Acrobat Pro 9, X, and XI refuse to install

I recently upgraded my current machine and repaved it. I am trying to get Acrobat Pro reinstalled. I've tried Acrobat 9, X, and the XI trial.
For all three versions, the install completes, but when I run the actual Acrobat application I get a dialog saying:
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and
mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 16
I've reinstalled, rebooted, uninstalled, in every permutation I can think of. The above error is for the Acrobat XI download. I've also gotten Error: 6. The PDF print driver did install and works, but I want the actual Acrobat app.
This is standalone Acrobat, not part of CS Studio or any other package.
My machine:
WIndows 8 64 bit
Intel i7 CPU
8 GB RAM
over 500 GB free on C: drive
Any suggestions?

Hi ap9ut4vn,
Error 16 usually comes up due to permission issues.
Please check the solution 1 of the KB Doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html
If the installation completes and you are unable to launch the software, you can try the below mentioned basic troubleshooting steps :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the enabled Administrator account and check.

Acrobat Pro only. I have a document which I am try to convert into a scanned document. I am trying to find out if it can be done on Acrobat Pro

It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

Unable to install updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and MS Office 2008

This is a followup post to a nagging problem last fall that prevented successful installation of product version updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2008 running under OS X v10.6.5. Days of fruitless, circular pursuit of solutions from both Adobe and Microsoft tech support provided no recognition of the problem…let alone an answer.
Fortunately, a few helpful techs at a nearby Apple Store yielded results. They were initially as perplexed as their counterparts but it gratified to this customer when each recognized the problem was real and was sufficiently motivated to track down a solution.
By process of elimination it was suggested: i) reinstall the original Snow Leopard 10.6.0 upgrade disk; ii) download the v10.6.5 combo update to bring the OS current; and iii) download and install the Acrobat and Office updates. It worked—perfectly—the first time.
The consensus seems to be that a combination of many successive installations of OS and product version updates eventually produced conflicting instructions resulting in stalemate.
Remarkably, it hasn't been necessary (or appealing) to perform a clean install since some point prior to the introduction of OS X. Nor has it since. A 'rollback' to the original Snow Leopard version with one subsequent update to the current OS version appears to have cleared out a nest of remnant conflicting instructions. Kudos to Apple's tech support and Occam's Razor.

Hello,
You can download the Acrobat 9 updates manually by following link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
However, PDF Maker plugin would not be enable in Outlook, as Acrobat 9 is not support with Office 2013.
Please refer to following compatibility chart:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
You need to have Acrobat 11 to get PDF maker plugin in Office 2013.

When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files...

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

Pro*COBOL precomp and .pco demos not installed

Hi,
I am new to the Oracle database.
Installing Oracle 9.2, Standard Edition - downloaded Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3 for Windows NT/2000/XP from the OTN downloads.
I have COBOL programmes with embedded SQL - I need the Pro*COBOL precompiler (procob).
It seems like Pro*COBOL did not get installed and I do not have the \procob\ demos folder under %ORACLE_HOME%\precomp\demo\. In fact, the only folder in the \demo\ folder is \sql\.
I have tried compiling my own COBOL programs, which use the COBSQL preprocessor to call the Oracle procob precompiler. I get the error message:
* CSQL-I-018: Invoking ORACLE8 Precompiler/Translator
'procob' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
* CSQL-F-021: Precompiler did not complete -- Terminating
Are Pro*COBOL precompiler and the procob demos installed with the download version of Oracle 9.2? Where can I get them from?
Many thanks

Hi, me again.
The procob demos are not installed by default -- Standard installation.
With a Custom installation, Pro*COBOL is found under 'Oracle 9i Development Kit 9.x > Oracle Programmer 9.x > Optional Dependencies'. You have to check the box 'Show all components including required dependencies' on the Custom install dialog to be able to expand the components and see the Pro*COBOL precompiler under Optional Dependencies.
I will get to testing the procob demos now and post back the success/failure of the Pro*COBOL precompiler installation.

