Acrobat 9 Pro install want Win Explorer and Installer to stop

During an install of Acrobat 9 Pro on a Win7 laptop there's a message that Windows Explorer and Windows Installer are running and thus preventing installation of their components of Acrobat.  Reboots and disabling all start up programs doesn't fix it.  Finally ignored the warning and the rest of the install appears to have gone OK.
Any idea what's happening and what I may have lost by ignoring the warning?

Are you sure you are not trying to install Acrobat onto your CD drive?

  • After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

    After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
    Can anyone recommend a solution?

    If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.
    My Acrobat version is 11.0.10
    I am running Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1
    My Internet Explorer is Version 11.0.9600.17691
    Update Versions 11.0.17 (KB3032359)
    I am running Microsoft Office 2013

    Hi Shane,
    Please download Acrobat X Pro from the link below.
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    Install the software and when prompted for the previous version qualifying product, select Acrobat 9 and enter the serial key of Acrobat 9.
    This should install and activate Acrobat X Pro on the machine.

  • I have Acrobat X Pro on my old laptop and want to transfer to my new but have forgotten my serial number.  What can I do ?

    I have Acrobat X Pro on my old laptop and want to transfer to my new but have forgotten my serial number.  What can I do ?

    Hi,
    If you have purchased the Acrobat via Adobe Online Store then the serial number should reflect under your Adobe.com account.
    Go to http://www.adobe.com and login with Adobe ID and then click on "Manage Account".
    Or else you need to Adobe Chat Support to retrieve your serial number.
    Contact Customer Care

  • Acrobat X pro on a Win 8.1 PC-System uses about 5 GB of disk memory

    I've installed Acrobat X pro on a Win 8.1 PC-System. I´m surprised, because Acrobat occupies about 5 GB of disk the system-disk space.
    Why there are such high memory requirements?
    Best regards
    Michael

    Thanks for your fast reply!
    Although Windows keeps multiple copies of things, I never noticed such an extreme effect.
    In Windows System Control "Deinstall or change applications" I sorted all the programs according to the size.
    Acrobat was significantly greater than the Adobe CS6 Suite: More than 1 GB
    Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign I use much more often than Acrobat.
    Really strange...
    Best Regards

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Links to Word TOC and cross references are lost

    I'm testing Acrobat 9 Pro and while it successfully creates a PDF from Word 2003 with bookmarks, all my TOC and internal page reference links are lost.
    I have triple checked the conversion settings from the Adobe PDF menu option in Word, and the "Convert cross-references and table of contents to links" check box is definitely selected.
    I used the same Word document on another machine with Acrobat 6 Pro installed - and the TOC and cross ref links were created successfully. As far as I can see the Adobe PDF settings in Word 2003 on both machines are the same - the only difference is that one uses Acrobat 6 Pro and the other uses Acrobat 9 Pro.
    The only setting in 9 Pro I turned off was the 'enable accessibility tagging' one; it's also turned off in 6 Pro. The remaining settings are the default.
    A clickable TOC and internal links is essential for my clients who often have 400+ page documents.
    Anybody have any suggestions? Or can anybody confirm that they do/don't get the same behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Thanks Abhigyan - your test PDF worked fine for me.
    This is what I've done today:
    1. Checked for all instances of pdfm*.dot files and removed any that were lurking in old Application Data and Microsoft Office folders.
    2. Deleted all Acrobat 5 and 6 folders and subfolders still lurking in Program Files.
    3. Used Add/Remove to delete Adobe Reader 8 and its updates. I figure I can always install Reader 9 if I need it as a separate app.
    4. Checked that everything was gone using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility (it was).
    5. Restarted my machine.
    6. Turned off my anti-virus software.
    7. Did a search for any pdfm*.dot files - found one only in the current Microsoft Office folder and left it there.
    8. Reinstalled Acrobat 9 Professional.
    9. Opened my test Word 2003 document.
    10. Checked all the Acrobat conversion settings and left them as the defaults.
    11. Converted the doc to PDF and checked for internal links. Yes! The TOC links worked! But my joy was short-lived as the page link didn't work...
    12. Tried various other conversion settings based on some suggestions from Lance in first level Adobe Support yesterday - still no page link. And I also lost the TOC links when I cleared the Enable Accessibility check box on the Settings tab of the conversion settings.
    13. Checked the Edit > Preferences > Convert To PDF settings for Word in Acrobat 9 - add bookmarks and add links are both selected (default).
    14. Used Acrobat 9 to create the PDF (File > Create > From File) hoping that this might might a difference. Nope. No TOC or page links.
    15. Changed conversion settings back to default via Word 2003, and created a PDF from a longer document. Again the TOC links worked, the URLs worked (they always did), the bookmarks worked (they always did too), but the none of the internal page cross-reference links worked.
    So my summary is this:
    * I can only create TOC links *if* Enable Accessibility is turned on, but I have always turned this off in earlier versions of Acrobat as I don't need it and it made the process of creating a PDF from a long document incredibly slow - I'm wary of using it!
    * I cannot get internal page links to work at all, no matter which method I use to create the PDF (from within Word or within Acrobat), and no matter which conversion settings I select.
    I really don't know what to try next. Manually creating links for what could be hundreds of cross-references in a single document is NOT an option, especially as I have many of these long documents.
    Any further suggestions?

  • Acrobat X Pro install package does not remove Adobe Reader X

    I am using the Adobe Customization Wizard X to deploy our Acrobat X Pro install. In the transform I have both options checked to removed previous versions of Acrobat and Reader.
    The only version of Reader that does not get removed is Reader X. Has anyone else run into this? I've had version 8 and 9 get removed, but any system that has Reader X, keeps it, and Acrobat X Pro get's installed as well.
    I understand Adobe will support that configuration, but I'd prefer to have just one PDF reader
    Any input is appreciated

    Same problem in our environment. It seems, that Reader X is not understood as an old or minor version as it was in previous versions and therefore, both, Acrobat X and Reader X can coexist on a machine.

  • Acrobat X Pro Install Fails OS 10.7.4

    Any ideas what might be going on here?
    Thanks for looking!

    Restart with the Option key held down and use Lion's recovery partition to install onto that drive. Alternatively, clone your existing system to that drive, run DiskWarrior on the clone, restart from the clone, and use DiskWarrior to repair the internal drive.

    Hi Bruce,
    Please open registry by typing "regedit" in the Run window (Windows + R)
    Now, navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application and changing the Key from "AcroviewA10"  to  "AcroviewR10.
    Now, try launching Acrobat and let me know if the issue resolves.

  • Acrobat XI Pro installed badly

    Acrobat XI Pro installed badly so uninstalled to reinstall but App Manager still thinks it's installed...
    how do I download and install?

    Resolved...
    DO NOT uninstall from the application uninstall option under
    /applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/
    for so reason this removes the app from the Appliations folder but doesn't reference back to the App Manger
    DO uninstall from the '/applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro'
    and select the clear preferences option
    then go to '/applications/Adobe Application Manger' the option will be set to 'install'
    then Launch Application from within the App Manager
    my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no works as expected
    this is a resolution to a bad installation of Acrobat on MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5 64bit
