Acrobat 8 Pro Installation asks for a non-existent file

I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my Alienware laptop, FINALLY replacing the beta version. When I try to run the installation of Acrobat Pro 8 it gets most of the way through then stops, putting up a dialog instructing me to install my Vista DVD and point to AdobePDF.dll which is to be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Xtras\AdobePDF\i386. This, of course, is absurd, as there is not such folder on any installation disk ... but I happen to have a Vista install disk, so I looked anyway, searching all over the disk with no luck. Then I looked on my Windows 7 disk. No success in finding the errant file there, either. They I checked that folder on my desktop computer, which has the identical operating system. I found an AdobePDF64.dll file and offered it to the installer, but it didn't like it. I even checked an old WinXP 32-bit computer I had laying around, but no such file exists there. I'm stuck. I cancelled out of the dialog demanding the .dll file and the installation proceeded to conclusion. The resulting Acrobat installation reads PDFs fine, but doesn't write them. Any clues?
Thanks,
Lanny T.

Thanks for chiming in, Bill, but it seems like you missed my comment about checking my other computer, same OS, same Acrobat 8, and it installed fine into 64-bits. It didn't ask for any files from other disks, and I've been using it on that system for almost two years in that environment. I am puzzled, though, as to why all files needed for installation of any program would not be included on the installation disk.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Asking for Serial Number

I am a Creative Cloud subscriber. Downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI today for the first time. When I launch the application, it tells me that my "trial" has expired and that I need to buy it or enter a serial number. Huh? What do I need to do to run the application? It's part of the my Creative Cloud membership...

PE12: asking "Where is file..." for a non-existent file

When opening a project in Adobe Premiere Elements 12, I'm getting the "Where is file..." pop up window. It's asking ...
"Where is the File 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?"
Which is odd because I didn't use any such file in the project, I only have Adobe Premiere Elements 12, and this is installed on a MacBookPro. So I'm not sure why it's looking for a tga file in a Premiere Pro folder in a non-existent C:drive.
I only have two video clips in this project. I'm using the cross-fade transition between titles and clips. The title template I'm using is "RedBulbs_Title". I've duplicated it several times and I seem to get that same "Where is.." pop up, one for each time I've used the "RedBulbs_Title" template.
Am I missing something in my installation?

A.T.
I have a new project that I've created in Pe12. I get the message every time I open the file to continue editing. So, I created it, edited for a while, and save. When I open the file again, days later, I get the error.
It does seem to be related to the titles in Pe12. The error seems to occur once for every time the title template is used. I dismiss the error saying the file is Offline so that I can get to the project and continue working. Even though the file is considered "offline", the video doesn't seem to be mising any components.
I'm useing Pe12 for Mac, purchased new from Amazon.com. It was a clean install. There was no previous installation of Premiere Pro or Elements.
I have not imported any jpegs. My source files are .mp4 and the title graphics within Pe12. It's a very simple project.
The strangest part for me is seing a Windows error message on a Mac. I've never even opened the Windows install disk for Pe12, much less used it in the Mac.
Using Finder to search for the missing file returns no results as if the file doesn't exist anywhere on the Mac.
Am I correct in that the Title clips in Pe12 are not on the installation but on the internet? I seem to recall that the Title files had to download the first time I used a particular title in Pe. Could it be a problem with the downloaded files?
I'm re-installing Pe now. I'll let you know how that goes.
Re-installed over previous install hoping to avoid losing anything. Big mistake. Everything just crashes now. Uninstalling everything, preferences and all, and will do a clean install.
more to come.

>enter my CC serial number
I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

Has anyone managed to deploy Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac through ARD?

Has anyone managed to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac to deploy with any level of reliability through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop?
The main CS3 apps are "better", if still kludgy to deploy somewhat silently, but every time I've tried to get Acrobat Pro 9.0 to deploy, it steadfastly refuses to do so without demanding admin access on at least the first launch, and insisting on running the Updater in the process, which is completely unacceptable.
I should say that I've looked at their Adobe Acrobat deployment site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/), and it's entirely useless for the Mac version.
Why do Adobe make this so hard?

