Acrobat Pro XI - won't add pages??

Acrobat Pro XI - Windows XP. Try to add pages - just freezes - sometimes asks "Before or after" - but takes 2 minutes for this. Often it just crashes. Anyone else had this?

Bucko, that is an excellent call!!
My company got real sick of the lack of support, the obnoxious insistence on private personal data of our employees and the distinct difficulties obtaining support from their applications which become more problematic with each upgrade.
80% of our company's workstations and laptops have been unable to complete updates due to the "rollback" problem - which we were told had to do with errors in Adobe's allocation of our group licences which they took almost a whole month to resolve.
If you bought your copy of Adobe from an online vendor you may have been given a dodgy ISO to download.
As consumers it is our obligation to RESPECT the EULA of Adobe, not to spend hours of our valuable time PROTECTING it! Lost time to due productivity interruption and wasted time talking to dodgy support staff renders the product excessively overpriced and uneconomical.
Foxit is a great alternative!  ......  and there are others too.
Pursuit of monopoly gains rather than the pursuit of technological advancement will make these bloated software companies as redundant as the proverbial dinosaurs if they are not a little more careful and a little less arrogant.

    Purchased acrobat pro but won't open when I sign in

    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,

    Have combined 20 MS Word files (.doc) into a single pdf.
    the Pdf file is of 5000+ Pages.
    when i try to insert page numbers of the format (Page 1 of n)
    (page numbering starts from page 2)
    Acrobat Pro hangs. I have to force close the application.
    This happens everytime.
    is there a solution to this?? Appreciate your Help.
    OS: Windows 7 SP1

    Have you tried doing a Save As before applying the page numbers? Also, have you tried applying the page numbers in two or these passes instead of one?

  • I have installed Acrobat X PRO; Not able to add page Numbers, Acrobat Crashes.

    These are the steps that i follow,
    1) Group all the MS word files in one folder.
    2) combine files into Pdf
    3) From Tools, select Header and Footer and try to insert page numbers of the format (Page 1 of n)
    4) And adjust some header footer values,
    5) Select start the page numbering from page 2.
    6) Click OK -> Acrobat Pro hangs and then crashes.

    I use Windows 7 SP1. Please let know if you need any other details.

    First, make sure you all the latest updates for Acrobat X. Next, try temporarily turning off Enhanced security under Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) to see if this might be interfering with something.

  • Cannot get Canon LIDE 220 Scanner to work with Acrobat XI Pro, Acrobat will not let scanner add pages to existing PDFs

    Hi
    I have recently purchased a Canon Scanner LIDE 220 for my new PC which has Windows 8.1 64-bit and ADOBE ACROBAT XI Professional.
    I NEED to be able to open PDF documents and add pages by using the scanner, but the scanner is not being accepted by ACROBAT. I get messages that there is no scanner connected or no driver installed. I have uploaded Canon's latest drivers for the scanner but when I try to get Acrobat to accept the scanner it says the scanner will not accept presets.
    I need some help!!
    Thanks
    Andy White

    Andy,
    Some scanners do not support presets, so when you choose an unsupported scanner from the pop-up menu, a dialog stating "This scanner does not support presets" appears. Have you tried scanning using Custom Scan through File > Create PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan..?
    Thanks

  • Acrobat Pro XI won't even open, immediately shuts down

    My trial period finished, and I just bought the license, but it won't work.
    As soon as I double click on the acrobat pro application, it just shows a window for about 5 seconds and immediately shuts down... I can't believe i payed for this and haven't been able to use it.
    I have OS X 10.9.5
    and then I get this...

    someone help please!!

  • Acrobat Pro 9 won't recognize scanner

    When I try to scan into Acrobat Pro 9, I can't get the program to recognize my Lexmark x7170 scanner/printer. The scanner scans and prints fine in other programs.
    I've looked for driver updates, but the Lexmark page doesn't have any for Mac.
    I'd like to use the scanner feeder for multipage documents, so I'm open to suggestions for other programs that can create a multipage document to be turned into a pdf.

    the Lexmark page doesn't have any for Mac.
    Then you're probably out of luck.
    Better post your question on Adobe's forums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

  • Acrobat Pro XI won't download to my 64 bit Win Vista Machine - Why?

