Acrobat 9 Pro in CS4 - Acrobat X upgrade doesn't work with this!!!

I bought this upgrade which recognised that there was a version of Acrobat on my system but later on during the installation, said it was not an eligible product.  Doubt very much I'll get a refund from the vendor now the package is opened and used.
I am a self employed communication professional and my main tool for my job is MS Office.  It is very helpful to have Creative Suite so I can do things clients often can't (in Photoshop, Indesign  or Dreamweaver) but I mainly use Acrobat. CS4 was very large investment for me (more than my accountant, insurance, training or hardware) and with the exception of MS office 2010 integration, have no need to invest in an upgrade except for Acrobat.
I have seen in threads about different development cycles and that is all vendor centric and of no interest to the customer.  In a former life as a marketing manager of a software company I know full well there are ways around this - validate I have a CS package and then install the full product for example.
Has anyone had an official repsonse from Adobe about this.  I am quite tempted just to turn up at their UK office reception as it's near one of my clients!  I have just taken great delight in writing a very rude review on Amazon from where it was purchased.

You must work for Adobe Dave
Only the vendor could write such a pompous patronising and unsympathetic reply to a CUSTOMER
I have seen the other forum threads I know I am not the only person who is irked by the fact that they have spend £1000s and yet are still expected to shell out the full product again. No I did not read these prior to purchase from Amazon who stated I needed Acobat 7 8 or 9 Pro to upgrade.  Not everyone lives and breathes Adobe  or knows your 7 year history of shafting customers
Pathetic.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Scan to computer doesn't work with Win8.1 [solved: problem with USB3 Boost]

    Since I installed 8.1 (pro), I can't use my 8600 Pro software for scanning to the computer (via USB). It looks like there is no communication with the printer as for the scanning software, but printing works as usual.
    Tried to use the HP Printer Assistant: when I click the "Scan a Document or Photo" button, I get a "Scanner Unreachable" message. Also after a restart of the printer.
    When I try to scan from Photoshop, the system first finds the printer but then fails to connect to it.
    HP Update says that my system is up to date.
    HP Print And Scan Doctor 4.2 finds and shows the printer on the Welcome panel and seems to be able to communicate with it, to a point.
    It gives me a "Driver error" (sorry if is not called so in English--it takes over my keyboard language, which is French and says "Erreur du pilote") and states that no communication could be established between the scan driver and the printer, and that I should reboot the computer...
    So I did and reran the Doctor software, which gave me the very same error message. This time, I clicked "Ignore" and let it do its things. It ran a "Scan Test" twice and indicated that everything was fine or had been repaired. But strangely nothing happened on the printer during those "tests". And at the end, as it offered me to make a scan test myself, I clicked OK and I had the "Scanner Unreachable" error message again.
    So I made my scans on an USB key, as I had to do a few times already, and that went very well. But I'd be glad to have that "Scan to computer" function back. How?
    This question was solved.

    Hi ajmch,
    I am sorry to hear that you are still having a scan issue. What antivirus program are you running on the computer? Can you try to scan through Paint and Windows Fax and Scan on the computer? When you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor what error message are you getting?
    In this document for Windows: HP Scan Software Does Not Open or Scan on a Printer Using a USB Connection are steps  for checking the WIA and for checking software.
    You can also Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files that may resolve this issue.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thank you,
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Firefox updated itself to 3.6.9 and now I can't print anything from an open page, because HP Smart Web Printing doesn't work with this version. What's a replacement extension?

    "An unknown error occurred while printing."

    I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

  • I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 through time until I am currently using version X, which doesn't work with Office 2013.  Can I upgrade to version Standard XI?

    Over the years I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 to currently working with version X.
    However, since getting a new laptop it doesn't work with Office 2013.
    Can I upgrade to Standard XI?

    Upgrade pricing now only applies to version 9 and X. So if you have a retail serial number for X, you should be able to upgrade. (Or consider subscription).

    QuickTime 7 doesn't offer that, but the built-in QuickTime X Player does. You may find another use for the key.

    I am traveling with a new computer and do not have my software (Acrobat Pro) to load but hoped I could do so with my serial number

    Hey,
    Do you have access to the internet?
    You might visit Adobe website and download Acrobat pro on your system.
    Then, you can use your serial number for activating the software.

  • I bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and  a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.\\\\\

    i bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and  a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.
