Acrobat 9 Professional Installation

Is there way to limit or meter the number of installations that can be done from the install DVD? Here is the reason: we currently have off-site users that request either Adobe Acrobat 9 pro or standard for business use. Currently we install locally by using a remote connection to the target computer then connect to a server share and use the product key that comes with each purchase. The product keys are controlled by the IT department so the end user doesn't have access to them. This is not possible with our off-site users so I have to send the original installation media with the product key.
This brings me back to the original question: is there a way or a tool that can be used to limit the number of times an installation can be done to one or two, (preferably one), from the source media? We want to remove the temptation to share the software.
Thank you,

As far as I know, the CD/DVD will install as many times as someone wants to put the disc in a drive
What controls installs is the key number will only allow 2 activations (supposed to be on a desktop and laptop)
That is the way it works for a regular key number... I don't know how a volume key number works

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

Acrobat Professional 11 Installation

Looking for information on how to install Acrobat Professional 11 on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal server which already has Acrobat Professional 8.1 and Acrobat Reader 9.1.2 installed ???

So you want to install multiple versions of Acrobat on Windows. You want to deal in software installation VooDoo, and the installation "Dark Arts"! Be warned doing something like this can backfire on you in terrible ways.

For example, REMOVE_PREVIOUS=YES during an Acrobat install will only uninstall previous Acrobat versions. It will not affect any version of Reader that is present.

Acrobat 'Professional' 9 installation buggered

If you don't like rants, look away now.
<rant>
Colleague wants me to edit a PDF doc for a typo. I've not got the right software so go to Adobe site. Choose to download Acrobat 'professional' (what's the 'amateur' version like?) 9 trial version at a whopping 350+ megs. Run install. Installation falls over, hangs, and have to kill in Task Manager. Installation buggered, can't run any Acrobat stuff. Re-run install prog, choose repair, get "network error" for a file on the C: drive. Sod it - de-install Acrobat via Control Panel, re-run installation with minimal options. Seems to go ok. Run Acrobat 'professional', turns out it can't edit PDFs anyway, so have wasted time completely. Go web browsing, click on a PDF in Firefox, get error saying that my version of Acrobat can't run PDFs, need 8 or 9. Download Acrobat Reader 9, run install. Choose repair. Get "network error" - D'OH!!
Result: 3 hours lost, I still can't edit PDFs, and now I can't run PDFs inside web browsers. Great ;-\
From my experience with Adobe, its products come a close second to Microsh1te in the bloatware stakes. Only Dreamweaver is halfway-usable. For bitmap editing I now use the Gimp, for vectors Inkscape - I can edit a drawing in these in the time that it takes Illustrator and Photoshop to load. Yet Adobe continues to ask four figures for its product suites? Surely further evidence that there is no God and that corporate buyers are terminally stupid.
Bye now.
</rant>

From http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/detail/edit_pdf.html:
"With Adobe® Acrobat® 9 software, you can work directly within a PDF document to implement minor changes. Easily add or replace text and make changes to color, word spacing, character spacing, and text size."
That'll teach me to take Adobe at its word.
Yes, it's easier to edit the source file from which the PDF was generated, but we don't have the original Word doc, otherwise that's exactly what I'd have done.

How can I continue installation of acrobat professional 7

I had to reset my system to an earlier date (unrelated problem) and lost my full installation of Acrobat Professional 7.1 during this process. After downloading the file 22020134.exe from Adobe the attempt to install the file, was interrupted at the following location (CaptureA):with the following error messages (Capture1 + 2)
At this point I could not continue and have no clue how to continue the installation. I would appreciate to learn about a solution to my problem.
Thank you!

This error indicates that there is insufficient write permission on the mentioned location. You can try providing permission to this folder and hit retry.
Also, these screenshots seem taken on a Windows 7 machine. If that's the case, I would like to inform you that Acrobat7 is an old software and is not compatible with Windows 7. Please make sure you meet the system requirements and do not run into another problem after installing it.

Acrobat X Installation failures

Hi guys, Please bare with me, i'm having a number of installation issues on one of my computers (but not the other)
I am installing the entire CS6 suite, which has gone well, except for Acrobat X
System Specs
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
16Gb Ram
128Mb SSD
Intel i7 2600
The full Story:
I was installing the suite, the computer crashed and froze while installing the CS6 suite i belive it froze on Acrobat
I rebooted it and installed again. Everything went well except for Acrobat X which gave errors similar to the one below
I rebooted into Safe mode and tried installing Acrobat X only, through there. BSOD!
I have followed the recommendations for Error 1310 to the letter and have checked and changed permissions, I've watched the Config.msi folder during installation and it is certainly not the problem (Files are created, written to, and removed during the failed install exactly how they would eb expected)
I have even had an Adobe employee log in and try to install the Trail version of Acrobat X etc....
I have tried installing it from CS5.5 Installation files in case it was a corrupt file.... All three installers have failed.
I can't think of anything else to do.
Should i install Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5? and then try installing Acrobat X again? Should i reinstall windows?

