Acrobat 9.3 standard and IE8 printing freezes

I can't believe this is still an issue...its been a known problem since end of last year at least (IE 8 came out in Mar 09?). It freezes my computer such that I have to POWER OFF!!!! I am NOT looking forward to the first time this happens with a user.
Older version of acrobat same web page on IE8 works ok.
Has anyone else encountered this and have a workaround for IE8? How do I open or look at issues?
My users are general....they are most likely to have IE and mostly hopefully doing their autoupdates to ie8. Perhaps they're not as likely to have Acrobat 9 (as opposed to older)...but this is such a bad thing to happen...

Unfortunately, updating is not an option.  The person cannot update Acrobat because it would violate organizational policy.  He is locked in to Acrobat 9.3.1 for the foreseeable future.  What other options are available?

    It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
    Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
    You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

  • Baffled! What are adobe acrobat 8.1 standard and adobe reader 8.1.05

    My laptop has installed adobe acrobat 8.1 standard. I need to complete an online form which requires a minimum of adobe reader 8.1.05 so I downloaded adobe reader X, assuming this would work, but get a pop-up notice telling me I need to upgrade and still cannot insert text in the form. Can anyone advise me what I need to download? I really am confused what the adobe acrobat does and what the reader does!

    The developer very poorly phrased the requirement.
    The proper phrasing could be "You need to update your version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to minimum version of 8.1.05."
    Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat are 2 distinct products, one only reads the other is a full processing product., but both products interact with the same file format and for the same version number Adobe Acrobat has the same capabilities that Adobe Reader has and then some features that are unique to Acrobat.
    With JavaScirpt a developer can identify the product (Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat), the variation (Reader, Standard, Professional, Business Tools) and the major and minor version of the product. And with that information and knowledge of the capabilities of each version, can make a custom message for the end user if a newer version is needed. This script can be executed as the PDF is opened. With some simple coding the developer could have even cusotmized the message for the procuct that tue user had. Had this been done, it would have been very clear as what you had to do. This information and properties have been avilable since the introduction of JavaScript in vesion 3.01.

  • Are Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Windows 8.1 compatible?

    Trying to install Acrobat 7 from cd onto new pc windows 8.1
    Gets to the point where it says installing acrobat but installation never progresses
    Retired and only really need to use it occasionally now so don't want to buy newer version if can be avoided

    In purchasing Win 8.1 (and probably a new computer), you have effectively made some of your software obsolete. If AA 7 installation is successful with Acrobat and Distiller, you will still have to create a work around as the Adobe PDF printer drive and AcroTray are neither compatible with Win 8.1. You might try to install it in XP compatibility mode. The drivers I mentioned will still probably fail.

  • Try to open Acrobat 7.0 standard, and the reader opens

    The title says it all. The Reader is the default to look at pdf documents, but why does the reader program open when I want Acrobat?
    I have to have the reader as the default (long story, but we have some accounting software that might be 'upset' at the change.
    If I have to set Acrobat 7.0 as the standard, how do I do it, since the reader opens?

    Thanks, but that does not address what is the problem. I did just that. I double clicked ACROBAT, and the reader opened. I closed the reader, and doub le clicked Acrobat again. Again the reader opened. I did this about 3 or 4 times.
    Eventually, acrobat did open (and then, when I wanted the reader, acrobat opened..
    So, it sounds as if this is a program that might have to be wrestled with.

  • Does anyone know what is the difference between standard and value print cartridges?

    I was wandering does anyone know what the difference is between the 2 I am not sure which one to get.

    I do not know what printer and cartridges you are looking at, but there are typically "value" or XL cartridges that have approximately three times the ink at about twice the cost.
    You can see the page yield for various printers here.

  • Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) and Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard Issue

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and IE9.
    I have had Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard installed on my PC for a while without any problems.
    Today, while trying to open some forms on a government website, I received the following message:
    I clicked OK to install Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) and restarted my PC to complete the installation.
    Once I logged back into my PC, every single icon on my taskbar, start menu, all programs, etc. had been changed to the Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) icon below, and when I clicked on any of them, I received a message that Adobe did not support that file/application.
    The only way I was able to resolve this issue was to unistall Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) from my PC and everything went back to normal.
    Is there a way to have both Adobe Acrobat 7.1 Standard and Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) installed on my PC without experiencing the above issue?
    Please note that I need to have both programs, but I cannot afford to spend money to upgrade my current version of Adobe Acrobat.

