Acrobat Pro X Won't Open, please help.

I have Creative Suite 6, which I purchased last summer.   I mostly only use Photoshop and Illustrator.  I have used Acrobat Pro X before without problems, however I have not used it now for several months.  But today, I tried to use Acrobat Pro X, and at first, it opened for maybe 20 seconds, and then closed.  I tried to reopen the file again, and on this, and all subsequent attempts, Acrobat Pro would not open at all. 
A few minutes ago, I looked at the Acrobat Pro forum, and someone named TMoellman had the exact same problem as I did, with his question being posted earlier today.  The moderator told TMoellman to go to the CS forum.  I hoped to find his question here, and an answer.  But I found nothing. 
I have Windows 8.1.  I used an application that checks all of my programs for updates, and it told me my Acrobat Pro X was up to date.  I also re-booted my PC a couple of times.
What do I do?  Thank you, Chuck

Hi Lisley56, I found the solution there is a Plug in for Acrobat X Pro that came with Adobe Suite CS6... I downloaded it and that did it!!! It's called "Acrofix". Try looking it up in the Adobe website!!! I hope it works!!

    Hi Coloredge,
    What operating system are you on, and what happens when you try to open Acrobat? Do you receive any sort of error message?  Did you run into any trouble when you downloaded and installed Acrobat?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so that we can get to the bottom of this.
    Best,

  • Acrobat pro 9 won't open pdf files

    Just downloaded trial version of pro 9 for Mac.  I tried to install pro 8 and found out that it is not compatible with snow leopard.  The uninstall in version 8 is also not compatible with snow leopard.  So I had all kinds of trouble uninstalling version 8.  This may be the problem.  I finally got version 8 off the Mac but the uninstall may not be complete.  I installed version 9 and I'm having all the same problems that I did after I installed 8.
    The uninstall of version 9 worked and I tried reinstalling it.  Still won't open a pfd file.  The main problem is that I get the following error when I click on a pdf file.
    "The document “5 Chptr 2010.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format."
    What do I need to do to get version 9 to work????
    Also when I click on the Acrobat icon in my tray the program does not launch.  All I get is the menu bar at the top of my screen.  On my windows machine when I open acrobat I get the "wizard" screen that allows me to select what tasks I want to do.  And when I try to create a pdf file from a msoffice word document it won't allow me to convert the document.  I get the following error message.
    "Acrobat could not open 'This is a test document.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications."

    Hi rms,
    Have you installed Acrobat X and XI Pro both on the same Mac.
    Adobe doesn't recommend coexixting different versions of the same software.
    Please remove both the versions and install any one of them and then check.
    Also make sure you have updated Acrobat to the latest patch.
    For 10 it's v 10.1.9 and for 11 it's v11.0.6

  • Itunes 10 Installs but won't open - Please Help

    I had Itunes 10 installed working on my computer. I installed a program which also installed an older version of Quicktime which I think was version 6.5. The next time I tried to open Itunes it said I needed verion 7.5 of Quicktime to open Itunes please reinstall Itunes. Now comes the problem. I have installed and uninstalled Itunes about 10 times, everytime it install ok but does not open when I click on the icon. The itunes.exe file opens in task manager for a few seconds then closes. I have searched a few places for solutions with no avail. I have tried the correct order of removing apple programs and deleting temp folder and internet cache. I have tries msconfig but can't find any of the programs which have affected other users. I have tried creati9ng another user account for windows but Itunes still won't open. Can anyone please help. My computer is Windows 7 32 bit. Thank in advance.

    No, the program I installed was Winavi MP4 which coverts video to ipod psp format etc.
    Ack, that one's just as bad. It's been causing this sort of grief for iTunes users for over five years now.
    What it has probably done here is drop old versions of QuickTime componentry in unorthodox locations on the PC (usually down in your operating system files). So we're going to go looking for that.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • My Final Cut Pro 7 won't open! Help!

    Hey!
    So I've had FCP 7 for awhile now and it's been working perfectly!
    But then a week ago I tried to open it and
    it spends a couple of seconds starting up then comes up with,
    ' Unable to locate the following external devices:
    Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)
    Your system configuration may have changed, or your deck/ camera may be disconnected or tuned off.
    Please check your connections and click 'Check Again', or click 'Continue' to set external device selection to None.'
    But I don't have a camera/device that is connected?
    I've tried to click 'Check Again' but nothing happens...
    and when I click 'Continue' this pops up:
    Non-Writable Scratch Disks
    One or more of the scratch disks you have specified does not have read/write access.
    To preserve the integrity of the data used by Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to ensure read/write access to the following:
    Macintosh HD/Users/haleighdoyle/Desktop/External Drive/Documents
    And the only option is for me to reset my scratch disks. And then it pops up saying that:
    One or more of your chosen scratch disks cannot be found. Please verify your current selection in the scratch disks preferences.
    And THEN this pops up...
    PLEASE HELP ME! I'm not too sure what to do now.
    Thank you!

    You are in the wrong forum.
    You need to post this in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • Cannot Install Adobe Acrobat Pro via Adobe Download Assistant - Please Help

    Hi Guys,
    Please can you help I am trying to download the adobe acrobat pro trial via the adobe download assistant but cannot get the download to complete successfully.
    Everytime I try and  download the file it freezes when almost totally downloaded (less than a minute remaining) and eventually returns an error saying:
    Error extracting teh product installer (Error 101). Check for available disk space on your system and try downloading the product again. I am trying to install to the desktop on a drive with 600GB free!!
    Please help, I have downloaded the ADA through google chrome on a machine with windows 7 (64bit)
    Thanks
    Mike

    Try this:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Though if the extraction fails, you may face that same issue again. Store the fiel in a different location and do a littel housekeeping. You could well simply be running out of temp space or have a permissions problem on your temp folder...

