Acrobat 9.5.2 update questions

Nov. 15, 2012 - As Adobe sends there update notices, I updated yesterday morning and lost all functionality.  Couldn't open a PDF, kept getting messages that my license had expired.  Called Customer Support and after an hour on the phone, we uninstalled my Acrobat 9.0 Standard (download version) and then reinstalled it from my Adobe Order History online. 
Then was told to update with 9.5.1 (not 9.5.2 which was what the upgrade was yesterday).  Now, 9.51. will not install because of a message that reads: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by Windows Installer because the program to be upgraded is missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.
This is case no. 183809469 - a few questions regarding the install this morning:
Also, I was instructed to download Acrobat to my desktop (???), then it of course installed in my Programs Folder.  Now I have a new 334 mb Adobe folder on my desktop and a new 884 mb folder under Programs, which I believe is new 9.0 program (its dated today).  Can I delete the one on the desktop now?
Also have an original 334mb folder for Acrobat 9.0 on my C:/drive. which is from my 2009 install.  Can I delete this now?

I hope you did not delete all the download files. If nothing else you should store a copy on a CD or DVD to archive the files. You can then also record the software key in case you need to do future installs. Do not expect for the download to be available in years to come, so you need to have the archive in case you have issues requiring a reinstall.
When the update from the Help menu does not do the job, you can download them from the web site provided. Be aware that most of the updates are not cummulative and you will need to install them in order.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Update Question

    I just applied the update to take adobe acrobat from 9.3.3 to 9.3.4, but my Acrobat.exe didn't update to the correct version number.  Acrobat.dll did, as did the support info and the various registry keys went to 9.3.4.  Can someone provide some assistance as to why the Acrobat.exe would not update to the correct version?  I've ran the patch as administrator downloaded from adobe.com, from the Check for new versions with in acrobat with the same results.  i plan on trying as a startup script to reduce the amount of processes in use, but i don't think that will help.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Mike C.

    Did you reboot after applying the Update? I had to when I applied the 9.3.4 update.

  • Acrobat DC update question

    Hello. My creative cloud desktop app indicates that I have some updates available. It shows Acrobat DC. I've been using Acrobat Pro to date. Is Acrobat DC a replacement update for that software? When I click update I get this message: "Installing a trial of Adobe Acrobat DC will uninstall previous versions of Acrobat. This will deactivate any license for those versions." What does that mean?

    Hi Steve.
    Thank you very much for your quick, correct and polite reply.
    Please, consider to suggest to solve other issues that I noticed when replacing this file:
    1)
    The "protection" menu doesn't display the policy list for the saved items (it's quite boaring to have to enter into the policy menu to select a saved set: at least for people like me that have the steady habit on the direct selection from the menu items).
    2)
    Last but not the least, the saved policies don't works.
    I tested an old policy, but the document hasen't recived the modify (I have opened it with mac preview and I was able to copiy a portion, without warning with the password input mask...).
    This is a huge issue...
    Following, few screenshots to better explain the issue:
    1) Replaced file into right subfolder (please, note the creation time):
    2) Into Acro DC (Protection Menu is blank - even if I have rebooted my mac):
    3) The policies are still there (with correct creation date&time):
    4) Saved file with protection (assumed true...): the protection state is "allowed" ("consentito" in italian language) for all the items...
    5) The acid test: mac preview permits changes (never occurred before with password protection)...
    Any other suggestions to solve this trouble?

  • Acrobat 8.2.4 update problem solution needs clarification

    Could someone please clarify the solution offered at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/861/cpsid_86169.html
    Adobe Solution
    Adobe has released an  Acrobat 8.2.4 update via the auto-update mechanism for Adobe Acrobat  8.2.3 (CS3) for Mac OS. Adobe recommends that you check for updates by  choosing Help > Check For Updates from the Acrobat menu bar.
    File information
    Filename: AcroFix824_Delivery.dmg
    Usage notes
    Double-click  AcroFix824_Delivery.dmg to mount the disc image.
    Open the mounted disc image and double click the AcroFix824 utility to run it.
    In the Choose A File dialog box, browse to the Acrobat Professional application that you want to patch.
    Enter the administrator credentials in Authenticate dialog box.
    Click OK when the utility displays the Patched Successfully message.
    My questions are:
    After I had the problem with the 8.2.4 update, I restored my Acrobat Pro back to 8.2.3 using Time Machine. So I don't need a patch, I need a workable 8.2.4 update to 8.2.3.
    So if I update to 8.2.4 using the above solution,
    1. Does " choosing Help > Check For Updates" just install a patch to the original flawed update to 8.2.4?
    (Since I am back to my 8.2.3 version, I presume a patch would not work, if this is the case.)
    2. Or does the  "Help > Check For Updates" update my 8.2.3 to the flawed 8.2.4 and then the the AcroFix824.dmg patches the flawed update?
    3. Or does the  "Help > Check For Updates" update my 8.2.3 to a working 8.2.4?
    Thanks for your help in clarifying this. I keep getting auto update messges for 8.2.4 and I don't want to say yes to them if it still is a problem with auto update.

    I followed Adobe's instructions and the flawed 8.2.4 is constantly crashing. I cannot believe the update is worst than the old version. I would recommend not to update until Adobe fixes this useless update.
    Now I have to re-install the program again and make sure not to install the useless "new update".
    Adobe is going from bad to worse!