    Is it because it runs on an AMD Turlon 64 bit processor or is It Vista, the dinosaur?  Any help with how to proceed would be appreciated... I bought the "car" (Acrobat Pro XI), but the Dealer (Adobe) won't let me park it in my garage (Laptop) because the roof is 5 years old on my house. I jest, but you get the analogy...
    All i really want to do is password protect a PDF that I was sent and then filled the form and want to email to someone else and I don't want just anyone to be able to open the completed form...any tips here and maybe I can return the car to the dealer.. haha

    Thanks for the info on security.  Not sure the other party I am intending to send the document to is technically capable  to handle certificates.
    i Suppose if I could use a 128 hashed key as the password, it might be "good enough".
    On a lighter side, a halfway decent password (non dictionary words) is STILL better than shopping at a Billion $$ Furtune 1000 company like Target, Home Depot, or TJ Mexx to name a few (100 Milion cumomter account info stolen)..
    To continue my analog, I'm not ready to build a new grage for the new car just quite yet.... so the car goes back to the dealer... 
    So, I am still looking for a way to pasword protect a PDF. Does it need to occur at time of  PDF document creation?
    thanks in advance if someone knows a solution to my Password issue.

  • Acrobat Pro CD won't run

    We just bought Acrobat Pro and the CD won't run to install on my Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  • Acrobat Pro XI won't update using CC desktop

    I have CC for teams and Acrobat XI Pro will not update through the Creative Cloud desktop app on Macs (haven't tested Windows yet). As a test I removed all instances of Adobe from my system (apps, application support files, prefs, launch daemons, everything) and installed the latest Creative Cloud desktop application (1.7.2.419 as of 9/3/14). Logged in and installed Acrobat Pro and it installed version 11.0.0., not 11.0.7, or any previous version. Ok, so its installing an old version, kind of odd but surely the CC desktop app will know its out of date and offer an update. Nope. How about a restart... nope again. I tried this on a couple other systems and got the same results so it appears that the CC desktop app is installing out of date versions of the apps and then not recognizing they're out of date.
    Is this happening for anyone else?

    i installed acrobat xi cc a few days ago (on a new computer).  it just now updated from 11.0.0 to 11.0.8 (i think)

  • 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!!

  • Acrobat Pro XI won't update to 11.0.4

    I'm trying to update Creative Cloud Suite Acrobat Pro XI to 11.0.4. I've tried deinstalling and reinstalling. I've tried to update from within the APP itself and it starts, but an hour later it hasn't updated. I'm on a Mac with the most recent system software.
    I'm hoping that this version will take advantage of the retina display of this Mac. It seem odd to me that Mac Preview makes PDFs look so much better than viewing the same document through Acrobat.

    I have the same problem. Acrobat always updates separately from Creative Cloud
    CC always says Acrobat is up to date (see screenshots for 11.0.04) but then I get a prompt to update directly from Acrobat.
    This seems crazy to me, inconsistent and badly implementsd. I installed Acrobat through CC but unlike the other apps it doesn't update. ????

  • Acrobat Pro reinstall won't accept serial number.

    I have an iMac running Yosemite. I had to reinstall Adobe CS3 suite on a partition because I have some files that I need to keep the older software for, but when I open the program Acrobat Pro after the install, which went OK, it says my serial number is not valid. I also entered the serial number for the previous version of Acrobat Pro, and the serial number for CS2, but still get the same message. All the other programs opened OK and accepted the serial number, and I have reinstalled before on both Snow Leopard and Mavericks with no problem.  Any thoughts on the problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi rolandk43,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    Do you have separate serial number for Acrobat and CS3 suite?
    Also attach the screen shot of your problem when you reply.
