Acrobat 9 with FrameMaker 7.2

Hello,
I'm running FrameMaker 7.2p158, Acrobat 7.1.0, and Windows XP, everything patched up to date.
I've recently acquired the latest version of the Technical Communication Suite, which includes Acrobat 9. I'm not ready to install FM8 yet, but I would like to play with Acrobat 9.
Does anyone have any experiences or caveats they'd like to share about running FrameMaker 7.2 in conjunction with Acrobat 9? I'd very much appreciate any insight that anyone may have.
Thanks,
Jon

Jon:
Any particular aspect with the installation that you had problems with?
Gee -- I wish I did know how to make A'9 install cleanly. If I did, I'd offer that knowledge as a consulting service.
That is to say that recently all four writers who tried to install it at one customer location had problems getting the A'9 to work properly after installation -- and each person's problems were all slightly different.
And, alas, so too were the responses to those problems offered by Adobe support. In one case A'Support recommended running a cleanup tool, in one case it insisted that the program should install with the same serial number as the Tech Comm Suite that putatively includes A'9 (it never did), and in another case it "punted" and gave the I.T. folks a new, separate serial number to circumvent the otherwise unresolvable installation problems.
In my admittedly subjective opinion, the central problem since Acrobat 7 or so is that the Acrobat installation programs have been so overloaded with processes intended to prevent copied or pirated installation that they've instead become impenetrable barriers to legitimate installation...
Cheers & hope this helps,
Riley

Is Adobe Acrobat XI compatible with Framemaker 8?

Installing the trial version of Acrobat has uninstalled the Adobe pdf printer instance from my Framemaker 8 installation. I can no longer make pdf's with Framemaker! Can these two Adobe products run on the same machine? How do I get Framemaker working again - do I have to reinstall?

re: ... this problem seems firmly placed at Adobe's doorstep ...
Yes and no.
The problem of FM trashing Acro installs, and vice-versa, without warning, is something we can definitely lay at the doorstep of the Adobe abode.
Adobe main apps tend to co-exist (if the older ones run at all on new platforms, and that's usually beyond Adob's control).
The problem of old and new drivers (Ps/PDF drivers, PDFwriters, etc.) coexisting is not trivial. If the drivers maintain their same names, stomp. If they churn the names, it breaks user expectations and possibly some scripts (like SetPrint).

Set PDF Document Properties Initial View by Acrobat SDK with C#

Hi,
Here am trying to set the PDF document initial view by the Acrobat SDK with C#.
Here I am show my screen shot which properties I want to set.
For this process I am referred Acrobat SDK and also following Adobe forums they also asked similar question.

      doc.Save(1, @"D:\..\sap.pdf");
      doc.Close();
From the above code {doc.SetPageMode(3);} is working for set the page mode.
But I am having problem in following code {doc.SetOpenInfo(1,1,"Fit Width");}
Because it won’t work I do’t known, and there is no clear samples in the SDK reference document.
So please give advice and clear sample code/syntax to meet above needs which are marked in red box.

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data,
thanh xả tràn
I have a PDF form which gets submitted to the server using a submit (server-side) button. The data is then received in XML format by a ColdFusion component which does some validation and stores it into the database.
This PDF form is usually filled in by our clients using Adobe Reader 8 or below. While most of the times(and I mean like 96-97% of the times) everything goes well, at times we receive blank data into our database!! This renders couple of other features in our application useless as they try to parse an XML which does not exist.
I do believe that this is not a problem at the ColdFusion side because all it does is trim(ToString(toBinary(GetHttpRequestData().content))).
Does anyone has a clue as to why the data will be lost upon form submission?? I have done a lot of googling around it but in vain!

There is an outside chance someone is just playing with you and submitting a blank form. Not uncommon if someone is not too familiar with forms.

Installing Acrobat XI with Application Manager gave error 1624

Installation of Acrobat XI with Application manager gave these error messages:

I downloaded and used the Adobe Acrobat/Reader Cleaner then successfully installed Acrobat XI with the Application Manager.
Thanks for helping me find the fix.

Acrobat versions conflicts, GetObject of a specific Acrobat version with dotnet

Hello,
I am developing a Windows/VB.Net application that uses "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library" to interact with Acrobat.
At a certain point this application must launch Acrobat 7.0 and to do that I use a GetObject(, "acroexch.app") and a CreateObject("acroexch.avdoc") to instanciate an Acrobat.CAcroApp and an Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc object:
Dim acroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp = GetObject(, "acroexch.app")
Dim acroAvDoc As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc = CreateObject("acroexch.avdoc")
If acroAvDoc.Open(path, filename) Then
acroApp.Show()
Else
acroApp.Exit()
End If
This works fine except when Acrobat 5.0 is also installed on the PC.
Because if the user has admin rights and launches Acrobat 5.0 then the next time he/she tries my application it raises an exception on "acroAvDoc.Open(path, filename)". I know that this problem comes from Acrobat 5.0 because when the user launches Acrobat 7.0 and executes the "Detect and Repair" menu item (under "?" menu) then my application works fine again.
So my questions are:
1°) is it possible to specify the Acrobat version when using CreateObject and GetObject? As with a kind of GetObject(, "acroexch.app.acrobat7")?
2°) is it possible to avoid the registry modification made when Acrobat 5.0 is executed with admin rights?
3°) if none of the previous points are possible then is there any other way around this problem? (such as executing Acrobat 7.0 with Shell(acrobat7ExePath) and then retrieving the Acrobat.CAcroApp from the ProcessID?)
Any hint will be helpful.