Error (150:30) for Acrobat Pro 9.3 and PS 3 & 4 CS

I just had a very nice call with a support person at the 800 number, but I thought that I would still post my problem in the hopes that it might still help move towards a solution.
I lost use of Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 back in early June when I updated my MAC OS to Lion (OS X 10.7.4). After I upgraded to Lion, Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 stopped working and started giving me a notice saying, "Suite Product Activation Needed".
I unistalled the program and then reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 from the orginal Adobe CS 5 Design Standard disk. At that point I found that the reinstall still did not work and had created an additional set of problems. I stopped working on this because I was leaving my main office for the summer and figured that I would survive short term with Adobe Reader. I also figured a patch would present itself given enough time.
Now that I am back, I've found the time to revisit this. I am wondering if I somehow missed an opportunity to fix this because Lion upgraded to Mountain Lion and I upgraded the Mac OS before finding a fix for Acrobat.
I spent most of yesterday working on this and this is what I found:
1) I cannot not upgrade Acrobat Pro at all. It is stuck on version 9.3.0. This is important because I saw 9.5.2 was released and, if it has a patch, I cannot use it because I can't get back to 9.5.1.
2) I have been all over the boards looking for a solution. I did find the Support Document #51260 (which phone support directed me to as well). This document, "Error 'Licensing has stopped working'|MAC OS", outlines fixes up through Lion, but has not been updated to Mountion Lion.
3) From document #51260, I went ahead and downloaded LicenseRecoveryLauncher to have it. The problem, however, is this is a PowerPC app and Mounton Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps.
4) Because of document #51260, I tried opening my older Photoshop programs from CS 4 and CS 3. I get the same (150:30) notice with Photoshop CS4 ver 11.0.2 and just a notice saying that Licensing has topped working with Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1.
5) Since I'm writing this, I find that I am getting the same Licensing notice for Illustartor CS 3 & 4 and In Design CS 3 & $.
6) The one program that I can use is Photoshop CS 5 Version 12.0.4
As I said earlier, I am wondering if I didn't miss a window of some sort to fix this by not seeing the fix for Lion as described in Document #51260. I am also wondering if the problems are related to the fact the Mac no longer supports PowerPC apps.
Regardless, the problem of not being able to run Acrobat Pro 9 still exists for me and the current fix document does not solve the issue for Mountain Lion. Is there an updated fix that does?
I am running:
Mac Pro (Early 2008)
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X 10.8.1 (12B19))
PS - I tried downloading Acrobat 9.5.1 and when I click on the installer I get a warning message saying "AcroProUpd951_all" is an application froman unkown source and am I sure that I want to open it. I did open it, but it does not run a program. It takes me to Mac HD/users/My User Name/Documents/Acrobat User Data and then there is nothing to select. I can't even slect the Acrobat Pro Icon in the apps folder. My web browser is Firefow 15.0

Downloading acrobat pro 9.0 and CS5 in spanish

I have a macbook pro, and purchased CS5 design standard + acrobat pro 9 a few years ago. I now have a new mac, and when I download this version for Mac and use my series number it is not recognized. I dont know if the fact the the available versions are in English or other languages whereas I purchased Spanish version is relevant, but the SPanish version is apparently not available.
The download section apparently does not even have Acrobat pro 9 for Mac
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Comments and Stickies vanish and reappear when clicked!

Very strange problem, I'm having. If I add comments, stickies or callouts to a PDF, everything is great UNTIL I click off of the item being created. The item immediately disappears with no indication that anything is there (ie: a sticky "bubble" icon).
I know these items are still in the file because if I click in the area where a sticky was created, it instantly reappears, but only temporarily. But the minute I click again on something else or off the sticky itself, all comments and stickies disappear again. Same thing with callout objects.
So they ARE in the file - I have verified it. I can save and reopen the same PDF in Adobe Reader, and everything appears as expected - all of these elements are visible all the time, and respond as expected. Just absolute wackiness in Acrobat Pro 9.
This was never a problem in Pro 8 or earlier. I don't have Pro X to try.
All preferences for comments have been checked and tested. All comments were set to "show". Toggling the settings does not help. It happens in any pdf file being modified in Acrobat Pro.
The comment List does show me the full list and contents of the stickies, but in the main window - nothing shows up until I blindly find the right spot and click!
Very frustrating, indeed!
Working with a relatively new 27" Core i5 iMac with 8GB RAM running OS X 10.6.6.
Any ideas?

Try using a program like Onyx or Applejack to clean all user caches. You can also try to remove the Acrobat 9 preference file. It may have become corrupt.

Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9 and X): creating limitations in a group of fields.

Hello,
I am building a fillable questionnaire form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and X.
Within 1 question, I want to set 3 fields, each representing an answer that can only be answered once.
I know about Radio Buttons but, I need to have some text written instead of a checkbox.
How to set a limit onto a field to direct person filling in the form to answer only 1 of the 3 fields within the same question?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Win_win

Thanks for your explaination although I am aware of both functions and thats why I chose one over the other.
I can understand that with more experiences with scripts or the software, you can 'play' with the function much easier and better than I could as I'm quite junior to all of these. So I appreciate if you can bare with me as I try to explain what troubles I have and ways I had tried to solve them.
The trouble I have, is Radio buttons have pre-set options and thus would not allow end user to write down their own value. But what I need, is the value and the limitations that the end user could only choose 1 of the 3 options from a group. (Note that I am not using any scripts so I'm using the softwares' function as-is.) In other words, if the group for 1 button has answers as A, B, or C. I want to know how much of A. And not a pre-set value of A. If the end user chose A, then B and C would not be chosen. As it's either the quantity of A, or B, or C.
Also, what I did not understood from your message earlier today was what is a 'nullstring' in a text field and how to create that?
It seems from your response earlier that I could solve my problem with either Radiobuttons or, Checkboxes.
If I were to use checkboxes, then how can I 'add a control to make the text field read-only when one of the checkboxes has been selected' as you've suggested?
Is one option better than another? At managing responses received?
I will have to repeat this for quite an amount of questions I have for the form, so whichever that is easier to achieve and would produce minimum problems /errors, would be preferred.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.
