Acrobat 9 Pro Fails to install

I am trying to re-install Acrobat 9 Pro onto an iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo machine with 3 GB RAM. The computer is already running without any problem Acrobat 8 Pro but I want to install the new version.  I copy the files across to the Applications folder and then open the application, but it fails soon after launching.  I do not reach the point of getting to enter any information - it simply crashes every time.  I have tried to delete various preference files but to no avail.
A critical point is that the software was running successfully PRIOR to my having to reinstall the system software.  All the other software on the computer still works fine, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and (as I said) Acrobat 8 Pro.  I cannot find what is wrong but a colleague at work suggested I needed to delete all the files related to the previous installation of Acrobat 9 (prior to the system reinstall).  Trouble is it is difficult to identify what all these files are.  I have used the Uninstall application to remove the obvious files and then tried again to install the software to no avail.
I would appreciate some advice on how to solve this.  It is annoying having paid for the new version of the software only to find I cannot install it on the machine.  I am sure there is some left over file that was corrupted when my system software crashed and needed reinstallation, but I cannot identify what it (or they) is (are).
I have already spent probably close to 6 hours on this and it is driving me nuts.  HELP.
Thanks,

Sorry - very slopy of me in the original post.  I am running 10.5.8.  The problems started when I had to downgrade from 10.6.  I was getting critical kernal panics 4-5 times a day (black screen of death) since installing 10.6 and I could not continue.  Numerous applications would simply crash for no reason.  Thje operating I had to reinstall was 10.5 and then I ran the updates to bring it uip to 10.5.8.
I have run all of the patches:  910, 911. 912 and 913 on the application and it still will not install.
I am installing a volume license version - you drag the entire folder across to the applications and the first time you launch the application it then runs the installation routine.  Mine is crashing soon after it starts.

  • Show that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed on my Windows 8 computer, but I can't find the app list

    I am using windows 8 and the Adobe Cloud shows that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed and updated, but I can't find the app, and, when looking at my list of programs to "uninstall", I don't see it listed either. (I thought a possible solution might be to uninstall and install again)
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    HI Marshapearson,
    Please try removing Acrobat from the link mentioned below.
    Link : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
    Once you have removed the product, please launch the Creative CLoud APP once again and install ACrobat on the machine .
    Let us know if you face any further issue or if it worked fine for you .
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

    Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.  Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
    I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only.  On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
    LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

    LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

  • I purchased an annual subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and installed two days ago. I cannot open PDFs. I keep getting a dialogue box saying my trial has ended and asking if I want to buy the software. Was using Acrobat Pro 9 previously. It appears even that

    I purchased an annual subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Mac two days ago. I cannot open PDFs. I keep getting a dialogue box saying my trial has ended and asking if I want to buy the software. Was using Acrobat Pro 9 previously. It appears even that won't open. SOS!

    Hi Margot ,
    You can click on accept or buy ,which ever option you see on that dialog box.It will prompt you to type in your Adobe Credentials.You can license it by doing the same.
    If it still doesn't work ,follow these steps and see how it goes .
    Delete all the files from following folders:
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

  • Can Acrobat XI be installed on a Windows PC where CS4 (which includes Acrobat Pro 9) is installed?

    Can Acrobat XI be installed on a Windows PC where CS4 (which includes Acrobat Pro 9) is installed?
    I have previously been told by Adobe tech support that the applications included in CS4 cannot be upgraded individually, and my guess would be that Acrobat XI and Acrobat Pro 9 cannot coexist on the same machine.  But I wanted to check and make sure.

    That's correct.
    Acrobat 8 is the earliest version from which you can upgrade to Acrobat XI

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro failed to print pdf file

    I downloaded adobe acrobat pro and started the 30 trial version just a few minutes ago.
    I could open files through adobe acrobat and convert word files to pdf, but when i tried converting a publisher file it could not go through. An error popped up which read "Adobe PDF printer failed to print pdf file".
    The publisher file I am hoping to convert to pdf is a 21 page panorama article. It contains lots of images and a variety of font types.
    I do not know other alternatives for solving this issue.
    Your help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • Acrobat Pro will not install on my PC..