  • Getting strange messages and Logic won't open PLEASE HELP!

    I haven't opened Logic for a few weeks because I have been out of town.
    I just tried to open a project and got the message "logic pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers" and an empty project pops up with lines through all the plug-ins, etc...
    When I try to simply just open Logic (NOT a project) Logic simply does not open and just sits there. (The little Logic opening window stalls on the "Searching for Audio Unit Plug-ins (Apple:AUbandpass)...)
    What could be causing this?
    The only thing I have done recently on my computer that is a little out of the ordinary is drag the "Preferences" folder (User/Library/Preferences) to my desktop to try and fix another issue I was having on my computer, BUT I QUICKLY UNDID this action (with the undo function) before continuing. Could this have anything to do with my current problem? I have project I NEED to open now and I can't figure this out. PLEASE HELP!
    Message was edited by: Jack Q

    UPDATE:
    I was able to get Logic to finally open (sort of), BUT:
    When I go to the Audio Units Manager it shows ALL the audio units as crashed, or "crashed validation" under the compatibility heading.
    All the boxes are unchecked on the left. When I try to check any of them, it says in the grey window that pops up, for example:
    "validating Audio Unit AUAudioFilePlayer by Apple:
    validation result: crashed validation
    updating properties of AU AUAudioFilePlayer by Apple...done."
    THEN a window pops up stating: "The application Logic Pro has quit Unexpectedly" and this happens every time I try this.
    Also, every time I start Logic I get the same "The application Logic Pro has quit Unexpectedly" pop-up window, along with a Logic pop-up dialogue that reads: "You are using incompatible Audio Units. Dear Logic Pro user,
    you have 1 Audio Unit(s) enabled which did not pass the Apple AU validation. This may cause problems and can even crash Logic Pro or lead to data loss! Please check with the manufacturer(s) for updated versions. We recommend disabling these plug-ins in the AU Manager." with the buttons: Start AUmanager or Ignore.
    AND, even more odd, regardless of what button I choose Logic continues to open to the arrange window.
    Is there anything I can try next? I am going insane over this...

  • Updated to the iOS 7 and now my iTunes Store keeps crashing and won't open please help, Updated to the iOS 7 and now my iTunes Store keeps crashing and won't open please help

    I recently updated the software on my iPhone 5 and now I can't open my iTunes Store and e keypad seems really slow in responding. I have turn my phone in and off but it hasn't solved the issue. Can someone please help!

    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:

  • Itunes won't open please help!!!!!!

    Please help me I installed my itunes and quicktime, but the itunes wont open. I tried redownloading itunes and I even tried to install an older version of quicktime. It opened than but wouldn't work said that I needed to have the updated version. So I reinstalled the updated versions. And again it just gives me the hour glass symbol than nothing. I do not have norton and no other programs will interfer with it. Can someone please help me?

    Hey jimmymohawk,
    What is the exact error message? Is it saying that Quicktime needs to updated?
    This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 should help you get iTunes installed sucessfully. Quicktime will have to be uninstalled, you may have to use the part of the article "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer," then iTunes can be repaired or reinstalled.

  • Lightroom 5 Catalog Won't Open - PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    So, my most important lightrooom catalog won't open and I don't know what to do. Screenshot below. I guess it didn't shut down before I ejected my hard drive.

    Look in the backups folder, there should be several folders that are dated, look in the latest date and open that catalog, depending how much time was between the last back up and your last work, will determine how much work you lost.
    What I recommend (hind site here) is once you get your catalog open is save a catalog first in a location easy to get to, normally where your old corrupted catalog was. then select all images then save. (ctrl/cmd-s) This will write the metadata to your files on the drive or side car files(depending how you set it up and if they are raw or jpg. ) Then you will have this for a backup, as you will know that all edits you have done are in the metadata, therefore you can create a new catalog and import all files to get back to where you were.
    That said, use this method as a last case scenario, normally using a back up catalog would be good enough. However, if something happened to that main folder, like corrupted segments on the drive, you would have your images to fall back on, or at least those you can access.
    But if your backing up to an external drive, you should be alright anyway.
    I tend to go over board with backing up since I had a drive that crash a few years ago.

  • Final Cut Pro Won't Open, Please Help

    Hello everyone,
    I had my main hard drive started to fail, but I was lucky enough that
    I was able to clone the drive with Data Rescue II.
    The majority of my files were ok. I had to do a reinstall for some
    things. Which brings me to FCP. Whenever I try to launch FCP, I get the launch window, I get the window where everything is loading, then it just stops. I have FCP Studio install disk. After a couple tries, I reinstalled the software, and the same thing.
    I deleted the Application file and the System ID file.
    I reinstalled and updated, tried to launch, I have deleted the
    application file in Application folder, reinstalled. and again
    nothing.
    One thing that I have noticed is that even after I deleted the Apps and System ID files, when I go to reinstall, it still says upgrade? Is there a file(s) that I am missing.
    I am on a tight deadline, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance

    Welcome to the forum S. Dot! You are lucky seems to me...
    Try trashing your Preference files for FCP using this: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ If That fails, you could try creating a new user to give it another go with... BUT:
    Funny, the same thing just happened to me. I used Data Rescue II as well. I've saved data several times for clients too, but in no case would I trust the clone that Data Rescue would deliver... I'd be starting over though with a fresh install of OS and applications. Be happy you've saved your data though, it can be copies over to a new startup disk.
    I'd build a new startup disk from the ground up. Install OS X, Run Software update to get to the latest, then install the Studio, and run Software update again to get to the latest... then install other apps you need to. Using a different drive other than the one you are using now... that way you can copy over from the clone you're working with now.
    You'll only need previous serial numbers for FCP when you install any of the upgrades. Just install the latest vesion you have.