  • I have a new PC. Old version of Acrobat can't be updated. I want to purchase Adobe Acrobat, not rent it! Where do I find that option?

    I have a new PC. Old version of Acrobat can't be updated. I want to purchase Adobe Acrobat, not rent it! Where do I find that option?
    I posted the question above about 45 minutes to one hour ago never saw it come up on the list. Trying again...
    Why can't I just contact Adobe directly? (My previous question is more important at the moment)

    Hi Matt,
    You can purchase Acrobat from the below mentioned URL.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • Acrobat 9.5.1 update on Windows XP Error 1321 solutions don't work

    Acrobat 9.5.1 update on Windows XP Error 1321 solutions don't work. I can't uninstall program. Error upon error.

    Hi John,
    I'm trying to install the SunMC 3.5.1 Console on
    Windows XP with not much success. The install
    displays the initial splash screen, but then fails
    with the error :
    The install wizard cannot proceed.
    Aborting installation now...First, are you installing from a complete SunMC CD or CD image? If you just copied some files out of a CD/image you may have missed some jar files.
    SunMC Consoles don't like to share systems with older versions of themselves. Try moving/renaming the directory your 3.5 Console is installed in (or uninstall it if you don't need it),... then try putting 3.5.1 in again.
    All my demos/work/courses are on 3.5.1 on an XP laptop, so I know it works.
    I think it's probably just not happy about 3.5 already being installed... so just move it out of the way for awhile to get 3.5.1 in (then put 3.5 back so you can have them both).
    Regards,
    Mike
    The Java version is 1.4.2_03 .
    The Release Notes etc don't give any clues.
    Strangely, SunMC 3.5 works fine on this desktop..
    Any ideas as to where I can go from here? This is
    effectively stopping me from going from SMC 3.5 to
    3.5.1, unless I can get the Console working..
    Has anyone else had problems with SMC 3.5.1 on XP?
    Thanks in advance.
    John

  • Acrobat pro 9.0 update needed

    I own a DVD set of CS3 Design Standard for Mac, including a second DVD named CS3.3 including Acrobat 9.
    I could not access the DVDs with the Remote Drive function of OSX (I am on a Macbook Air now, without DVD drive). Thus I downloaded CS3 from Adobe and entered the serial number. Works. However, I cannot update to 3.3/Acrobat 9 as there is no download available from Adobe for Mac.
    Using a proper external DVD drive should work, I guess - if I can get hold of one, not much motivated to buy one, though.
    Or is there another possibility of updating?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Jeff, thanks.
    I'll try the USB thing.
    However, I do not think that this is aspecific  Acrobat issue, as the
    original CS3 DVD didn't work either through remote, so I downloaded it
    from Adobe, which worked fine.

  • Acrobat 7.1.0 update install error

    Hello there,
    there is some error encountered when install acrobat 7.1.0 update in my laptop run on win7 64bit OS.  I run the update application as admin but problem remain.
    the screen shot of error message is presented below
    Look forward to your advice.  Thanks

    Thanks for reply
    I purchased acrobat 7.1.0 standard two year ago.
    The problem is there is some pdf files that can be open by acrobat reader 9 (free version) but show to be damaged using acrobat standard 7.
    I thought all it need is an update.rather than upgrade.

  • Acrobat 7 - Check for updates ends at 7.1.0

    While updting some older copies of Acrobat I noticed that the Check for updates now... feature in Acrobat 7 only shows updates available up to 7.1.0. Three newer udates are available, 7.1.1, 7.1.3 and 7.1.4. Since I see this behavior on multiple machines I assume this is standard behavior for Acrobat 7 Update Manager per Adobe. If that's the case this kinda defeats the purpose of having a check for updates comand in the app if users have to go manually download the updates anyway. Can anyone shed any light on what's up?

    Acrobat 8 was introduced at the time of the 7.1.0 Update.
    There were no added features were in the updates after.
    And most of the updates that followed were bug fixes and security updates.
    the very most recent ones were security Updates.
    Most "Reputable" Software companies will do Security Fixes on software for many years until they feel that no one is or should be using that product.
    Its just recent that Apple has stopped supporting OSX.4.11. (Now I've got to find X.5 to put on the slow computer myself.)

  • Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Reader 9: cannot update, remove, or re-install ...

    After I have downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 updates and Acrobat Reader 9 updates, both update installations fail.
    Acrobat Reader 9 problems
    I thought that there could be a conflict between Acrobat Reader 9, which I have also installed, and Acrobat Professional 9.0, so I tried to remove Acrobat Reader 9, but the patch package could not be found. I then ran the Windows Install Cleanup tool, but Acrobat Reader 9 is still on my system. I now cannot reinstall it, nor can I really remove it
    I’d like to remove Acrobat Reader 9 entirely because I already have Acrobat Professional 9.0, but how?
    Acrobat Professional 9.0 problems
    When I try to remove Acrobat Professional 9.0 in order to re-install it from disk, I get the message that the patch package could not be found. When I insert the disk to try to repair Acrobat Professional 9.0, I get the message that the patch package could not be opened. When I try to use the Repair Acrobat Installation option in the Help menu of the program, nothing happens.
    I’m hesitant to run the Windows Install Cleanup tool on Acrobat Professional 9.0 because of the problems I got with Acrobat Reader 9 after running the Windows Install Cleanup tool.
    How can I re-install Acrobat Professional 9.0 from disk?

    Amanda,
    As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
    The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.
