Acrobat pro 9 in combination with acrobat reader X

In our company we have acrobat reader 9 installed on all desktops. About 5% of the users also make use of acrobat pro 9 and have both the pro and reader installed.
We now want to upgrade to acrobat reader X. This will work fine for the users who only have the reader, but can reader X and acrobat pro 9 coexist on the same system or do we get issues?

This will work. However, even though it's supported the installation of different products with different version across an enterprise environment introduces many variables, and there's no way that Adobe can test what soon becomes an infinite number of environments.
That said, the reason Reader X was designed to work with Acrobat 9.x (the later the version the better) is because its sandboxing features make it far more secure. So upgrading to Reade X is recommended. It would be wise to test your deployment on a few machines for a bit before deploying to all your users.

  • .pdf works in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8

    I have a dynamic .pdf that I created in Livecycle Designer.
    It works perfectly in Acrobat Pro 8 but not Adobe Reader 8.
    There is a function that highlights a form field orange. It is called from the enter event of every form field.
    There is another function that highlights a form field red if the field contains an invalid value. This is called from the exit event of every form field.
    When I enter a field in Reader 8, it highlights orange as it should but does not allow me to enter a value and it adds an additional blank page to the .pdf. Also, it does not highlight red as it should on exit.
    If I remove the enter script, the exit script works fine.
    I sent the .pdf to somebody to test and it worked perfectly for him in Reader 8.00 but not for me in 8.00 or 8.01 which makes me think maybe it is just a problem with my settings.
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you.

    Okay, I just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 8.1 and the .pdf fails there now too.
    So my problem is not an inconsistency between Acrobat and Reader, it is that the .pdf works in the earlier 8.0 but not the latest 8.1.
    I am happy to send the .pdf to anybody who wants to see it. Hopefully the problem is with my code and not the update.
    Thanks.

  • Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

    Good day.
    Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

    Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

  • Acrobat Pro XI - Crashes when Acrobat Preferences is Opened

    Hi
    Brief History:
    I am in the UK and run Mac OS X 10.8.2. Other Adobe products are CS3 Master Suite and Acrobat Pro 8. All installed on the Start Up Drive.
    Downloaded and installed the Trial version of Acrobat Pro XI, intent on UpGrading on the basis of a functional copy of Acrobat Pro 8 running on the Mac and duly registered in my Adobe Account.
    Happy with the Trial version the UpGrade Licence was purchased and the Serial Number was used in an attempt to convert the software to a Licenced version. However a message, something similar to that shown, declared:
    The Serial Number entered is valid. Acrobat cannot find a qualifying product.
    Whilst seeking help on the Adobe web site a ‘Chat’ system message popped up and subsequently a very helpful CS Agent ‘talked’ me through the problem. With the aid of Challenge Codes Acrobat Pro XI was made to accept the input of the Serial Number.
    It seemed to be the end of the problem, gone was the nag screen and everything seemed to be working well, leaving me to get on and enjoy using XI?
    For a few days everything seemed OK, then I tried to view a PDF from a web site and a message appeared:
    Adobe PDF Document
    There is a problem with the Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
    If it is running, please exit and try again. (4.9)
    This subsequently appeared at every attempt to view any PDF from the web.
    Downloading PDFs from web Links to the Mac and then opening them works without any problems.
    Remedial Actions:
    I have trashed the Acrobat Pro XI Preferences File (.plist), used Disk Utility to Repair Permissions and rebuilt the Launch Services Database amongst other things. None of these actions have made any improvement to the situation reported.
    The prospect of uninstalling Acrobat Pro XI was considered but due to the problems converting to the Licenced version I decided that being able to partially use Acrobat was better than having nothing at all.
    I moved on to see if anything could be done in Acrobat Preferences.
    Acrobat Pro XI Crashes:
    Opening Acrobat Pro XI, either with or without a PDF displayed, Acrobat opens and a few seconds after the Acrobat > Preferences Link is hit Acrobat Pro XI crashes. This happens for as many times as you care to try.
    A substantial Report is generated and is sent to Apple but not Adobe.
    Acrobat does not crash until Preferences is accessed.
    I am asking for help here because having had two more ‘Chats’ on the Adobe Help web site, the first Agent deferred my request ‘until the arrival of the Acrobat Experts‘. After waiting 4 hours as requested, the second Agent ignored all the information tendered asking only a few questions before informing me that ‘This Case will have to be answered by Telephone’.
    The fact that I always clearly inform that using the Telephone is difficult for me due to hearing problems was apparently of no consequence to this individual.
    I Telephoned and waited for an hour before hearing a human voice, thankfully the line was quite good.
    Unfortunately I was committed to other tasks and needed to break off from the conversation before any real progess was made.
    The CS Agent arranged for me to receive a Call Back. The time for the Call Back came and passed along with a few more hours. Whilst I was making ‘another’ cup of coffee the phone rang for about 5 ‘rings’ and cut off. Naturally it was a withheld number, this may have been the expected call?
    The Case that had been opened for this problem was upgraded with a copy of the Crash Report. On the next visit to my Account Case History all of my Cases were found to be marked as ‘Withdrawn‘ or ‘Not Appropriate’. IMO Adobe taking such retrospect action is not appropriate.
    I will start the ‘on-line help’ journey again tomorrow but will not be holding my breath awaiting a successful outcome and feel that it may be better to ask some questions in this Forum:
    1. Am I entitled to 90 Days, or any other period, of Free Support from Adobe?
    2. What is the best way to proceed toward getting a resolution to these problems?
    3. Can anyone offer a direct solution to the Acrobat Pro XI Crashing problem?
    Any input will be gratefully appreciated, best wishes, G

  • Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5.  How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
    When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
    So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
    I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
    I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
    I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
    I went to the  "Acrobat Uninstaller.app"  file in the  "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro"  folder and double clicked it.
    The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
    I manually selected the  "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app"  file in the  "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
    When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9  a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
    "Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
    There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
    Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
    I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
    Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
    What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
    Thank you for any help.

    I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
    Can you help?

  • Can't sign Acrobat Pro 6 PDF with Reader 8

    I have many documents created with Acrobat Pro 6. Some have signature fields (forms). My manager has Reader 8. When she opens the documents, the "sign" capability is not available. She clicks in the signature fields and nothing happens.
    From the File->Properties view, Security tab, Reader 8 shows "Signing: Not Allowed". From the same view in Pro 6, I see "Signing: Allowed".
    Is there something (short of buying Pro 8 ) I can do to my PDFs so my manager can sign them using Reader 8?
    Windows XP, Acrobat Pro 6, Acrobat Reader 8

    With Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES software, you can activate functionality within Adobe Reader (version 7 and above), enabling end users to save, fill in, annotate, sign, and submit PDF documents and forms:

  • Acrobat Pro X - Combine files to pdf not available in windows explorer

    I recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro X. With my previous version I could select a group of files, right click and the pop-up menu would allow me to select to combine the files into a pdf. This feature is no longer available after installing Acrobat Pro X. I am using Windows 7 Professional x64. Did Acrobat fail to install properly or was this feature eliminated?

  • New to Acrobat Pro 9 - Issues with Portfolio Management

    All
    With apologies, I am completely new to Acrobat Pro 9 - and this may have been answered before.
    I am using Acrobat Pro 9 as, hopefully, a file management system (in a Mac environment).  I want to be able to take all of my files - native format - and combine them into one portflio and arrange them in a certain order.
    No problem in creating the portfolio and dropping in the files, but I can't get them to arrange in the order I want.  When someone opens the file, I want them to be able to see the file layered as if it were a paper file.  So, for example, the most recent email would be on top, with the attachments going with that email directly behind it, then the previous correspondence behind that, a presentation given behind that, etc.
    The problem I have is that when I deposit the documents in the file, they are randomly assembled.  I don't want to use the sort chronologically button as the date created does not always reflect the actual date of the correspondence.
    Also, I am hoping that I can later add documents to the file not only on top (the most recent) but in the middle if I find a missing document, for example.
    I have tried creating a new tab to order the documents, but as soon as I start numbering them in order, the numbering of the others gets revised.  Very frustrating (plus with this method you would constantly have to renumber all the files everytime you added a new one).
    Please tell me this is possible and, if so, what I need to do.  I am assuming it is a simple thing, so thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer.