Okay, I think I've figured this out.
* On a clean machine (ie: no Adobe software), install Adobe Acrobat Pro
* Run Acrobat. Insert license code. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Run Distiller. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Edit AcroEFGPro90.plist and AcroEFGDist90.plist which can be found in Contents > MacOS within the Acrobat and Distiller apps respectively.
* Change the "Requires" tags from "YES" to "NO" for all the file resources.
* Copy these to plist files into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and overwrite the ones that are already there.
* Run Acrobat and Distiller again. Allow "selfheal" if prompted. Quit.
* Run again. Quit.
* Build a Mac OS X installer package of the following:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0
/Applications/Utilites/Adobe Utilities
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet*
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet*
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/Adobe*
/Library/Printers/PPDs/.../.../.../ADPDF9.PPD (one per language)
/Users/Shared/Adobe
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
* After you've built the package, go through the Acrobat application bundle and find cupshup.pl. Copy it into the Resources folder of the installer package, and rename it to "postflight" (this gets the installer to configure the PDF printer).
* Distribute through ARD.
* Grab com.adobe.* from ~/Library/Preferences
* Distribute the com.adobe.* files to all users; the .plist files can be done through Workgroup Manager, however com.adobe.118.registration must be copied as-is into the user folder, rather than being injected via MCX or the defaults command or any other method, as it's not a plist.
Dear Adobe,
MAKE THIS SIMPLER.

Why Does Logic Pro Repeatedly Asks for Serial # and XSKey When Started?

I've purchased and installed an upgrade to Logic Studio 9. I previously used Logic Pro 7 but did not have it installed on my MacBook Pro when I installed Logic Studio 9.
The installer asked for the Logic Studio 9 serial number which I entered and then prompted for the original serial or XSKey. I dug out the Logic 7 XSKey, plugged it in and it was accepted so I could continue with the installation which completed successfully.
So far so good.
But now Logic Pro 9 asks for the serial number and XSKey every time I run Logic which isn't what I expect. I re-enter the new serial number and then plug in the XSKey which is accepted and the software runs as expected, but I would prefer not to have to do this every time I start the application, in particular because I don't want to carry the XSKey around with me at all times.
Why isn't Logic 9 storing my serial number? Why does it ask for the serial # and XSKey every time I start the application?
I'm not running Logic as an admin user. Could this be preventing Logic from storing the serial information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this when upgrading from 7 to 8. What I did was plugin the xskey BEFORE I started the upgrade and it never asked for a key or serial again after that.

HT5616 I have an apple id; but when I try to sign in to iCloud, I get the msg that the apple id is not an iCloud account. However, apple was able to bill me for my non-existent iCloud account. How does that happen?

If you didn't create an iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac, you don't have one. You can't create an account on a PC. If you were charged for an iCloud storage upgrade without having an account, contact the Apple online store at the bottom of this page for a refund.

Printing Problems with Acrobat Pro 9.5 for Mac

I have Acrobat pro 9.5 for Mac. I'm using a Canon MG8150 multi-function printer. Everytime I try to print from Arobat Pro I get an error message. Any suggestions? I can print my pdfs from Apple Preview; so it's not the document or the printer.

The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
Hide Details
(1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
(2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

Problem with third party installer asking for restart

Hello,
I have a problem with software installers (not from AppStore) asking for restart (soundflower, M-Audio soundcard driver…). Gatekeeper is disabled, all is working perfectly but at the end I have a "l'installation a échoué" (installation failed) with a yellow triangle. I try to make a safe boot, make a new admin account, repair permissions… But no way!
It appends only with software installer asking for restart. Any idea?
Thank you

Yosemite and third party SSDs not friends. Do an Internet search for details.
I recommend that you consider reverting back to Mavericks or earlier if you wish to use your SSD.
Ciao.

Unable to unistall Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac

I downloaded the Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Trial for Mac on my MacBook Air. I decided it was not worth the money to purchase. How do I get rid of it? It has expired, but now I cannot open my regular Adobe Reader?

The same procedure I would use for your Adobe Reader. After that you load it down an install it anew.

Why isn't the installation asking for disk 2

why isnt the installation asking for disk 2. I have loaded disk 1 for photo shop 10 elements and the NEXT button takes me to a program maintenance screen where I am told if I proceed with the NEXT button the only indicated action is Remove Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 from your computer. The header on the screen is still Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 - Setup. I have photoshop 9 on my computer.

It will only request Disc 2 if you have requested to install the Premiere Elements 10 trial. If you do not wish to install the trial there is no need to insert disc 2.

Dose middle tier installation asks for the instance name?

Dose middle tier installation asks for the instance name?
If yes, should it be same as the infrastructure instance name?
Regards,
DN

Dose middle tier installation asks for the instance name?It should, and the name is not the same as infrastructure. Infrastructure and Midtier are different installations and different Oracle homes, in fact they could be installed on different machines.
In Application Server terminology, an "Instance" is related to an "Installation", the difference is that an installation is the set of files installed into an Oracle home and an instance is the set of processes associated with those files.

My MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before.

One of user's MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before?
Maybe the DVD itself is password protected, the user is travelling abroad.
Thank you in advance

Hi m,
My guess is the DVD is from another region than the one the optical drive is set to. Region changes are limited to 5 total, so it asks for the admin password to make sure you want to do it/allow it. After #5, the drive is locked to that region forever.

Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them

Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them. What can I do?

Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since.
