Acrobat Pro 9.3 update killed the application???

Ever since I installed the 9.3 update acrobat won't open at all.  Acrobat reader opens just fine, but acrobat pro bounces once in the dock and then...nothing.  I tried reinstalling from the original cd and even that stalls.  I select acrobat for reinstallation and tell it to install and nothing happens.
Any ideas out there?

My best is you have to remove all vestiges of Acrobat before re-installing. BTW, on the Mac Adobe recommends you not have Reader installed. When uninstalling Acrobat, make sure all preference files and application support files.

  • Acrobat pro 9.0 update needed

    I own a DVD set of CS3 Design Standard for Mac, including a second DVD named CS3.3 including Acrobat 9.
    I could not access the DVDs with the Remote Drive function of OSX (I am on a Macbook Air now, without DVD drive). Thus I downloaded CS3 from Adobe and entered the serial number. Works. However, I cannot update to 3.3/Acrobat 9 as there is no download available from Adobe for Mac.
    Using a proper external DVD drive should work, I guess - if I can get hold of one, not much motivated to buy one, though.
    Or is there another possibility of updating?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Jeff, thanks.
    I'll try the USB thing.
    However, I do not think that this is aspecific  Acrobat issue, as the
    original CS3 DVD didn't work either through remote, so I downloaded it
    from Adobe, which worked fine.

    Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

    One of two things:
    1.  Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key.  If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
    2.  If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log".  Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
    ./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
    If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again

  • How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

    How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

    This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
    and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
    You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
    If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

  • Adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid"

    I recently had my macbook pro logic board fail and had to purchase a new macbook pro (expensive reinvestment after only 3 years but that's another story).
    Anyway, all of my cs4 upsell products loaded just fine, except adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid." After contacting adobe thru chat several times, here is the info I got back: my serial number IS valid, I still can activate 3 more times (deactivation was not an issue in this case), the final answer was  the cs1 server (my previous version before cs4) is no longer available which basically renders my version of acrobat unusable. Is that really the case? Now that I have a new computer I can't use that software any longer it was working fine on my old laptop? Why did all the other software load okay? Did I miss something or is buying another upgrade neccessary?
    ps: using Macbook Pro with MacOS X.8.5

    Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver are all working just fine. I haven't needed any other apps yet since the reinstall. Install actually worked fine too for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I try to open anything in it I get the Software Setup Screen and it wants me to enter the serial number for the product, when I do it says the serial number is invalid. I included a screen shot below with the serial number removed so you can see. In chatting with adobe, my rep said it is a valid number (obviously since it worked fine on my other apps), but the server for CS1 is no longer available and since I have an upsell from CS1 they cannot offer me support and to take my question to the forum board, so here I am.

  • I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI full version but the serial number given to me is invalid

    I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI full version and the reseller sent me a serial number but when I install an error message says the serial number is invalid.
    The reseller claimed it is Adobe's problem not theirs.
    Adobe website is very confusing that I am not able to send an email to ask for help.
    It has been a week since I bought it and I am still not able to enjoy the program.
    How do I go about getting Adobe attention on my problem ?
    The reseller is:
    Digital River, International SARL
    98 Boulevard Du Prince
    L-1724 Luxembourg, Luxembourg
    They replied my email as follows:
    Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems, Inc.

    Ok, thanks for that. If the serial doesn't work, you will indeed need to contact Adobe. But here are some things to try first.
    1. Does it refer to a QUALIFYING PRODUCT? If so, enter the serial number of the OTHER product, not the one you just paid for.
    2. If you are copy/pasting the serial, try typing it. If you are typing it, try copy/pasting it.
    3. Make sure what you purchased matches what you downloaded. For instance, check you didn't buy Acrobat Standard and try to install Acrobat Pro. Or that you didn't buy a Mac product for use in Windows. And so on.

  • Hi guys, i would like to ask about the apple id.  Which at this time I have been using the new apple id, can I be able to continue updates all the applications that I have purchased by using the old apple id.

    Hey guys, I am newbie here ;(.. I have a question regarding my new apple id. at this moment i've still have all the applications that i've been purchased by using my old apple id.
    In case there are an update for the applications in my iphone, " Can i use my new apple id to update all the application that i've been purchased with my old apple id ". If its not possible to do, are there any suggestion for me to updates all the applications by using my new apple id ?
    Many thanks ;)

    Apps must be updated using the Apple ID used to originally download them to the device.
    If you cannot or will not use the old Apple ID, then you can delete the app, and then download it again using the current Apple ID.  Be aware that any paid apps will have to be purchased again.

  • Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

    I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
    The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
    It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
    I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

    I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
    To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
    So here it is, open:
    When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!
    Very annoying...

  • When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare th documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago

    When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare the documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark.  However, I know there a quite a few number of changes.  I raised this question more than a year ago, and the response I received had to do with the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents.  However, if I use Acrobat Pro XI to save the same documents in Word and then run a comparison in Word all of the changes are marked.  When a PDF is saved as a Word document in Acrobat Pro XI, is a different OCR module being used than the one used in Acrobat Pro XI for text recognition?

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...

  • Following the Acrobat Pro 11 upgrade we lost the Adobe LiveCycle Tools.  How do I get them back?

    Following the Acrobat Pro 11 upgrade we lost the Adobe LiveCycle Tools.  How do I get them back?

    Or you install the previous version to use LifeCycle from there. Other wise you should just develop your forms in Acrobat directly (or Forms Central if you prefer -- I would do in Acrobat). LifeCycle had some advantages, like dynamic forms, but I would guess most folks never took advantage of these features.
