Acrobat 9.4.2 update destroyed ability to open 3D PDFs

Dear Adob€
I've used your products for quite a long while now. And by not being from the USA, I had to pay quite a lot more money than my American colleagues - for the same products. Although quite a few of these products were handicapped by the fact that I don't use US keyboard layout and most of the shortcuts simply don't work.
I bought CS4 when it came out, and found that besides a few new features that could have been included in regular updates, nothing worth mentioning was new. To my surprise, PS CS4 couldn't use all the RAM in my new and quite expensive Mac Book Pro that I (at that time) bought especially to run Adobe CS4. Not to even mention the 64 bit issues.
Now I bought CS5 (download version).
And to my surprise, not only did it not include Acrobat X, which I don't really care about, but I also couldn't download Acrobat Pro 9 installer from anywhere.
Would you like me to mention the fact that all the other CS5 programmes, that now can use all of my RAM and should run much faster, now run slower than CS4 that I run from a system that I backed up on an external USB disk? Because I can mention that, if you want me to.
So I figured - what will Adobe do next to annoy the hell out of me?
And it didn't take you long.
Because after my last Acrobat 9 update to 9.4.2 I can now no longer open 3D PDFs. Instead, I can see a "3d parsing error occured" message
What's the deal, guys? Do I have to buy a 199,99 € plugin for it to work properly? Will this be solved in CS7? Do I have to switch to Windows?
Please, let me know.
I'M KIND OF DYING TO KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO NEXT, SO THAT I CAN FINALLY RUN PS, AI, INDD AND ACROBAT WITHOUT THEM CRASHING INSTEAD OF QUITTING, WITHOUT THEM STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT THEM HAVING NEW BUGS WITH EVERY NEW UPDATE.
And thanks in advance.

Success:
Working now for 7h (OK, for about 2h the PC could be left alone) the problem has been solved:
Two more attempts to start with Acro 9.3 version from the CS5 DVD and then update to 9.4.2 in one step were not successful. Thw shortcut to bypass three minor levels (.0 to .3) turned out to become a lengthy detour!
In addition, FrameMaker had no idea about Acrobat and hence Save As PDF did not work.
Then decided not only to uninstall Acrobat, but also to remove the Acrobat folder (as Bil@VT suggest in the mean time - but I did not look at the e-mails yet now).
Start with the installation of Acro 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD: everything OK, setup of the various preferences and the Adobe Acrobat printer settings. FrameMaker knows about Acrobat now.
Update to 9.2 and check: still all OK.
Update to 9.4.2 and check: the preferences were still OK, but the Adobe Acrobat printer settings had to be re-established.
The only preference which is not persistant is Units & Guides > Page & Ruler Units: cm. This always falls back to inches, because I use the englisch UI. It sticks to mm when using the German UI. Adobe has never heard that metric units are common also in english speaking countries (well CH is not...)
Well, this evening I will have a glass of wine or two.

Acrobat Reader remains freezen a few seconds when open a pdf-file

Hello everybody,
I have Windows7 Prof 64 bit with the Adobe Reader X (v.10.4.1) installed.
When I will open a pdf file, the opened pdf-file remains freezen (in the same time the mouse remains freezen to) for about 10 or 20 seconds. In this time I can do nothing. After this time the Adobe Reader works again normal without problems and I could read me pdf-file.
Do you know if this problem is normal or how to fix it?

I have do nothing (except of post my error on the forum) for resolve this problem and the problem is resolved.
If the problem will return in the next months I will post more details how written from "Pat Willener".

Now that I've updated Firefox, when I open a pdf webpage, there's no toolbar with the Adobe save button, print button, etc. It's gone.

Firefox no longer displays the buttons for Adobe functions when I open a webpage with an pdf on it (e.g. a URL that ends in pdf)/ There's no way for me to download them to my laptop. The old version of Firefox automatically showed those buttons. I can't see a toolbar that relates to this. Can you tell me how to get those functions back? Thanks,
Laura

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Our InDesign seems to have lost the ability to open/edit PDFs. Any idea on why this might have happened or how to fix it?

We had to install InDesign CS6 recently on a Windows 8 machine and after using the program successfully for a few days/weeks the user noted that she can no longer open/edit PDFs. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how I can fix it. If I uninstall and re-install the program will I be able to use my existing license?

InDesign has never been able to open or edit PDFs. Illustrator can do it, after a fashion, but unless the PDF was created in Illustrator, and contain the original Illustrator file information, it's not a great idea.
PDF was designed as an end-format, and is not really intended for further editing.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 crashes when I open PDF file - How can I fix it ??

Dear Fellow Mac Users,
I have a MacPro4,1 with a 2 X 2.226 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor and 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Memory. On my MacPro4,1,
I have Adobe CS4 Suite installed. I now have Adobe Acrobat
version 9.4.5.
Whenever I open a PDF file, reguardles of size, Adobe Acrobat
version 9.4.5 freezes. This happens even with files less than
1 MB and with any other Acrobat software open. This happens
even if Adobe Acrobat is the only software that is open.
Any ideas about how I can fix this problem?
Best Wishes,
Paul

I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat Pro, then reapply the updates to 9.4.5.

