Acrobat 9.5.5 on Windows 8.1: many "tmp" folders created on HD root

I was forced to update my Windows OS due to the expiration of XP support. After installing Windows 8.1, I reinstalled my copy of Acrobat 9 Pro and went through all of the automated update, bringing it to 9.5.5. When using Acrobat now, it seems to create a multitude of folders at the root level of my main C: drive. Each one contains a single copy of a PDF from elsewhere on my hard drive! The folders are labeled A9R2D7A, A9R2D7B, A9R2D7C, etc. (see attached screenshot).
I can delete all of these folders (and the files within), but they just keep getting re-created. I suppose they may not be doing any harm, but it is disturbing. I had no issues during installation, and I have no other functionality issues. In addition, Acrobat 9 is not listed as having any issues with Windows 8 on Microsoft's compatibility checker site. It is listed as fully compatible.

You may have to set the compatibility settings in Win 8.1 for AA 9. Adobe will not address issues of AA 9 on Win 8.1 with you since it is not certified for that system. There have been some that reported success with AA 8 (maybe 1 or 2), but you may just have to try things and report back your experiences until some idea pops into someone's head, or someone else has experienced the same problem and found a solution. Sorry that I don't have a ready solution for you, but your report is the first I have heard on this issue of using AA 9 on Win 8.1.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Problems Printing from Acrobat 8.1.2 on Windows 64

We are running Acrobat 8.1.2 on Windows 64 bit. The Microsoft Windows fix that Adobe recommends has been installed. The Adobe PDF print device works fine when used from Catia V5 and MS Office products, but nothing else. When used on other programs, such as AutoCAD or Internet Explorer, the Adobe PDF print device seems to crash. Has anyone else seen this or know of a fix?

Thank you for the advice, John. It looks like there has been a lot of discussion on this subject.
I believe 8.1 was the first Acrobat version to support 64 bit. We were not able to print anything to the Adobe PDF printer after we first upgraded to 64 bit, but it started working fine from some programs when we installed the Windows Hot Fix. It still crashes on some programs, especially AutoCAD and IE.
Does anyone know if Acrobat 9 works better than 8.1.2 on Windows XP 64 bit?
Thank you.

hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.

Is there a way to flip the pages in a .pdf so that all of the text is readable (in other words all documents are right side up)? I have Adobe Acrobat X and am using Windows 8.1.

Is there a way to flip the pages in a .pdf so that all of the text is readable (in other words all documents are right side up)? I have Adobe Acrobat X and am using Windows 8.1.

I have a pdf with over 2,000 pages, many of which are sideways. I do not want to manually flip each one (few are next to each other). Is there a way to automate the function so that all sideways or upside down text pages are righted?

Hi parpires
You are welcome to try but it was not tested. Also from my understanding printer drivers have changed again in Windows 8 so it is unlikely you will be able to get the Adobe PDF printer to function. Acrobat 10 and Acrobat 11 do function properly with Windows 8. If you end up running into installation difficulties then you will likely want to consider upgrading to Acrobat 11.

License recovery, Acrobat Pro 9.5 in Windows XP

Most of the discussions about using the license recovery tool are from Mac users. This is not the case here. After about 1-1/2 years, Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 suddenly stopped working and displayed the following error message:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.
(148:3)
Using the REPAIR installation from the original disk was of no help. Uninstalling and then reinstalling Acrobat 9 Pro from the original disk did not solve this problem either. Using the Adobe license recovery 109 tool did restore usability. However, now I get a box with an OK button I must click before I can log into any profile. The box contains a couple of odd characters but nothing readable.
This license is used on only two computers; the other one hasn't exhibited this odd behavior. It could have been tied to a Windows XP update as I routinely download and install them, but that's also the case with the other computer and it doesn't misbehave in this way. I have different licenses of Acrobat 9 Pro installed on other computers, and none of them has this problem, including one laptop running Windows 7.

Jeff,
Thank you for the reply. Yes - I ran Lavasoft Registry Tuner shortly
before Acrobat 9.5 Pro stopped working properly. Acrobat is now back to
normal except for the unknown box that appears before the Windows XP log-in
screen. Clicking OK seems to be all that's needed, and as far as I know
there are no programs that don't function normally.
The following has nothing to do with this topic, but I wanted to tell
somebody at Adobe: the reason I haven't gone to Acrobat 10 (except for the
Windows 7 laptop) is because the extra security (I assume) in Acrobat 10
prevents me from using Fullshot or other screen capture programs to take
pictures of specific parts of a page within an open Acrobat document. I
have to do this routinely as part of my job as engineering (technical)
writer.
Thanks again.

I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows Vista 32 bit

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows Vista 32 bit consistently dies after about 10 seconds, with no error messages or other indication of what went wrong.

You have an activation issue. When you launch the program it is going out to check on activation. This is failing and so the program closes. The solution to your issue most likely lies in the TechNote below:

Ignore solution #1 as you are using Acrobat 9. Start with solution #2. Good Luck!

Does Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro work with Windows 7?

I'm having a printing from Word to .PDF issue using Acrobat Pro 8 on a Windows 7 Pro OS. It's not working. It starts as though it's going to work and then nothing. The printer icon in the system tray only states printer error and then I have to cancel the print job. I'm using Word 2013 also.

Hi Greggory Bowles,
Acrobat 8 pro is not compatible with MS Office 2013. You might prefer buying a newer version of Acrobat with Latest Features and Security Updates (Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro).

Can I install Adobe Acrobat 4.0 on my Windows 7 system? ... since it is already paid for.

I bought a Windows 7 system and am now installing software that I had on my Windows XP system. What do I need to do to install Adobe Acrobat 4.0 on my Windows 7.0 system? Adobe Acrobat 4.0 installation states that there are compatibility issues ,,, and then directs me to the Adobe web site.

Hi,
Tried compatibility mode on Win 7 and it did not help. Will use Microsoft Word and Adobe Reader and convert doc to pdf as needed.
Thanks anyway,
Jim

Hey jeroenb16613921,
Please specify exactly when you get this white popup screen. While opening a PDF or launching Acrobat by double-clicking on the Acrobat icon.
If it comes when opening a PDF, then where is this PDF actually stored?
Let me know more on the same so that I can analyze the issue.

I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. It won't start.

I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. I double click the desktop icon and double click on a PDF file and the hour glass (circle) appears for about 5 seconds but no Adobe Acrobat.

If it's not launching you can try repairing it from the control panel. If that doesn't work then try reinstalling it.