Aandi, thank you for your reply. If Acrobat 5 has been launched at least once after installing Acrobat 7 then it modifies the registry in such a manner that even if you restart the computer and execute Acrobat 7 all ProgIDs from the SDK refer to Acrobat 5 (and then my application crashes). So you are right, using GetObject and CreateObject with the PRogIDs "acroexch.app" and "acroexch.avdoc" will not lead anywhere with conflicting versions of Acrobat.
About executing Acrobat 7 with the "Shell()" command, is it possible to instanciate the Acrobat.CAcroApp object only by knowing the ProcessID?
Such as (with acroPath being the path to Acrobat 7.0 exe file):
Dim processID as integer = Shell(acroPath, AppWinStyle.MinimizedNoFocus)
Dim proc As Process = Process.GetProcessById(processID)
Dim acroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp = SuperUnknownFunction(proc)
To John T Smith: sorry if I did a mistake when I chose "Acrobat Windows" forum for my post. As this problem was tightly related to Windows registry I thought that it was the right place. Is it possible to move this discussion on another forum?

Uninstall and then re-install Acrobat Pro with CS6 Master Suite

Hello,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and could not open pdfs (or indeed open Acrobat XI Pro at all). I have CS6 Master Suite, and I seem to recall Acrobat coming with that purchase, whether it's officially part of CS6 or not.
Forums suggested uninstalling and re-installing Acrobat. I've uninstalled but am now struggling to find where/how to re-install Acrobat from my account on Adobe.com.
Any pointers please?

Thank you very much for your answer - but the problem is that I went down that route to no avail.
I only have one serial number, and that's the one I got when I purchased CS6 Master Suite. Acrobat XI seemed to come as part of this.
But when I use my CS6 serial number, the Acrobat installer doesn't like it.
To my knowledge, I don't have any other serial numbers at my disposal.
Any ideas?

Trouble opening acrobate files with reader 10.1.7.

I have trouble opening acrobate files with reader 10.1.7. When I click on the file to open it with adobe reader x, nothing happens. If I click on Adobe Reader X icon, a message comes up: preparing to install. After that, I can open a PDF, but only until the next reboot.

Something went amiss during the install. Windows keeps trying to finish the incomplete install every time Reader opens.
Use the Adobe Cleaner to completely remove Reader.
Download the offline installer and reinstall without a download manager

Requesting thoughts on Documentum, Sharepoint, and CMS with FrameMaker

My company is considering getting a CMS to be used with structured FrameMaker. We now have version 9 but willing to upgrade to version 10. I know that version 10 has the ability to connect to Documentum and Sharepoint.
I would like to know others' experiences with FrameMaker and a CMS...any CMS.
At the present, we work from shared drives, copying all imported illustrations (eps) by reference.
A few years ago I worked at a company that had Documentum. At that time, the writers had to check out all the illustrations and the Frame files to their desktops, copy the illustrations in by reference, make the PDF, and then check all back into Documentum. At the time, the rule was that one could not link to files within Documentum, only file on the desktop.
So, I am wondering if the above is still true. Moreover, how do others handle the need to link to illustration files that are in the CMS without (if at all) checking them all out. We create large manuals (200-300 pages) with many illustrations that are used in multiple manuals.
Any thoughts about Documentum, Sharepoint, or any other CMS is appreciated. I am not looking for dissertations on the subject, just indications whether it can be done and if not, how it is done.
Thanks in advance,
Van

Deploying Acrobat DC with Creative Cloud Packager

How are you guys deploying Acrobat DC with the Creative Cloud Packager?
In this Adobe's article for the CC Packager, it says, "For Acrobat DC, Exception Deployer Application is not required. For Acrobat DC, you only need to run the setup.exe ... you need to run the main CCP package msi after running the Acrobat DC setup.exe. However you need to run Exception deployer in postmode, if there are other application (except Acrobat DC) in the Exceptionsfolder of win package."And when they say, "run the setup.exe", they actually mean from the command line using a bunch of (undocumented?) parameters.I noticed that when I run the Exception Deployer in post mode, it deploys Acrobat DC, contrary to what the article says.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi Ric,
the licensing information is installed by the setup.exe or the MSI in the "build" directory, so you need to execute that as well, e.g.
cd Exceptions\APRO15.0en_US\Adobe Acrobat\
start /wait msiexec /i "AcroPro.msi" /qn /lv* %TEMP%\AcrobatInstall.log
cd ..\..\..\Build
start /wait msiexec /i "PackageName.msi" /qn /lv* %TEMP%\PackageName.log
cd ..\Exceptions
ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=post
Note that if you choose to use the msiexec method to install Acrobat, the default language will be determined by the operating system language.
The ExceptionDeployer is necessary for the possibility there are other applications in the package (e.g. Edge Code, Scout) which need to be installed after the main "build" directory's packages.
Hope that helps,
Dominic

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls - CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") does NOT open its window in the CreateObject("AcroExch.App") - but opens a new (invisible) window. Works correctly in XP x64 and 32 bit Vista - happens with Acrobat v8 and v9.

Again, I contend that something changed between 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.

In 8.1.2 you did not have to perform this extra step.

Yesterday I went through the necessary steps to download the 29.99 plan as I am a former user. I clicked on download and I got an acrobat workspace with Icons and options. I didn't have clue what this was about but I expectee a credit card purchase area

Earlier today tried to purchase CCSuite and I clicked on to the button or box for former users of Adobe software. $29.99 a month is the plan. Clicked join and
clicked onto download software. I got an Acrobat workspace with icons I don’t understand. Also a informative warning that all files will be deleted on jan such 2015. I thought I had purchased a 1 year program
I have not seen any progress bar indicating software being
downloaded or any download progress bar. I don’t know how to proceed.

Please inbox the Email ID & the CC order number in order to check & investigate.
Do send the information in private.
