Acrobat Pro 7 and Acrobat Reader

Hi,
I want to use the "send for review" feature of my aging Acrobat Pro 7 and am wondering if (1) current versions of Acrobat Reader can work this way with my version 7 or (2) there are older versions of Reader available for download.
It's been a while since I've used this process, so I'm trying to get up to speed -- more or less. :-)
Thx/J
[System: Early 2009 iMac 24, OS X 10.5.8]

Hi Sarah,
Please try repairing Acrobat by navigating to the 'Help'menu and select 'Repair Acrobat installation..'
Also update Acrobat to the latest update 10.1.7 and check.

  • How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

    I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
    Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
    Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
    Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
    Any help is very Appreciated

    eh,
    The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
    I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
    foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
    That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
    Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
    If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

  • NVDA and JAWS won't read doc in Acrobat Pro and Free Reader correctly!

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to create 508-compliant, accessible PDFs.
    I first created the doc in Word, and, using the Acrobat tab, created a PDF for accessibility purposes, and it prompted me to save it as a PDF. I entered the name and saved, and it automatically opened the PDF version of the doc in Acrobat Pro with the "Make Accessible" tool bar open on the right-hand side.
    I went through the reading order and tagged and organized everything to be in the correct order, and then I filled in the Alt Tags for images/figures. Then I had the system perform an accessibility check. It told me the tags would need to be checked manually, as do the colors, and the title was missing. (I had entered the title and source info, etc. into the document's properties, in accordance with an Adobe Acrobat article I'd read on creating accessible docs. I don't know why the title wasn't being noted.)
    I tested the doc's accessibility with the Adobe built-in reader, and it worked perfectly- everything was read in the correct order in which I'd tagged it- including the alt tags!
    When I tried opening the doc in the free Adobe Reader, however, it wasn't read at all. I then opened my screen readers (one at a time)- JAWS and NVDA- and neither one would read the document, unless I clicked the cursor on a particular part of the text, etc. I need this to read the document- in its entirety- automatically!
    Please help!!

    Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
    BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
    It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner.  Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

  • Installed Acrobat Pro and uninstall Reader does not work defaults back to Reader

    I've installed Acrobat Pro, after installing Acrobat Reader.  After I uninstall Reader and click on a PDF file, it automatically opens it in Reader.  I've clicked Acrobat 9 as my preferred software, but next time, it reverts back to opening in Reader.  I'm using a lenovo Yoga laptop with Windows 8.1.

    Thank you very much for your reply.  This didn't work.  As you can tell, this is not a high priority for me, just annoying that I have to uninstall Reader every time I open a PDF.  It will open in Acrobat after that, 'til I shut down my laptop.
    Here's the order:  I installed Acrobat Reader.  Then I installed Acrobat Pro.  Then I uninstalled Acrobat Reader.  But when I click on a PDF file, it reopens in Acrobat Reader (I don't use Microsoft Reader - at least on purpose!)  Somehow Acrobat Reader is not completely uninstalling and reactivates.  Our computer consultant tried to fix it, but couldn't.   He said he thot some of his research showed this was a problem in Windows 8 and 8.1?
    I just tried going into Programs in the Control Panel and Acrobat Pro 9 only shows Uninstall/Change, not Repair.  However, I clicked through and got to Repair.  Tried that (which I've actually done before) and still didn't work.

  • Security matching between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader

    I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro that requires information to be filled out in boxes as well as signatures to complete the form. I've tested the form on different computers that bring it up in Adobe Reader. I'm trying to make them compatible. My Security options on Pro for the document show that everything is allowed (printing, changing the document, signing, etc.) but when it is opened up in Reader it shows most of those as Not Allowed.  I need to change that but I'm not sure how. I need the form to be compatible for Reader so that others can fill out the information needed and then submit via email back to me. Please advise on what to do to make that happen, if possible. I need details! Thanks!!

    You can enable certain features in Reader, such as digitally signing and saving, by Reader-enabling the document in Acrobat. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
    A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader fighting for Safari frameworks folder...

    We manage hundreds of Macs of which most are at 10.4.8.
    We have both Acrobat Pro and Reader 7.0.8 installed on all Macs.
    Sometime within the last few weeks something has changed on our systems (eg: upgrading from something under 10.4.8 to 10.4.8) that is causing Acrobat Pro and Reader to fight for the Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/ folder. This folder contains aliases to either Pro or Reader frameworks within that Acrobat app's own frameworks folder (...Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Frameworks/)
    This issue is that the end user is prompted to authenticate for either Reader or Pro to "repair itself" which it is just changing the aliases within the Safari Frameworks folder to point to their own frameworks.
    If I set Preview as the default pdf viewer and then delete Acrobat Reader so that only Preview and Acrobat Pro are on the client, then it seems to work beautifully without authentication request. We would like to keep Reader on the systems though. We use Sassafras' Keyserver with a limited number of licenses for Acrobat Pro.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Found a solution, etc?
    Thanks!

    I agree with rikbarry - I finally reinstalled Acrobat, then ran the 
    update to 9.4.5. The updater took nearly an hour to finish which can't 
    be normal, but the software appears to be the correct version now.
    I work for a very small graphic design company and use an older emac 
    that has pretty much reached its shelf life for many apps and OS. 
    Could my aging computer be contributing to the problem?
    Because we depend heavily on pdf workflow, I chose to reinstall 
    WITHOUT running the uninstaller first, as the 9.4.4 version was at 
    least still functioning. I was somewhat surprised that it worked, and 
    I am NOT looking forward to the next updater.

