Acrobat 9 standard no copy without encryption

I just upgraded from 6 to 9. I want to prohibit copying in security but the dialog box wants to encrypt and I don't want to encrypt. I just want to disallow copying.

The confusion, I think, may be assoicated with a very unhappy change made in Adobe Acrobat. At one time, you could protect files from being changed without using encryption. (This was very valuable for permitting web located files to be accessed by Search Engines.) Now however, you can only protect files from change if you use encryption. This is actually in contradiction to the dialogue box one gets when saving files under security. Making the files available to Adobe Reader 7 and later, you should be able to save them without encryption. But that doesn't happen. If you want to protect the files from change, you end up having to encrypt them.
If someone knows how to make files available for anyone to read; and at the same time protect those files from being changed -- without using encryption -- please post. That information would be highly valued.

Can I download Adobe Acrobat XI Standard again after my hard drive crashed without having to pay for another copy?

My hard drive crashed and along with it my Adobe Acrobat XI standard purchased last year. How can I reinstall the program without having to purchase another copy?

Hi Fred.
Here are the links to install the software again if you don't have it as well as info on how to find your serial number, and information on activation and deactivation.

Retail Copy of Acrobat XI Standard can't be installed! Help!

I purchased a retail copy of Acrobat XI Standard, without realizing my all-in-one 20" tablet/desktop pc didn't have a disk drive. Now I need to be able to download a copy, but since i got it at the local computer store, and not online at Adobe.com, I dont have any history in my adobe account, under "my order history," that would alow me to click on the link to download. I did manage to get the copy registered to my account, but i need to get a downloadable copy, somehow. can anyone help me?

"owners of CS2 or earlier, should download the non-activation version of CS2 from that link" the link though says, "You can use the serial numbers provided as a part of the download only if you legitimately purchased CS2, CS2 applications, Acrobat 7, or Audition 3." It says CS2 but not CS, does that mean i couldn't use that link?
CS owners are happily downloading and using CS2 via that link.
Adobe has made no other option possible for owners of "activation required" versions earlier than CS2 so CS2 is your only option regardless of the wording at the link..
Does that in a sense mean no matter what CS copy you buy it will eventually be shut down and your access to it will be cut off even if you had bought it when it was still working?
No-one knows the future of deactivation of existing products. In the history of activation, Adobe has only ever shut down an activation server once (CS2) and made an alternative possible for owners of that version.
Activation is Adobe's inherently flawed attempt to curb casual piracy. It was always going to fail eventually. It only ever hurts legitimate owners of the software. The Cloud is Adobe's next gen anti-piracy measure.
I'm extremely repulsed by the idea of having to pay a monthly fee for CC and would rather pay a flat (but realistic) price for the CS, but will go to photoshop CC if there is no other choice because an online workshop classes program i'm looking to sign up for requires either photoshop CS or CC (but strongly discourages elements).
You can still purchase CS6 Creative Suite 6
If you're signing up for online classes, I would suspect they expect you to be running either CS6 or Cloud versions of the software.
Learning Photoshop online using 11 year old software sound like a recipe for confusion and frustration.

In Adobe Acrobat X Standard, our user used to be able to resize drawings to 8.5 x 10, it stopped working yesterday. It allows her to do this without an error but the size does not change?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

How do a edit a scanned pdf? In photoshop or acrobat 9 standard If in photoshop, how do I copy,

how do a edit a scanned pdf? In photoshop or acrobat 9 standard If in photoshop, how do I copy, move and save a letter or word?

You can open a pdf in the PSE editor. When you open the pdf, a dialog will ask you which page to chose (if it's a multipage pdf) and which parameters to use for the conversion to bitmap.
Since you are on a flattened bitmap (psd, tiff, png, jpeg...) all text will be converted and you won't be able to edit text (which is vector format).

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software. I am trying to move my Adobe to a new laptop.

Actually, you are out of luck if you are looking for Acrobat Standard. I have run into a problem because the link is for Adobe 9.0 Pro and the serial no. for Std. won't work. I asked Adobe customer (chat) service for a downloadable of the Standard and they said they don't have one. Did you get the Std. version as part of the preinstalled software on your computer? If so, it would be on the recovery media of your old laptop but I don't know how you would retrieve it from there. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Let me know if you find out how to get the media for the Standard by responding on this thread. Thanks.

Accidently closed a Acrobat X Standard file without saving it, autosave is on, set for 5 minutes, but where do I find it?

Hi Michael,
That is not how the autosave feature works. Autosave helps in situations where program crashes/freezes or power goes out (basically, in situations where user have no control over the system). Closing the file without saving is not considered as unexpected interruption; it is intentional for most of the users.
When you close, save manually, or revert to the last-saved version of a file, the autosave file is deleted. Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Saving PDFs

Acrobat 9 standard save without changing pdf version

Hello,
I have a question, is it possible to save an edited PDF file (the original is in an old format PDF 1.3/1.4) in the same format it was before editing?
When I have edited the PDF with acrobat 9 standard it automatically changes the PDF version to 1.6.
Thanks in advance

There is no PDF Optimizer under advanced in acrobat 9 standard
Saving in older file format is only a acrobat pro option?

Install acrobat 9 standard to new PC without CD (lost) error invalid serial number

Why I have serial number but cannot install to new PC

So I tried to do some sleuthing on Adobe's FTP site.
They host every single incremental update file to the Adobe Acrobat 9 software, but not the installation software itself! How ridiculous!
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/
I also found out that other users are having the same issue:
Re: Need Acrobat 9 Standard download
Why should I have to waste more time arguing with the TST just to install something that could be public facing to begin with?

Reading adobe acrobat 8 standard with adobe acrobat 7.....I have to submit a CD of a paper presentation to a state DOT and they have requested that "the electronic copy should be in a .pdf format, version 7.0".

My files need to be saved to pdf today, and I am concerned that my Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard files may not be readable to someone who says they want the files saved in "pdf. format, version 7.0"......is that a misconception on their part, or do I need to do anything different? If I install version 7, it will probably overwrite my version 8, correct?
I appreciate any feedback to resolve any doubt of readability for the potential client.
Thanks, cdd

In Adobe Acrobat 8 use the menu Document > Reduce File Size...