Form designing for compatibility between Acrobat Reader 7 and Acrobat Professional

I have designed a Form using LiveCycle Designer 7.0. It contains a few subforms and lot of javascripting. One of the javascript logic I am using is to display a subform when a user clicks a radio button and hide it when the user clicks another radio button. The subform contains Text field, Numeric field, Rectangle, Line, Button. This worked well with Acrobat Reader 7.
After I installed Acrobat Professional 7, my form breaks. I did a quick test to see where it breaks and came out with the following conclusion.
1. If the subForm contains an Image, Line, Rectangle or Circle control, the subForm rendering throws error (Adobe Acrobat 7.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close) when I click on the radio button to display the subform.
2. If the subForm contains Text control, it is displayed even if subform is invisible.
3. If the subForm contains Checkbox, Radio, Dropdown list, List Box, Button, Submit By Email, Submit, Print Form, Reset Form; these controls are never displayed even if subform is visible.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response.
I need some clarification. When you say 7.0.5 version, are you expecting 7.0.5 version of Reader or Professional?
Here's the steps I followed:
I originally had Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and everything worked great.
Now I have uninstalled Designer and Reader and installed
Acrobat Professional Tryout. This installs Acrobat Professional version 7.0.0 and Adobe Designer version 7, 0, 041126, 0 (which is the same as above). Now the same forms which were working earlier are not working as expected.
Please note that I have NOT installed Acrobat Reader 7.0.5. How do I find out what version of Reader does Designer user for PDF preview?
If I separately download Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, how do I tell Designer to use that version for PDF preview?
Thanks,
Satish

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 6 but cannot find my installation CD and am running windows 7 but the program will not load and asks me for my disk. before it will finish loading. Has anyone had this issue? Is there another place to download it from?

Pages not cropping or rotating in Acrobat Professional 8.3.1

I am using Acrobat Professional 8.3.1 on Mac 10.5.6. When cropping or rotating pages in Press Quality PDFs I have created in Distiller, the operation is sometimes ignored or says can't find pages when all is selected, choosing the option a number of times eventually works, the quicker I select the options, the more chance there is that it works. I have reinstalled the programme but I still have the problem.
Any ideas, I wonder will an upgrade to 9 help, I am reluctant to spend the money if the problem persists.

I didn't.
However, after my initial post, I noticed that there were many other options not present, so I did a repair installation. The redaction option, along with these other options, is now back.

Disable Auto Update in Acrobat Professional 9 for OS X

We have a series of installations in a lab/classroom environment where we would like to disable the autoupdate feature of Acrobat Professional 9. Currently when a new user logs in the autoupdater wil launch telling the user that there's a new update available. That's great and all except that a) most users are not admins and couldn't do the update any way, b) we use Sassafras Keyserver and updating the App with IT will cause the keyserver functionality to stop which would then make us fall out of compliance with licensing, c) IT likes to make sure that ALL users are on the same version which means that we need to control when and how updates are installed.
Is there any way to do this and then have the settings propagate to all users?

Hi,
There's no machine level setting to disable ARM for all users in MAC.
However, you could set the update mode to manual using Edit->Preferences->Do not automatically download or install updates. This has to be done by each user since the setting is user specific.
Hope this helps.
Also, I have a small query. When Acrobat\Reader installed as an admin is launched for a non-admin user, it requires admin credentials on first launch. Since most of your users are non-admin, how are they able to launch Acrobat\reader wihtout providing admin passwords?

Redaction removed in Acrobat Professional 8.2.1?

Hey all,
I've been using Acrobat Professional 8 to redact documents for work. Today's the first time I've had to redact anything for a little while - looking back at my notes, I last redacted something in January, after the release of the 8.2 update. Since then, Acrobat has been updated to the 8.2.1 update.
However, the redaction toolbar is now completely gone. It's not where it's supposed to be. Checking under View -> Toolbars, it's not even listed. It's also not listed in the "More tools..." window.
Am I just going crazy, or has the 8.2.1 update removed the ability to redact documents?
(This is on my work computer, running XP SP3.)

I didn't.
However, after my initial post, I noticed that there were many other options not present, so I did a repair installation. The redaction option, along with these other options, is now back.

Can't Print a PDF (either in Preview nor Acrobat Professional)

I can print word docs, emails and other things, but not a pdf file. This is really strange and just started to happen recently. I have a (2) HP Printers, a Color Laser and an All-In-One and each stops the printing queue. I've looked over a bunch of posts, but no luck on finding a solution. I have tried both Bonjour as well as direct IP to the printer.

hallo to everybody.
I would like to add my problems into the chain of questions.
since update to 10.4.11 (and maybe the installation of vmware fusion ??)
i cannot print simple text-pdfs on my new hp laserjet p2015n anymore. the prints are either empty or off-center. i have tried everything from reinstallation of the drivers, changing the usb port, advice from the hp website, caalling hp who told me the printer was allright, printing from acrobat professional, acrobat reader, preview, converting to a pdfx-3 document and even printing as a bitmap without any result.
who can help me? thank you very much!!
