Acrobat Pro 7 self-heal problem - 10.4.x standard account admin permissions

Hi,
Installed Acrobat Pro 7 as part of Adobe CS 2 - one brand-new G5, and one erase-and-new-install of Tiger 10.4.6 and all apps on a G4 eMac. Same problem on both.
When in a standard user account, repeatedly on launch (apparently during the install/heal step) Acrobat requests administrator password. It fails there without it. And if you give it, it is required again the next time you launch. Permissions repair, etc., and re-install did not help. Nothing came up at the official Adobe support knowledgebase.
Found http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060224083356302 which suggested manually editing the Root/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/CS2ENUProSelfHeal.xml file (changing instances of "Bib" to "BIB" in some .frameworks).
The Adobe User-to-User forums at http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?[email protected]@.3bbede30 discussed editing additional files inside the Acrobat application package (Adobe Acrobat Professional/Contents/MacOS/AcroENUProSelfHeal.xml and /CS2ENUProSelfHeal.xml), as well as others that the Acrobat installer puts inside of Safari - once again for Bib/BIB.
All this apparently to prevent some sort of cyclical self-break/self-heal that needs admin permission on every launch of the app - the problem appearing to be (with OS X case sensitivity) that app looks for and (re)writes individual files by "different" names in various places (i.e. "AdobeBibUtils.framework" vs "AdobeBIBUtils.framework) in this app.
These edits didn't work in my case. I wonder if any other files might also need to be changed - in fact I saw Bib/BIB use inside of some other CS2 app related files as well.
Would rather not permit general admin access to public machines. Would rather not edit application files. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Hi welcome
Check out this link, should help
Also, network issues are involved with 10.4.6

    if i upgrade to Acrobat Pro will I still retain my Formcentral original Account?

    Hi terrylew757,
    Please see this thread: Is Forms Central part of the Creative Cloud subscription?
    With Acrobat Pro, you get FormsCentral at the free level. If you want the additional functionality that the paid subscriptions offer, you'll want to keep your FormsCentral subscription.
    Best,

    Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
    What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
    Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
    This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

  • Acrobat Pro 8 Printing Problems with Xerox 252 Fiery

    printer: Xerox 252 with Fiery Controller
    Software: Acrobat Pro 8
    OS: WinXp pro
    The problem occurs when I am printing a binder that consists of 8x11 and 11x17's. The printer locks up and does not print. We have had the Xerox techs come out but after numerous trouble shooting efforts we came to a conclusion that there is an issue with Acrobat 8.
    Also, in order to print an 8x11 or 11x17 there is a need to go through and set the file size for each time we print. The check box "print by pdf source size" is checked and we are still having problems.
    I've had no issue with Acrobat 7 and the problems I'm having are with Acrobat pro 8.

    Correction it's a Xerox Docucolor 242 PS with Fiery

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2 problem printing to from IE8

    I have been having a pretty consistant problem since doing a clean install of Win7 Pro and Acrobat Pro 9.2.  If I print preview a webpage and then try to print from it to a .PDF, the screen comes up asking where to file the printout and just hangs.  I can't do anything in the windows explorer window that opens to pick a place to save the file.  I can't cancel it.  The only way to get back it to force it shut down IE8.
    Anyone else experiencing this and have you found a solution?
    I have also had a few site where a link opens a .PDF and the same thing happens if you try to save the .PDF that you are viewing.
    Thanks,

Anyone have any ideas?
    Try Running Disk Utilites and Repair Permissions.
    Use a Utility such as Cocktail, or Oynx to remove Font cache files.
    Run Font Book and Resolve Font Conflicts (more than one copy of the Same Font).
    Also while in Font Book select all you fonts  (Command/apple-A) click on a Font, then choose Validate Fonts.
    Try these and come back with results. Someone else  May be able to come along and suggest something else to look at.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.4 Problems

    I am having several problems with my Acrobat Pro. When I am adding pages to a document, (dragging and dropping from explorer) the pages pane is hiding pages where I can't get to them. If I have 11 pages, and the page pane set to see two pages at a time, the 11 page will be just barely peaking out at the bottom but the scroll bar won't go down any further. I can't place pages at the end of the document cause I can't see the last page.
    Also, it keeps adding multiple drawings backwards....... if you grab documents 1 - 5 in explorer, drag and drop them into acrobat, acrobat drops them 5-1.....
    It didn't use to do this. It has been doing it for a couple of months. I am on a fresh install of the whole computer so it is not corrupted software. It has to be in one of the last updates. There has to be a way to fix this.
    Thanks

    Any idea about the backwards thing?

