Acrobat 9 Pro Broken In Vista

I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on Vista 32-bit, but it can't even do simple PDF printing from something like Word or IE without getting "Access Denied." I have UAC-enabled and do NOT plan to disable it anytime soon. The Adobe PDF printer is installed in the Printers section and Acrotray is running...

I was reading that I might have to give Windows/TEMP folder full-rights for the PDF conversion to work. I did that, but it is still a no go. I also tried to run Distiller 9.0 standalone (right-click Run As Administrator) once to see if it can create the temp folders itself, but no-go... How are other people running Acrobat 9 on Vista without problems?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows Vista Ultimate will not load/update

    Costing me hours of my billable time, ADOBE strikes again. i have uninstalled, updated(9.4.2 - which says Acrobat is not on my computer, though it is), i cannot get Acrobat to work. it gives me the error that i need to open Photoshop because it is part of a suite. photoshop, illustrator all have been opened but A9 will still not load.
    any thoughts.

    The subscription I bought allows me to go online and use Acrobat XI Pro without having it installed on my machine. It works okay, but I'd rather have the software installed on my desktop.
    I guess I didn't read the product information closely enough.  I can use the online service no problem with my Vista machine, but I can't download the software onto it so that I can use the program on my desktop. 
    I did successfully download the software to a Windows 7 notebook on the same network.  It downloaded without a hitch and it works fine.
    The subscription allows me two downloads - one to a desktop and one to a portable machine.  I suppose I'll have to upgrade my desktop to Windows 7 or 8.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro crashes w/Vista

    vista keeps closing Acrobat 9 pro because of DEP - Data Execution Prevention as per below. anyone run across this? Cannot find squat on DEP compatibility on Adobe site anywhere. TX, Jim
    "Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.
    "DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.
    First, see if a DEP-compatible version of the program is available by visiting the software publisher's website. If the publisher has not released an updated, DEP-compatible version of the program, you can turn off DEP for the program that was closed. You will be able to use the program, but it might be vulnerable to an attack that could spread to your other programs and files.

    Can you please post the scanner brand with which you see the crash?

  • Acrobat X Pro Trial on Vista

    Yesterday I downloaded the Acrobat X Pro and today it quit working.  When I try to convert a Word file to a PDF file or a PDF form, it says "Missing PDF maker files.  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?"  If I tell it yes, it says "Acrobat could not creste a new PDF form."  What do I need to do?

    The directions were wrong in the link, but I figured out how to enable an add in by searching Help.  It is working for now.  Is Word going to disable it again?

    Hi Zurab,
    It sounds like you might not have SP2 installed for WIndows Vista.  http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tech-specs.html
    Acrobat 9 did not require any Vista Service packs to be installed.

  • Acrobat 9 pro seems to be damaging files, why?

    I tried searching for information. but haven't been able to find a prior discussion that helps.
    I have been using acrobat 9 pro on windows vista x64.  I build files by dragging and dropping pages from one file to another.  This is so that instead of having 12 files for a years worth of one bill, I have one.
    This has happened more than once, so I did a full scan of my hard drive looking for bad sectors in case the problem was the file being written onto a bad sector.
    What happens is that I open a file that has been fine and some of the pages are blank, both the thumbnail and the page.  When this has happened before each re-open produces more blank pages.
    The current file is 30,824 K.
    Any idea why this happens and what I can do to prevent it?

    I am not sure how to do this given what I am  doing. 
    Scenario 1:  I have scanned a bunch of pages into a single pdf file and at my leisure move the pages to different files.  Not sure how I would use insert pages in this situation.
    Scenario 2:  I open a monthly statement and move the pages into another file containing previous months statements.  Would I have to actually save the file first before I could follow your suggestion?
    Is there anyway of determining what fonts I need in order to check if I have them?

    Subject: acrobat 9 pro seems to be damaging files, why?
    To test the font issue, try using insert pages to add a file to another one rather than the drag and drop. There could be a bug in the latter, or just that fonts don't work well with that process, particularly if you do not have the fonts on your system.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro, making edge of book scanning pages darker

    Thank you for reading my post,
       I am using Acrobat 9 Pro with Windows Vista to scan a hardcover book. Since it is hardcover, it is hard to press enough to get a good scan on the end of the pages, so I get light letters that I would like to get darker. So far I have not found a way to do this inside of Acrobat, so at the moment I am extracting the troubled pages out of the document, use photoshop's burn tool over the light end areas, saving the page and adding it to the main document. Even though this works, it is extremely labor intensive. There have to be a better and easier way! Any ideas?
    Book was scanned (not OCR) at 300 resolution with scanner CanoScan LiDE700F
        I still have several pages to correct so your help would be greatly appreciated,
    Jordan