    Error Msg. "Acrobat Installer encountered an unexpected failure. Please try again. If it continues to fail, contact Adobe Support."
    I've tried several times over the past week to install, but still the same result. Is there a number I can call. I'm paying for software that I cant ultimately use at this point. Thanks in advance. SuSheela

    Hey,
    Anti-virus software can sometimes slowdown the installation process. If you disable your anti-virus during installation, you can re-enable it on completion of installation process.
    Please try disabling it and also let me know from where are you trying to download Acrobat pro (what version)?
    Regards,

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Re-install Error 1327

    Have LapTop Win XP with Acrobat Pro installed for years. Recently program disappeared and attempts to re-install fail  with Error Message 1327 (cannot access Documents & Settings/All Users/Documents to create Adobe folder?
    Message says i no longer have access to Documents folder, even though i am Administrator?

    Back with AA7, I think you had to be the actual Administrator, not someone with administrator rights. That might be the issue. Also, you may need to disable anti-virus.

  • Word 2007 won't save files with Acrobat Pro 9.0 Installed

    Last night an issue started occurring while trying to save a document in MS Word 2007 (part of an Office Ultimate install).  After about 10 hours of trying several suggestions from a variety of forums and MS suggestions I found that the only time I cannot save a file by traditional means is when Acrobat is installed.  I tried updating Acrobate and had the same thing happen.  MS says all that's left for me to do is get an answer from Adobe (I have to wonder if it's a copout).
    Steps taken so far:
    Disabled the PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
    Removed PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
    Removed entire CS4 suite - Word was able to properly save files
    Installed only the parts of the suite that I use frequently (Photoshop, Soundbooth, Premiere, Acrobat) - unable to save Word files
    Removed Acrobat Pro 9.0 - Word saves files properly again
    When I say it will not save a file I've tried the keyboard shortcuts for Save/Save As, Choosing the Save/Save As from drop down, and even attempted to save by closing the document.  When prompted with the option to save changes I say yes and nothing will happen, I have to close the document with nothing saved.
    I hate the idea of reinstalling Acrobat each time I need to use it to keep Word functional.  I've seen a ton of threads on other forums related to this issue.  Has anybody else seen this or know about a fix/work around?  Any help is appreciated.  Please let me know if additional detail is necessary.
    The operating system for the affected computer is Windows 7 32-bit.

    I installed each update individually (6 of them) and rebooted after each update.  Opened Word and attempted to save a document (after each update/reboot), the documents still cannot be saved (previously created documents still cannot have new detail saved).
    Decided to delete the Office folder in the following path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office
    Opened up word and Acrobat went through an installation processes, to replace what was removed I assume.  After this was done I attempted to save a document and was still unable to do so.  Went back and deleted that Office folder in the above path again.  When opening Word this time I cancelled the installation process that Adobe was trying to complete.  Preventing the install of the settings and PDF add-in allowed documents to be saved again in word.
    I decided to try to remove the innactive add-in from my Word Options and received the following error message:
    "The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed"
    Due to my deleting that folder?
    I suppose I could cancel that installation that initiates each time I open Word (or any other Office program that benefits from Acrobat Add-ins) but that will be a bit of an annoyance.
    Anybody have another suggestion, know what may need to be deleted from the registry to prevent the Add-ins installation when opening Word, or know where that setting can be changed?
    Hopefully getting close to a resolution

  • Acrobat Pro CS5.5 installed but won't work with my serialnumber

    hi,
    in 2012 I bought and downloaded CS5.5 and installed it completely. Never used Acrobat Pro though. Today I would like to but. Adobe Application Manager opens and asks to type the serialnumber. As I copied it from my LWS account and  pasted it, the manager says it is not valid for this product? How can this be? What can I do? Anybody an idea? Thanks, Axel