  • Acrobat Pro and Reader 9.4.4 to 9.4.5 Updates Fail

    I was unable to get a satisfying answer via phone support, and after connecting with a supervisor, I was disconnected. So here goes...
    (Mac OS X 10.6.8) Adobe Updater 6  began notifying me recently that updates were available for Adobe Reader from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
    Adobe updater soon notified me of the need to update my Acrobat Pro from 9.4.4 to 9.4.5, but but my attempts to follow instructions resulted in Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because the Acrobat Pro application contents were modified since the original installation. Please reinstall Acrobat Pro and check for updates again."
    When Adobe updates its software, I shouldn't have to "reinstall" old software and "check for updates again" in order to install the update. Surely Adobe can offer a more direct, convenient way for customers to update their licensed software?

  • I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

    I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.  I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks.  Error message says "Opening printer connection failed.  Unable to open printer connection . . . "  This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above.  I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat!  What's going on?  Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

  • Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

    I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good.  I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad.

    If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save.  If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved.  If I select “Save”, the modification is saved.  So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save.  Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
    With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit.  So there is no prompt to Save on close.  The modifications are saved automatically.
    If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
    Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
    You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open.  Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user.  This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
    I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • Need help - Print Menue in Acrobat Pro and Standard

    Hello,
    at first, i have to apologize for my bad englisch because I'm german.
    I downloaded a Trial of Acrobat pro and there I hava an extended Print menue where I can choose individual Color Profiles.
    There is an image attached.
    But I don't really need the Acobat pro Features, because I need Acrobat only for Color Printing on my Printer. And it ist expensive.
    So my Question to you is: Is this extended Print menue also in Acobat 9 Standard?
    There is no Trial, so that I hope, that someone can help me.
    Can I also set this settings in Acrobat 9 Standard?
    Thank you very much for helping me with my buying decision.
    Greetings from Munich
    Sebastian

    The Advanced Print menu in 9 Standard does not have all of the options that are in your screen shot.
    Checked with a coworker who has 9 Standard, and the options are much more limited. (I have 8 Pro).
    Bad news is you would need 9 Pro.
    Saw this the other day; sorry for the slow answer, good luck.

  • Acrobat Pro versus Acrobat Reader

    Hi
    I apologize about this very basic question. However, a Google search failed to return an answer, so I am asking it here.
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed on my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine, as part of the Adobe CS4 package. I keep all Adobe products (including Acrobat) updated to the latest versions/patches.
    My question concerns viewing PDF documents in my web browser, such as Firefox or Chrome. I am concerned about some of the vulnerabilities in Acrobat Reader (and Acrobat Pro), which allow the introduction of malware by viewing PDF documents on the web.
    So, specifically, I would like to know:
    1. Since I already have Acrobat Pro installed, I don't really need Acrobat Reader, do I? Under Control Panel > Installed Programs on my computer, I do not see Acrobat Reader installed, and yet I am able to view PDF documents in my browser. I am assuming this is because Acrobat Pro includes a reader, and this is what is invoked by the browser when it encounters a PDF document. Am I right in thinking this?
    2. I wanted to turn OFF javascript in the Acrobat Reader. Again, since I don't seem to have Acrobat Reader installed, I turned it off in Acrobat Pro (this is again for security reasons, to avoid some exploits which use javascript inside the Acrobat Reader). Will turning off javascript inside Acrobat Pro also turn it off in whatever software my browser is using to display PDFs?
    Thanks.

    You seem to be covered.
    No, if you have Acrobat, you don't need Reader plus, it is a non-recommended nor supported setup. They have issues with each other when they are both installed on the same machine.
    Will turning off javascript inside Acrobat Pro also turn it off in whatever software my browser is using to display PDFs? 
    Thanks.
    Yes. Your browser is using Acrobat Pro to view the PDF.

  • Install order of Acrobat Pro and other CC applications

    I work at a college and we're just getting started with Creative Cloud. When setting up the first seat of CC for my institution, it was a device license on a Windows 7 system. Only after my first attempt failed did I find the instructions for the command-line install of Acrobat Pro, and that it needed to be done before any other CC applications. This was surprising, but the instructions were effective after I uninstalled everything and started over.
    Now I have a named user to set up on a Mac OS 10.9.5 system, and I'd like to do it right the first time. Anyone out there have any advice for me on this?
    TIA, David

    The command line install for Acrobat Pro Windows 7 is not that bad, the install information is all included in the packager once the its created.
    In your exceptions folder there is file called Exceptioninfo.txt, if you read this you will see the correct way to install using command line.  Below is an example of how to create a batch file to double click instead of typing these commands repeatedly.
    Going even one step further you can do the following.
    1) Copy the deployment package to the desktop
    2) in the Exceptions folder create a new text document and call it "Acrobat_installer" or something of that nature, copy and paste the following into it.
    cd \users\(username) \desktop\(Package folder name)\(package name)\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    3) Enter your windows user profile name in (user name) - Enter the (package folder name) enter the (package name you created)
    4) Save the text document as "Acrobat_installer.bat"
    Keep in mind you will copy this .bat file into the exceptions folder of your deployment package.
    Lastly ensuring the user name is correct, run the batch file(.bat)  on the PC.
    Here is my example:  Bold are the parts I mentioned above.
    cd users\cpreslar\desktop\TAG_CCIP_7_14_2014\TAG Creative Cloud Installer Package 7142014\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    Feel free to use this next time you have to do a windows deployment.