  • Acrobat Pro X font problems.....

    Afternoon
    When we print combined docs from acrobat pro x it is corrupting the fonts and but square boxes or jibberish in place of text, however if we take the same document and print it from Acrobat 9 it works?????
    Any ideas why?

    Thanks so much for your response.  I actually tried this first and had the same results.  Since I posted this, I was able to find a solution.  There is a problem with IE9.  After downloading Google Chrome and following the download instructions, everything worked fine.  Hope this helps others.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 License Problems

    We have successfully installed Acrobat Pro 9.3 on several Windows XP machines, but on others when we try to install we get an error stating that we have an invalid serial number.  It is an enterprise serial number, and like I said does work for most machines.
    Any ideas on why the license works for some but not others.

    They are setup the same.  The weird thing is I can install Adobe Acrobat 8 just fine on the machines that will not allow me to install 9.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 Installation Problem

    I've had Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 running fine for several years on XP Pro.  Our company rolled out upgraded hardware with a new image about a year ago, and I cannot successfully install 8 on any of the units.  Most recent issue, using CD, install went up to accepting end user license. I accepted and then installation froze and I had to End Program.  When I try to launch now, Getting Started splash screen comes up then program freezes and terminates.  It seems like a permissions/security issue, can anybody assist?

    I assume the new system is Win7 and most likely a 64-bit system. If so, you may just have to upgrade to AA XI. Folks have gotten AA8 to work on a Win7 32-bit system. You might be successful if you download the updates for AA8 and install those. I think it took at least AA8.1 to work with a 64-bit XP.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 - Signature - problems

    I have used Acrobat Pro for a number of years for editing and filling out forms (newbie).
    I had a signature set up in the last Acrobat (I think 7) which was a typed signature saying it was digitally signed and gave the name and date.
    Here is my question:
    I am completely lost in trying to set up my signature in Adobe and need some help.  I have 2 signatures in .jpeg form and would like to use these if possible.
    Thank you guys for your help and I have continually browed the forums and picked up a few tricks of the trade.

    Is this something you want to use as the signature appearance for a digital signature, or just add the image as you would with a stamp?

  • Acrobat Pro X launch problem

    I am having trouble launching Acrobat Pro X trial after downloading to my lap top - any ideas why this is happening ?

    Ankit,
    That is correct - nothing happens.
    Today I ran scans and the following messages were sent:
    1: 'Incompatible Application' with the triangular warning sign
    2: 'Acrobat failed to send a DDE command'
    I am getting to the point of frustration and going to uninstall everything before it does
    damage to my hard drive.
    I also understand that uninstall will not remove all aspects of the program from my
    hard drive but this is giving me a very bad impression of the Acrobat program.

  • Uninstalled Acrobat Pro (part of CS 5.5 Design Standard) and now need to reinstall. How??

    I am so confused. I have CS 5.5 Design Standard running on a Windows 7 computer. I have the serial number. The problem is, I stupidly uninstalled Acrobat Pro and now need to reinstall it. What do I do? I downloaded Acrobat Pro X from the download link on the Adobe site but it won't take my serial number. I am guessing because the serial number pertains to the entire Creative Suite, not just Acrobat.
    Please help. Thanks!

    Correct. You need to use the full suite installer.

  • Reinstall Acrobat Pro Upgrate 7 Problem

    Several years ago I upgraded to Acrobat 7 Pro (and then to 7.1). My hard drive recently died and had to rebuild the new one. Now Acrobat 7.1 is asking for the registration number, but it then seaches for older version which is no longer on drive. Don't even think I have the disk. How do I get Acrobat 7.1 working? What's the work-around?
    I tried calling Adobe and now have been on hold 2 x for 1/2 hour each time. Do they answer their phones? Haven't had to contact them in years.

    Did you notice  the information in bold text (I put text in bold)? The information about inserting CD might not work.
    Rest of your information seems appropriate.
