Acrobat Professional 8.0. not combatible with Windows 7

I was given a computer running Vista that had Pro 8.0 installed.  I never used Pro 8.0, but everything else worked OK.  I used PC Mover to move everything to a new computer running Win 7.  With this IE could not download .pdf files, and the computer would lock up.  Since I did not need Pro 8.0, I tried to uninstall it.  The uninstall would not run completely but Pro 8.0 no longer shows in the program list.  I still have the download hang up problem.  I changed the settings of programs to use for various file types in Windows control panel to Acrobat Reader ( which is installed and works independently) for .pdf files, but this didnot help.  Can anyone please tell me how to get IE to use Acrobat Reader and not Pro 8.0 for downloads from IE?

Since you can't uninstall Acrobat, the only way that **I** know of would be to manually remove the Acrobat folder... run a good registry cleaner to remove all traces of Acrobat... then do a reinstall of Reader
I use Macecraft jv16 power tools for registry cleaning

  • Acrobat Pro 9 is not compatible with Windows 7

    Acrobat Pro 9 is not compatible with Windows 7.  How do I upgrade my version?
    Thanks,
    John

    Where did you get that information (other than Win 7 is not listed in the compatibility list)? I have been using AA9 on Windows 7 for several years (it is a 32-bit system). Did you try to install it or some other issue crop up? You may need to be sure you install the updates, but otherwise it should work. Even folks with AA8 have been successful on Win 7 (at least that is what they have reported), though they are likely to have some minor problems at times.
    My Win7 came with Acrobat 9 when Win 7 first came out and has worked fine. If you have upgraded OFFICE to 2010 or later, then you would only be able to print, not use PDF Maker.
    That being said, it is still a good idea to go ahead and upgrade. AA9 is the oldest version qualifying for the upgrade to AAXI.

  • Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

    When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

    Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
    If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

  • Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  Need replacement that will work.

    adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  need a replacement that will work.  any suggestions.

    I would recommend Acrobat 10.  You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.  It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

  • My office professional will not run with windows 8.1

    my office professional will not run with windows 8.1 It ran fine on 7 and 8 but not 8.1

      Microsoft Windows 8.1 officially supports all currently supported Microsoft Office versions including Office 2013 / 2010 / 2007 / 2003 , and may be even earlier versions unofficially. I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus on my Windows 8.1 and it runs fine with no issues.   Could you try what has already been suggested by others including Big_Dave and reinstall Microsoft Office with complete reboot/restart  between uninstall/new installation <restart, not shut down and start over>. If this doesn't work, please post again if installation went fine, what exactly is the error code (if any), what is the problem exactly, any screenshots ?

  • Acrobat Professional 7.0 not able to PDF documents

    Acrobat Professional 7.0 was working fine, then I got a message to update to Acrobat 7.1. I clicked yes, it installed, I restarted, and now I can't PDF documents anymore.
    The document opens a pop-up, "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" immediately after I save the to-be-pdf'ed document. When I click "yes", It slowly runs the repair mode, then the computer shuts down and restarts. I go to PDF again, and I get the same "Missing PDFMaker files". I don't know what to do about this.

    please delete me from your mailing list.  tks.

    Yes! Thank you. I played around with it some and found that is the case, that I can PDF through the printer as well as bring the application up. I suppose it's just not install-able in full because it just cannot link up with Windows 7 in any capacity.
    That's all the ability that I need at the present time. Nothing special, just whether it can or can't. Thanks!

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

    32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

    Hi,
    I've changed the output device in order to test with the LP01 printer.
    This device is not active in SPAD but if i setup my action with this device I can preview the smartform. It is not possible to preview the smartform with the printer that I'd like to use.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.
