Acrobat 9 in 64 Bit Windows 7

I've run into a problem I can't quite figure out how to resolve for a client,
Sometimes when I open a .pdf file in IE 8 on a windows 7 machine I receive a blank error message with a blue question mark in it with absolutely no text. At first I thought it was because we had Adobe Reader and Acrobat installed on the system, but I have since removed Adobe Reader and run a repair on Acrobat. I thought this had resolved the issue, but occasionally it happens again. Because the issue is sporadic I have immense difficulty testing resolution on it, as every time it opens up correctly again I'm uncertain whether it's just a false positive, as eventually the issue will reoccur.
Should I completely remove acrobat and reinstall the application, or was the repair satisfactory? Has anyone experienced a smiliar issue and found resolution, or should I be looking at the Browser/OS for potential conflicts?
Any input is appreciated,
Thanks.
OS: Win7 64 bit
Browser: IE8
Acrobat Version: 9

I run Acrobat 9.3.3 on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system with no problems. Perhaps you should make sure you have all of Acrobat 9's maintenance installed.

  • Does anybody know if Acrobat 9 Pro work in WIndows 8 64 bits?

    Does anybody know if Acrobat 9 Pro work in WIndows 8 64 bits?

    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.
    Upgrading paths are shown here

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

    Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to  64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working."  I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

    Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
    Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
    I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .

  • Using Acrobat 8.2.5 on a 64-bit Windows machine

    I own Adobe Acrobat 8.2.5 Standard that I have used on my old computer.  However, it will not load into my new 64-bit computer.  Is there a way to make this work short of purchasing a new program?

    Hi alliembaker,
    Copying information from this doc Support policy | Acrobat 8 | Windows
    Adobe has tested Adobe Acrobat 8.x (Standard and Professional) on Microsoft Windows 64-bit operating systems running on a 64-bit processor machine. This document describes the known limitations and support options available to users of Adobe Acrobat 8.0 in a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 64-bit environment.
    Support policy for Adobe Acrobat in Microsoft Windows Vista x64, Windows XP x64 and Windows Server 2003 x64  
    Adobe Acrobat 8.0 was not developed for the Windows XP x64 or Windows 2003 Server x64 operating systems running on a 64-bit processor machine. Adobe Acrobat 8.0 was developed for Windows 2000 SP4, XP Professional, Home Edition, or Tablet PC Edition.
    If you use Adobe Acrobat 8.0 in Windows Vista x64, Windows XP x64 or Windows Server 2003 x64, please update to Acrobat 8.1. The Acrobat 8.1 update provides support for x64 based operating systems.

    In the Windows Explorer I get no preview (as you know from pictures). What do I wrong?

    Hello Swanson
    Thanks for your reply. I updated to 8.1.2 but did not find any hotfix for Acrobat under XP 64 Bit on support.microsoft.com. Please give me the right direction.

  • After you install the Acrobat X 10.1.10 update on 64-bit Windows 7, the Acrobat context menu choice is corrupted on Windows Explorer.

    Apparently this is a recurrent bug with updates, e.g. some people had problems with an older update too (Acrobat X context menu missing | 64-bit Windows 7)
    Running:  regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
    reports success, but nothing changes, the Windows Explorer context menu still shows blanks for Acrobat/no text  (though clickable and launches Acrobat)  Other context items are fine.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks, J

    Hi Jed27,
    Please try repairing Acrobat and check if it rectifies the issue.

  • 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.

  • Runtime error in 32-bit Windows 7

    When installing InDesign CS6 on a 32-bit Windows 7 PC, opening the file gives the following error message:
    Half a year ago or so I was told that this problem was acknowledged, but none of the updates has fixed it. The same holds true, but the way, for the Photoshop and Illustrator, which came with the Design Suite.
      The only way to get the programs to "run" is  "Open as Administrator," but several features don't work right. For instance, files cannot be dragged in.
      Is there any chance this problem is being addressed??

    Sounds like you are asking about InDesign, not Acrobat. If it was Acrobat, then what version (including sub-version)? CS6 means little to me, though it does contain a version of AA -- AA9 or AAX, I am not sure. Have you updated the product? If InDesign or other product, ask in that forum.

  • Acrobat v9.5.2 on Windows 7 64?

    Hi,
    We're running Adobe Acrobat Standard Edition Version 9.5.2 currently on Windows 7 32 bit. We are planning on upgrading to 64 Bit Windows, and eventually to the latest version of Acrobat as well. But in the mean time will our current software run ok on a 64 bit version of Windows 7?
    Kind Regards,
    I Dingle

    One thing that will likely be a problem is if you install OFFICE 2010 - x64. However, AA9 does not provide PDF Maker support for any version of office 2010 so it may not be an issue.

  • Frame 9/Acrobat 9 PDF issues on Windows 7

    Howdy:
    I'm using Frame 9 and Acrobat 9 Pro on 64-bit Windows 7, and encountering what appears to be a bug.
    When I initially open Frame and attempt to Save As PDF, I get the following error message:
    "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
    The problem: that setting isn't turned /on/, either in Frame or in the Adobe PDF printing preferences. So Frame is basically telling me to turn off a setting that isn't actually turned on in the first place.
    This problem has persisted through a complete reinstallation of both Frame and Acrobat. The only way to get it to stop happening is by /activating/ the "Rely on system fonts only" setting, applying that setting, then going back in and deactivating it. Even then, the situation crops up as soon as I exit Frame and restart it.
    Rgds,
    Ashton

    On Win7 x64 with FM8 and Acrobat 9 Pro, this resolved the issue for me:
    1.       Click the Start menu, and then click Devices and Printers
    2.       Right-click the Adobe PDF printer, then click Printing Preferences, and then deselect Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts
    3.       Click OK
    4.       Right-click the Adobe PDF printer, then click Printer Properties, then click the Advanced tab, and then click Printing Defaults
    5.       On the Adobe PDF Settings tab, deselect Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts, and then click OK.
    6.       On the Adobe PDF Properties dialog, click OK

  • Will Acrobat 9 Pro run using Windows 7?

    Will Acrobat 9 Pro run using Windows 7?

    This machine is Win7, 32-bit, and AA 9 has run on it from day one. Folks have even reported AA 8 running on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Win7, though there were some issues with the 64-bit version. Win7 is not one of the certified versions for AA 9, but I suspect you would have no problems. Win8.1 might be a different story. It sounds like you are considering upgrading your machine. I can not say without question you will have no problems, but my guess is that it will work fine. It would be a good idea to consider upgrading if you have a chance and the cash.