    Thanks for your input Michael Kazlow.
    However, it appears that contrary to your statement, it is possible to run different versions of Acrobat and Reader at the same time.
    I have found this Adobe's article outlining 4 diffent solutions to resolve the issue I was experiencing in my original request on this forum http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86069.html
    In my particular case, I was able to resolve my issue by following the first solution in the article.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 but when I do go the Adobe website, under Adobe SDK 7.0 it only shows versions for Linux and Solaris not Windows. Under SDK 7.0.5 it shows the Windows versions. Can I use the 7.0.5 SDK for Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0?

  • HELP: Trying to print with a dot and matrix printer

    Ok, here's the deal:
    I own a very very old, 1985, OLIVETTI DM 292 printer and I want to try printing with it on Mac OS X 10.5.7 .
    I am trying to use the generic EPSON 9- or 24-pin drivers that are present in OS X.
    But so far I've had very little success.
    I am using a parallel-to-USB cable that makes OS X recognize the printer as the name of the cable manufacturer.
    Let's do an example:
    I want to print a .doc, Microsoft Word document.
    I PRINT and select the DaM printer.
    The status window eventually comes to "GenericClass: waiting for device" and the printer freezes.
    Previously, if I turned the printer off and then on immediately after it would print (even with the most possible chaos).. but this trick seems to be uneffective now.
    Can you help me ?
    Thanks to anyone who'll answer.

    Try the alternate USB driver, usbtb. It is supposed to help with USB-parallel adapter cables.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard - PDF Printer suppress file name prompt

    Hi,
    We are currently developing a product for Autodesk Revit with regards to drawing generation/export.  Revit does not have an inbuilt PDF writer.  As such most users either use free PDF Printers or Adobe Acrobat Standard.
    We have managed to automate the naming of files using some of the free PDF printers, and suppress the file save as name prompt for each sheet in a set of prints.
    We'd also like to add support for Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard.  Is this possible through the Acrobat API?
    Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated as we are keen to get our product out to market very soon!
    Thanks.

    Thanks.  That's all I needed for now.  Our developer will take a look when he comes to doing that section of the product.
    Cheers.

  • Cannot Copy and Paste in Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard

    I just bought a new computer and with it I purchased Adobe Acrobat Version 9 Standard.  In the past I used previous version of Acrobat standard and professional to create drawings and to copy and paste my engineering seal on my structural calculations.  I am having (2) problems.  The first is when I try to copy and paste my seal from a PDF file, it does not work in Version 9.  I use the snap shot tool.  Please try the attached file using Version 9.  It works in Version 8 Standard and Version 7 professional.
    The second is when I try to printing from AutoDesk products.  I had the problem of when I would print a PDF from AutoCAD it would sooo big.  To work around that, I started using Autodesk Reviewer and creating my PDFs from an Autodesk DWF file.  WIth Version 9, I now having the file size problem with the DWF files.  It is about 5 times larger than the DWF and the qualtiy is terrible.  I was able to create a PDF from a DWF from Version 7 and 8 without these problems.

    It has been a part of Acrobat for a while now but DWF was added in Acrobat 8, I believe. As far as older versions are concerned, the version of AutoCAD you have matters. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfitmatters/2008/12/version_compatibility_of_acrob.html. In addition, AutoCAD 2009 is supported in Acrobat 9.1.
    I would recommend downloading a trial copy of Acrobat and see if it meets your requirements.

  • Q regarding Acrobat 9 Standard and Excel 2007

    Using 9 Standard and Excel 2007, what settings do I need to change to create a pdf document that looks like my Excel print preview?  Some of the graphs within our excel documents are large, say 3 graphs 5 inches wide each, which are then forced to fit the print area using excel's Fit-to page settings.  When we attempt to convert these to pdf using 9 Standard, the graphs end up 5 inches wide each, and do not fit on the pdf page.  These pages pdf perfecly using Pro 8 but not using 9 Standard.  Unfortunately, I can not change the Excel documents, because we have multiple users, some with 9 Standard and others with 8 Pro, all using the same Excel documents.
    Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
    jim

    Thank you for your reply, however the suggestion did not work.  My original problem still exists:  headers and footers are resized on each page, some so small they are unreadable.  Also (much worse), I did a 'save-as' on a file created in XL 07, saving as XL 97-03.  This caused a 'significant loss of functionality' within my file, affecting 286 different cells.  I often use XL07's =IFERROR formulas which are not recognized in 97-03.
    So... I still have only a partial solution.  Adjusting the dpi settings allows me to successfully convert XL 07 files to pdf, but Acrobat 9 Standard is currently useless, because I can not add proper headers and footers.
    Anyone else with suggestions?  All replies appreciated.
    Thanks
