Acrobat 9 Standard and Windows 7 Compatibility

We are in the process of planning a migration of company computers to Windows 7 and Office 2010.  We have a large number of Acrobat users with various versions with many using v9, just upgraded last year.  Microsoft's "Windows 7 Compatibility Center" says Acrobat v9 Standard is "Compatible, No Action Required".  We are finding that this may not be the case, specifically with printing.  I have not been able to locate any information on the Adobe site stating compatibility of older versions, only that Acrobat X is compatibite.
Is anyone having success with Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Standard?  Does anyone know where to find Adobes compatibility statement for older Acrobat version?
Thanks!

Acrobat 9.0 is not Windows 7 compatible. However, I think it was compatible somewhere around 9.2.3. If you upgrade to Acrobat 9.4.3 you should have no issues. I ran with that setup for many months using Acrobat Pro.

    Hi Dcee3,
    Acrobat Standard has not been developed for Mac platform so Mac version is not available. It can only run on windows machine.

  • Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000

    Everyone that has the Windows 2000 operating system has problems with the Acrobat 3D models. The models were created using Windows XP and were tested using Windows XP. I am assuming that Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000 are incompatible. Adobe states Windows 2000 compatibility. Does anyone know why users with Windows 2000 are having problems with my models?
    Thanks

    Yes, I have checked the version and they have Reader 7.0.8. I also checked that they have the latest version of DirectX. Of course there are a number of remote Windows2000 users, so I haven't the ability to check the service pack installations, graphics drivers, and so on. Many of these users are schedule to be upgraded to new laptops (with Windows XP installed).
    I also have the most recent version of Acrobat 3D and have installed all the updates.
    It seems the problems are different among different users, but everyone seems to have some type of problem when using Acrobat 3D and Win2000.

    Hi Timothy,
    The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
    Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

  • Problems with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all
    I need help with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7.
    During the installation I'm asked to locate the file AdobePDF.dll on the disk. Selected the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64.
    The installation finishes without any other problem.
    The problem arises when I want to create a pdf from a Word document. I'm using Office 2007. When I select he option to create a pdf from a file, I get message in the attached image.
    If I try to used the Adobe PDF printer from within Word, nothing happes. The small printer icon apprears in the Windows task bar, but that is all. If I double click on the icon, I can see the print job, but that's all. There is no dialog box that asks me to save the file.
    Assistance will be apppreciated.

    Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

  • Just bought acrobat standard and it won't download on my macbook

    i downloaded the trial, then bought the software and now its telling me its not available for mac.  The trial downloaded and operated just fine on the mac.  Help?

    Hi Peter,
    It sounds like you downloaded the Acrobat Pro trial for Mac OS, but then purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, which is only available for Windows. If you'd like to return or exchange your subscription for Acrobat Pro for Mac OS, please  Contact Customer Care. An agent will be able to sort that out for you.
    I apologize for the inconvenience.
    Best,

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 6 & Windows 8

    I own Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.
    Can I use it on a Windows 8.1 computer?
    If not, can I upgrade Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 at minimal cost?
    I will be purchasing a new Windows 8.1 laptop and discarding my old laptop.

    You may be able to get it to work with some workarounds that I have tried on various Win7 versions. The 64-bit system creates additional problems, so you may want to ask if a 32-bit system will meet your need. Even with the workarounds (if they would work for you), the extra effort to use them gets annoying quickly. You would also have problems reading a lot of newer PDFs I would guess. Now is probably the time to purchase a new version (as TSN, AA6 does not qualify for an upgrade). There was a sale before Christmas, but not sure if there will be another.

    yes, but you may need to use compatibility mode if you have trouble installing.

  • Adobe Reader 8 compatible with Acrobat Standard and Pro 7?

    Our organization has Adobe Reader 7 deployed to all users. Some users also have Acrobat Standard 7 or Acrobat Pro 7. We want to upgrade all users to Adobe Reader 8 (or maybe 9) but do not want to upgrade Standard and Pro users yet.
    I have not been able to find any information about compatibility issues with Reader 8 and older versions of Acrobat, but last time we did an upgrade in similar fashion we experienced issues. Any insight?

    Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pdf Conversion

    I am not sure I am in the correct forum, but I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I cannot convert existing Word files, for example, to pdf. A message comes up: "PDF Conversion Failed." And that's it. No explanatory message or suggestion how to correct it.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thank you!

    Try these steps to see if things are working at all. If they work, then it is a process of going one step at a time until the problem is isolated.
    1. Print a simple file to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
    2. Open the file created in (1) in Distiller and see if the conversion completes.
    If (2) is unsuccessful, you will get errors in the Distiller window indicating the problem. With success, the next step is to check if AcroTray is running, so simply print without using print-to-file. If it does not work, then look for AcroTray.exe in your Distiller folder. This application must be working if the print to Adobe PDF is to work correctly.

  • Acrobat 6 and Windows 7

    I would like to install Acrobat 6 onto Windows 7. I think it is first necessary to update Acrobat 6 into Acrobat 10? How do I do this?

    There is no way to install Acro 6 on Win 7 and you are way beyond any upgrade eligibility cycles. Simply buy a new license of Acrobat XI.

  • Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 Don't Work

    I just loaded Windows 7, now my Adobe Acrobat 8 doesn't create or combine pdfs.  Reloaded Acrobat 8 and still doesn't work.  Is there a patch to work with windows 7?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Well I finally got Acrobat 8 to work on my 64 bit windows 7 system. I put in all in a file in case I ever need to reload it. Here is what worked for me.
    To install Acrobat 8 on Windows 7
    1. Find folder data1.cab in installation files and drag AdobePDF.dll_64 onto desktop. Rename file AdobePDF.dll by deleting _64.
    2. Start installation process and when asked for file AdobePDF.dll from Vista disk use browse button and direct installation to file on desktop.
    3. After installation is complete try update (Help/Check for Updates) and after that check the version (Help/about ...). You need to update to at least ver. 8.1. If the Check for updates does not work - go to:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    and do AT LEAST the 8.1 update.
    4. Now you may try to print to the Adobe PDF printer but it probably will not work. If not, you will need to go to the Devices and Printers/Adobe PDF/Printer Properties/Advanced and set it to "Print Directly to Printer".
    That process should allow you to create .pdf files from the print menu. But be advised that sometimes it is necessary to click on the flashing icon in the lower tray to bring up the "Save" box after the print is initiated.

  • URL works within Acrobat Standard and and not within Acrobat Reader...

    Hello.
    I faced a really strange thing today.  I created a report PDF through Xcelsius.  In this PDF, I have a Flash button which, when clicked, would link to an Excel (.xls) file within our LAN.  The link works within Acrobat Standard 8.0 but not within Acrobat Reader 9.0.  I have examined the preferences on both and they are identical (as far as I can see).
    Details:
    Software used:  Xcelsius 2008 SP1
                           Acrobat Standard 8.0.0
    Link address:   G:\Management\[sub-directory]\[sub-sub-directory]\[filename].xls
    Any help at all will be welcomed and appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I am trying to open the .xls in Excel through a web browser.   There is no scripting to the link, simply a file:\\ address that would pull up the spreadsheet (with macros) in IE 7 and above.
    Addendum:  I uninstalled my Acrobat Reader 9.0 and installed Reader 8.2 and the link worked!  Strange.  I do, however, need it to work in 9.0 as there is a mix of Acrobat Reader versions within the hospital.
