Acrobat 8 Pro crashes when customizing toolbars

Good day,
i am using Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 on Mac OS 10.4.11, and am having some trouble trying to customize my toolbars. i can easily choose which toolbars i want to show up docked into each document, but when i go to "Customize Toolbars" under the tools menu, and start adding or removing specific tools, it allows me to do it only until i try to quit the application, at which time i get the dreaded dialog box "The application Acrobat quit unexpectedly". it doesnt matter which tool i choose, or how many or few, if i change even one tool, it will crash when i try to quit the app, and it does not hold onto the changes.
anyone else have this issue, or any ideas on how to eliminate it? i would love to get rid of a lot of the tools i never use from my tool bars.
thanks
cr

I can customize the toolbars without problem. I'd suggest looking for a
corrupt preference file or perhaps one with the wrong permissions. As to
the old way of handling tools, I can detach the tools from the document
window. Just drag them off or on if you prefer them there.

Acrobat X Pro crashes when I try to scan

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 (32-bit). I used to have Acrobat Pro 6 when I was running WinXP, but I knew that wouldn't be compatable with Win7, so I went out and got Acrobat X Pro.
My scanner is part of my multifunction device: Samsung SCX-4720F
Acrobat X Pro installed fine, as did my scanner driver. When I attempt to Create a PDF from my scanner, Acrobat X crashes every time.
I've searched the web for the problem, and have seen posts by lots of other people who have the same or similar problem with Acrobe Pro 9 using Samsung scanners, but I found no solution. Haven't seen any posts about it for Acrobat X Pro yet, but I know it hasn't been out all that long.
My scanner works fine. I have used it with Omnipage Pro 17 with no problems.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi
          The crash seems to be happening because of DEP (Data execution prevention) on Win 7. The issue happens when Acrobat tries to communicate with scanner drivers which are not DEP compliant. It seems Samsung driver is not DEP compliant. To verify the same you can turn OFF DEP on Win 7, although it is not recommended.
To turn off DEP follow the steps mentioned below:
-          In the Start Menu, navigate to All Programs, thenAccessories.
-          In the Accessories menu, right click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator.“
-          You may need to provide Administrator credentials at this point.
-          In the Command Prompt window, type “bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff” and press Enter.
-          You should see “The operation completed successfully.“
-          Close the Command Prompt.
-          You must then reboot your computer.
Turning DEP is not recommended, so please raise this issue with Samsung also. Let us know if these steps help.

Acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date

acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date.
Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a fix?
I wanted to download the demo of acrobat XI but it says the previous version will be removed and deactivate the license. That sucks!

Yes it is up to date.
I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer. Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only. On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

Hi travisc74509405,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Also, let me know how much RAM and free hard disk space is available on your machine.
What exact dot version of Acrobat X do you have? You might check for updates under the Help menu to use the latest patch i.e. 10.1.13
Hope to hear from you.

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

Adobe Acrobat Pro crash

I have an iMac OSX (version 10.9.2). Adobe Acrobat Pro crashes every time I try to use the "find" function. Anyone else have this issue?

I was having this issue too. After a bit of a search I found an official response from Adobe with a patch you can install until the next update.

I've just installed the patch and done a quick test, everything seems to be working fine now...

Macbook Pro crashes when running on battery

Hi.
My Macbook Pro crashes when running in battery. It seems it doesn't happen when connected to the power.
Is there any way to know if it's a battery malfunction?
Because Apple changed the motherboard a month ago or so because Nvidia broke. So it could be also the connector to the battery?
Is there any tests I can run?
Thanks

I would take it back to Apple and have them check it. You may have got a replacement logic board with a problem. Apple usually use rebuilt ones.

MacBook Pro crashes when connecting via external modem

My new MacBook Pro crashes when I try to connect to the Internet via an external modem. Is it a SW or HW problem? In the latter case might it by the computer or the modem (original).
Sarah
MacBook Pro 1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This is Bob Simpson again from Paris. I followed the advice given in this forum and took out the set of HP printer drivers from the drivers pre-installled in my MacBook Pro and put them on my desktop. After that, the modem worked perfectly. If I want to use my HP Laserjet 1200 printer, I plug it into a USB port on the computer, the computer recognizes it and prints. If I want to use the modem again, I have to take that printer out of my list of printers in the print center. This is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it works. No one at any of the Apple distributers or Apple Care centers was able to figure all this out. Our forum did the job and we should get free awards from Apple, like the installation of the update on all our computers that will settle this problem. Otherwise, my BMacBook pro works like a dream. Many thanks to all of you and jackplug, you don't have to throw away your printer.

PSE 6 on Mac Book Pro Crashes when opening a picture

Whenever I try to open a picture PSE crashes. This is similar to another post but I should not be having RAM or generation issues. I have removed and downloaded from different DMGs all to no avail. Please advise.
Thanks

Thanks for the comment but I wasn't asking about viruses. The thread I asked on solved the other user's issue because of the Norton incompatibility. I was referring to the original question which had nothing to do with viruses. I open elements and try to open a picture from iphoto to work on and elements quits. Since I don't have Norton or any other anti virus program, I was hoping there was another explanation which would apply to my situation. Any ideas?

There's really no need for Norton on the Mac - because there is no such thing as a Mac virus. I realize that this could change tomorrow, but as of today, there is no such thing as a Mac virus. There hasn't been for about a decade.
You can remove Norton. I removed it from my Macs about a decade ago.
To prevent any future viruses from getting in, set up a new sub-user account on your Mac, and start using it. Don't run your Mac as the Administrator.
When you run as a lowly user, your Mac keeps an eye over what you do, and demands the Administrator's name and password whenever you do something suspicious. That won't be a problem 99.9% of the time. It's only a problem when you try to install an application or a utility.
Keep that limitation in mind, and use it to your advantage. A virus is an application that pretends to be something else. It lures you into installing that virus onto your computer. Let's say in the future you download what you think is a photo. It's really a virus. You double-click on it to launch Photoshop Elements. Instead, you launch the virus, which starts to install itself on your Mac.
At that point, everything comes to a screeching halt when the Mac operating system stops the installation, and puts a message on the screen. That message will say something like, "Please type the Administrator's name and password to INSTALL THIS APPLICATION into the Applications Folder." That is your tipoff that you aren't dealing with a photo. You are dealing with an application.
At this point, you should ask yourself, "Why is a photo trying to install anything?" Whenever the Mac operating system asks for the Administrator's name and password, you should ask yourself if you know exactly what is being installed.
If you were running your Mac as the Administrator, then you wouldn't get this warning messages. The Mac would say, "Well, I guess he knows what he's doing, so I'll install this application." And the still-to-be-written virus would be installed on your Mac. It's a lot easier to keep viruses off your computer than to try to remove them once they get in.
This is why you don't need anti-virus software on the Mac - if you have an intelligent user operating the computer as a sub-user.

Acrobat 7 crashes when started

Hi,
Before system restore (Windows XP), Acrobat 7 had been working correctly for the past 2-3 years. I had to restore my system back and, afterwards, Acrobat crashes when started. No significant error message reported. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat but still crashes when started. I've reinstalled updates and still crashes. I've repeated the above procedure (uninstall/reinstall/update) a number of times but Acrobat still crashes when started. BTW I managed to "preserve my registration" since I was reinstalling Acrobat on same computer. So, what's going on? Need help to resolve this problem.

Hi pelletie,
Please try the following basic troubleshooting steps :
> Remove Acrobat by using the Acrobat Cleaner tool ( Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing and check.

Rave