Unable to open multiple PDF files in Acrobat 9 Pro - Vista

I have a staff member that is unable to open more than one PDF at a time. If a PDF is currently open and another one is selected the program will crash and close. It gives a message stating the program has crashed and must be closed and also gives an option to check online for a solution. Has anyone else seen this issue or know a fix for it? Thanks in advance.

No. Starting with Acrobat 9 it is no longer possible to open multiple PDF files in the same window.

Open multiple PDF's in Acrobat X Pro?

I have about 20 password protected PDF's that I would like to open in one instance of Acrobat X, instead of 20 different windows. Is there a way to do this.
I've tried merging them, but they're secured with the FileOpen plugin, and even though I have my the username and password, it won't allow a merge. Hoping to find a solution. Thanks.

Acrobat XI my default viewer when I open a PDF?

How/where do I change the settings to have Acrobat XI Pro my default viewer when I open a PDF? I tried the change noted for Acrobat X Pro but it didn't work for XI. I tried going through the settings screen but don't see a place to make the change there. HELP

Hi paulletta1,
There are 2 ways for this :
1. Please refer : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-which-programs-windows-uses-by-default
2. Launch Acrobat, Click on 'Edit' > 'Preferences'.
On the left pane select 'General', and then click on 'Default pdf handler'. Select 'Acrobat'
Click 'Ok'

10.4.3 update destroys portrait lid closed mode with cinema display

The 10.4.3 update destroys the ability to use an external cinema display in closed lid mode. In particular using the rotate by 90 degrees option. Once set the external display goes nuts and can not be set back to landscape -- even in open lid mode. Zapping the PRam is not sufficient to reset the display.
Anyone solve this problem?

I'm interested in this issue too, as I intend to get an MBP but use it with an external screen and keyboard most of the time.
I'd also like to know about ventilation - where does the cooling air come from and go to? What parts need to be kept clear, and which bits can I have up against or close to a bookshelf or hutch or whatever?
Thanks in advance.
PS, I think the glossy screens look fantastic, but also think I'll go for matte since they are more practical.

Acrobat 9.5.5 Update Problem

Hi,
I updated Acrobat 9 Pro (on Windows 7) today. Now I cannot print a pdf from the web browser (IE 10). If I disable the "view pdf in web browser" feature and open online pdf files in Acrobat instead of IE, it works fine. Something with the update broke my ability to print from within the browser. When I try, the print window is garbled and the system does nothing when I click print.
I have tried reparing the installation, making sure all add-ons are enabled in IE, and verifying that the Internet settings in Acrobat under Preferences are all enabled. Is there a fix for this?
-Gary

After you remove acrobat, Try booting your mahcine in Safe Boot mode first and then enable the root user and try to install Acrobat 9 followed by its updates.
Start in Safe Boot mode | Mac OS X : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/start-safe-boot-mode-mac.html

Hope that Helps.

Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have a Windows 7 system. Please help!

As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 Update - can no longer see PCs on network (e.g. ping/offer remote assistance)

Hello - I just did the Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 update in two different offices and the strangest thing happened while finishing 4 computers today.
I did the restart after installing the last update - 9.3.2 - and I can not connect to the computers again.
The workstations are Windows XP Pro SP3..on a SBS2003 network. The computers restart and the users can log back into the network and have no problems accessing network resources, Internet, etc. The only problem is that I can not ping the workstations from the server...I can not connect to the workstations from the server either. It's very strange how this has happened to the last 4 workstations today - when I had no problems with the other workstations yesterday.
I had the users restart the workstations several times - no luck - even shutdown/restart - no luck.
I am not in the offices to troubleshoot further in person....but I can have somebody be my "hands" onsite if need be.
Has anyone come across this before and know how to fix it - fingers crossed!!
Thanks!
Tammy

Make sure that registry values below are not set to 1:
"DisablePatch" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
"DisableLUAPatching" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Good luck

I can no longer "send for signature" in Acrobat XI after Echosign update.

I can no longer "send for signature" in Acrobat XI after Echosign update. Now when I click that option, up comes a box that asks me to enter the recipients email and their name. I did a test and it send it to the recipient without me being able to add signature boxes for the recipient in Echosign. It used to upload the document to Echosign and then I could position the recipients signature boxes before sending to them for their signatures...By the way, I use a Macbook Pro.

I want to clarify. When I make a document (in my case a real estate form) I click the "sign" tab in Acrobat XI then "get others to sign." A blue box pops up and says "uploading to Echosign." This is normal so far. At this point, before the recent Echosign update, my browser would automatically open up to the Echosign website and show my document that was just uploaded. Then I was able to position signature boxes for the recipients. Now what happens is a box comes up on my screen and just wants me to send the recipient an email. See photo...

Unable to install Acrobat 8.2 Standard update

I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.2 update and it always fails with the error"Internal Error 2254. , Registry"
I have tried this on both Windows 2000 and XP and get the same error.
Prior to the patch install, the product version was 8.1.7
The same patch also applies to Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 and I was able to install it without any issue.

Are you doing this manually by going to the update site and downloading the update, or by the Adobe automatic update process?