    Something to play with:
    Acrobat provides "Edge shadow removal"
    (the dark edge produced when what is scanned is not flush between platen and cover of scanner.
    Try a setting of "Aggressive".
    In Acrobat 8 - File > Create PDF > From Scanner
    In the Acrobat Scan dialog, Document pane - click the Options button for 'Optimization'.
    This brings up the dialog that contains settings for Filtering.
    Alternatively, click Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
    The associated dialog provides for user configuration of Filtering settings.
    Similar approach for Acrobat 9.
    However,  for File > Create PDF > From Scanner click on "Configure Presets".
    The Document > Optimize Scanned PDF for Acrobat 9 is similar to Acrobat 8.
    Be well...

  • Acrobat XI PRO and Vista

    Is there a patch to allow Acrobat XI Pro to operate with Windows Vista? I dowloaded the trial version to check compatability (because it is not listed as an OS on specs.) and the program frequently stops working.  I am redacting very sensitive files and do not want to work on the cloud.

    No,  the Tech Specs (read Minimum System Requirements) do not include Windows Vista.  While they may add newer OS requirements in later updates, historically I have never seen them include older OS versions after shipping a product with an update.

  • 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!

  • Vista - Acrobat 9 Pro - Keeps Shutting Down

    Hi,
    I am running Windows Vista and have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Ever since I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro it will open the PDF, and it will stay open for approximately 10 seconds and then it will stop working and say "Adobe Acrobat 9.1 has stopped working".
    If this has already been addressed, please link me, thanks!

    I suggest you try repairing Acrobat 9 and try to open the PDF. If that does not work, I suggest you uninstall it. I also recommend you update it to the latest maintenance after you get this part working.
    If you have Acrobat Reader installed on the same machine, you should remove it using the Windows Install Clean Up utility.
    Good Luck!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro not compatible with Vista Ultimate

    I am running Vista Ultimate and have Acrobat 9 Pro. When I print and choose "Adobe PDF Converter" as my printer I get the following error:
    Interactive services dialog detection
    Program(s) of devices(s) requesting attention.
    Message title: Test Page.pdf Adobe Acrobat Pro
    Program path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll
    Received: November 15 -08, 9:23:58 PM
    This problem happens because of partial incompatibility with Windows Vista. Please contact the program of device manufacturer(s) for more information.
    Once I acknowledge this the new .pdf file appears.
    Do I have a setting wrong?
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem in Windows 7, did Adobe ever come up with a solution.
    We recently upgraded our systems to Windows 7.  Since the upgrade, the 'interactive services detection' dialog box opens every time I create a PDF file (I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro).  Is there any way to correct this?  Acrobat used to open when the file was created (WinXP), now I get the 'isd' box.  It creates the file, but the dialog box comes up asking me to view the message.  It takes me away from my desktop to view the file (goes to black screen and then displays the file) and I have to close the file in order to get back to my desktop (black screen then back to desktop).  I was able to disable it by going into printer preferences and unchecking 'view adobe pdf results', but I would really like to be able to view my PDF's when they are created.   (We had Adobe Acrobat Reader X installed initially on the system and then installed the full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, using AAP9 as the default program for pdf's.  I don't remember if this problem has been occurring since we installed the full version or after Reader X was uninstalled (program was acting funny, so we uninstalled.)  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • Installed RoboHelp 11 for trial and it overwrote Acrobat 9 pro with broken version of Acrobat 11 which I can't uninstall.

    The subject says it all. I installed Robohelp 11 to try it. Without my permission, the installation nuked my perfectly functional Acrobat 9.0 Pro and replaced it with a completely broken of Acrobat 11, which I neither wanted nor needed. I went to control panel to get rid of it so I could re-install Acrobat 9 Pro, and Acrobat 11 doesn't even appear as an application that can be uninstalled. Yes, the installation is that broken. So now I can't work with PDFs at all. I am more than happy to uninstall the trial of Robohelp to get back Acrobat, but I'm not even sure that will fix the issue since the installation program seems so squirrely. Anyone else had this problem. If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

    Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned in my post, when I went to Control Panel to uninstall Acrobat 11.0, it wasn't listed among currently installed apps. However, after going back and looking through the Installed On dates in Control Panel, I realized that for some reason, it's called Adobe PFD Creation Add-on XI, rather than Acrobat 11.0. Interestingly, the program folder name in Windows Explorer still uses Acrobat 11.0.
    Fortunately for me, I always have disc versions of my software. So I was able to re-install Acrobat 9.0 once I got rid of Adobe PDF Creation Add-on XI. I really wish that Adobe made clearer what extras they are installing with these trial versions :-(
    Thanks again.
