y system and usable in other documents.
    I tried to change the font (dots) to a different font but received an error messge stating the change could not be done because the "chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
    Please help!
    Thanks so much!

  • Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro - Excel problems

    Dear Sirs,
    I am using Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro to convert excel 2007 files (xlsx) to pdf. The problem is that images are wrong placed in the pdf file.
    I am not an expert and i'm asking for your help to solve this problem. Initially I used Acrobat 9.0 Pro and everything was OK, but along with the update to 9.1.1 this problem occured,
    Please help since I use this feature alot.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    It seems that the problem is of the content layout on the page! Try out the following:
    1. Open up the problematic file in Excel and go to 'Office Button -> Print-> Print ' dialog and select 'Adobe PDF' printer in that dialog. Click 'Close'.
    2. Now go to 'Office Button -> Print-> Print Preivew' and check the layout and content.
    If you see issues here, then you need to re-layout the page contents to get the desired output.
    Thanks.

  • Rotated and Shrunk Printing with Win7x64 Ultimate and Acrobat 9.4.4 Pro Extended

    I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and Acrobat 9.4.4 Pro Extended and have been experiencing problems getting my pdf files to print properly.  For some reason all PDF's printed rotate from normal oreintation and print on only 1/2 of the page, as if I was attempting to print a bi-fold book (the printed page is always follwed by a blank page).  This occurs with a Xerox 6350DP PS and a Xerox 4500DT PS (both of which are Windows 7 64-bit certified and approved.  Latest drivers are installed).  I've checked settings and can't find anything that makes any difference.  Prints correctly on an old HP Laserjet 1320.
    Other programs (MS-Office 2007) have no issue with any of the printers.
    Any help would be appreciated...