    Thank you for your response.  I got an error message as follows:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MSPUB_setclippath_7 ]%%
    Stack:
    [0.0 -1.0 1.0 0.0 -10200.0 6600.5]
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Any ideas?

  • Acrobat Pro 9, problems with CS5

    I recently installed CS5 over CS4, then I uninstalled all the CS4 programs, keeping Acrobat Pro 9, now when I open Acrobat it gives me the Adobe Acrobat is installed as a part of a suite to run you must open another product pop-up, I have tried running it with Photoshop CS5 but it still gives the same error, I s this because it was connected with CS4, what should I do so I can run Acrobat Pro 9?

    Since you uninstalled the rest of CS4 you removed the part that okayed Acrobat 9 to be activated. Uninstall Acrobat 9, then install the version that came with CS5.

  • Acrobat Pro V8 problem with rotating PDFs

    I have CS3 suite with Acrobat Pro V8.1.2 running on OSX 10.5.4.
    I rotate PDFs for our printer (photographic Lightjet430 laser printer using postershop) it saves time, and it also makes things easier for us in general.
    Now I sometimes rip the PDFs into photoshop, this is where my problem starts.
    If a PDF say 500mm wide X 2000mm high is rotated in Acrobat and re-saved so now 2000w X 500h. If I open this in Photoshop it shows me a preview as 2000wx500h BUT the size is reported as 500w X 2000h. If you then rip this PDF it will rip as 500mm wide X 125mm high (Wrong). The only way around this is to rotate this PDF back to 500w X 2000h then rip again and it will then rip as 500x2000.
    Now if I get this PDF and rotate using OSXs Preview, it will work. I open the PDF that I rotated in Preview and photoshop will show and tell me that it is 2000Wx500H and it rips as 2000x500.
    I have 7 other Macs with the same setup and they all do the same thing. I got a friend on a PC using XP and Acrobat 8.1.2 and it also did the same thing.
    Using another PDF program on his PC made it work.
    Now for some reason the Newer version of PosterShop 7.1 (wasn't a problem with Postershop 6.5) is doing strange things with PDFs rotated in Acrobat Pro V8.1.2. A PDF rotated in Acrobat to a Landscape will open as a Portrait. Leave the PDF as a Portrait and it will open as a Portrait. Now rotate the same file using Preview to a Landscape and Postershop will open it as a Landscape.
    Its like something in the PDF is not being changed to say its rotated, so both Photoshop and postershop get it wrong. Now the problems in Postershop may not be related, but even Photoshop is seeing this and ripping it wrong.
    Is there any thing I could try?
    I have got the rest of the team using Preview atm to rotate files for now.
    Thank you.

    My biggest issue GKaiseril is that this is something developed at a higher level than my department. You can find the Fillable PDF and Excel conversion spreadsheet at : www.dodprocurementtoolbox.com. I am not apart of the development team, just apart of a property team trying to get our attachment right. This has been an ongoing issue we've tried to resolve for a while now. The solution I posted above makes the file work, but I don't know if its a "solution" or a temp fix. If I can figure out what the actual issue is, I can suggest an actual fix to the machine or process.

  • Acrobat Pro 6.0 with Windows 8.1

    Is there a way to make Acrobat Pro 6.0 on Windows 8.1?

    Even if you succeed in installing the package, you would have to deal with a lot of workaround to get it to function. The print driver and AcroTray are two parts of the package that will fail. It is time to purchase a new version. AA6 is too old for an upgrade.

  • Thanks to Mandeep5062 Acrobat Pro download issue with Safari

    Before your response arrived I shut down Safari, loaded Firefox, went directly to the Adobe download page and attempted a download. The download started correctly and then switched over to the Creative Cloud downloader and I thought, "Here we go again". However, the process completed and installed the Acrobat Pro software as advertised. This might be a work around others can use that are having issues with Safari.

    Win 7 either comes with a virtural XP machine installed, or it's freelly availible.  I forget which, but this may be a simple solution to your issue.
