Acrobat Reader 5 not compatible w/ W7

Informed that Acrobat Reader 5 is not compatible with a just-installed Windows 7.

Acrobat Reader 5.0 was released 13 years ago; why would you want to install such an old software version?
On Windows 7 you should install the latest Reader version 11.0.6; download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

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.

Launch Acrobat Reader 8 not-maximized

I have a flex 3 app (not AIR) for which I am launching the
acrobat reader 8 with a pdf that the user selects from a tree
control. The code looks like....
var pdfUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://server/pdftest/1.pdf");
navigateToURL(pdfUrl,"_blank");
I have set the Internet options in the Adobe Acrobat Reader
to not launch in the browser. The problem is that every time the
reader launches it is maximized....is there a way to launch it so
that it is not maximized (even if it will use its last window size
would be good).
Thanks

Acrobat/Reader 9 were the first version to incorporate AES-256 code, so if you want to remain backwards compatible with Reader 7 or 8 you need to continue to use AES-128. I believe this is documented in the help for the section that describes how policy edit works.

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

When I click PDF file, the file does not open and installation software for creative suite automatically begin to start. Even after re-installation of creative suite 5.5, only acrobat reader dose not work and the same phenomena occurs.

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

I get this error when trying to print from a website.
Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
You will be directed to a site where you can download
the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

Have you done ALL OF THIS?
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

Why does Adobe not inform customers who have iPhones below 5 that Reader is not compatible until very near the end after WASTING customer's time? BIG NEGATIVE from here

Long Term Signature & Advanced functionality of Reader (measurement) not compatible with the PDF/A

Dovrei pubblicare sul web e distribuire più di 800 file PDF di grafica vettoriale quasi tutti ottenuti da ArcView e Adobe Acrobat XI. (Windows XP S.P.3)
Tutti i PDF sono stati verificati con la "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI risultando conformi allo standard PDF/A.
I file sono poi stati firmati con PDF Signer (utilissimo per la firma massiva dei PDF)
Riverificati con la "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI sono risultati ancora conformi allo standard PDF/A.
I file sono quindi stati salvati abilitando le funzionalità avanzate di Adobe Reader (creazione commenti e misurazione) e incorporando le informazioni di verifica per la convalida a lungo termine della firma.
La "Verifica preliminare" di Acrobat XI ora indica che i PDF non sono più compatibili con lo standard PDF/A-1b (2005)
Problema di sintassi: Oggetto indiretto con numero di oggetto non preceduto da un indicatore EOL
Dettagli del documento:
Valori trigger
L'oggetto indiretto contiene un numero di oggetto non preceduto da un indicatore EOL.: vero
{ 28 0 obj }

Long-Term validation feature in PDF is not compatible with PDF/A as you have already found out. In Acrobat XI LTV info is automatically added to the signed PDF when a PDF is saved again (after signing). You need to turn this feature off (it is ON by default). Go to Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Verification->More and change the radio button for "Automatically add verification information for signed PDFs" to "Never".

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Acrobat Reader does not recognise my printer

Hello,
When I attempt to print a pdf document from adobe reader, my printer is not listed in the dropdown list of available printers. I am therefore unable to print anything. This issue only occurs with acrobat reader, all other windows applications recognise the printer and print fine. The printer is connected via wifi.
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the drivers, as well as acrobat reader. I have restarted my computer. The issue still persists.
My system information is as follows:
Windows 8 64 bit pc
Epson WF-7515 with the latest drivers
Acrobat reader version 11.0.0
Any solutions are much appreciated
Regards

I have the same problem. My Brother HL-1430 over USB connected to my Airport Express works perfectly. But via Time Capsule no way. I did all the deletion, re-install etc., but no success. I think the Time Capsule has still some problems to solve. What I did now:
I have connected my Airport Express via Ethernet (bridge mode) to my Time Capsule. I have my stereo and USB printer connected to Airport Express. My TC connects to the Internet. In addition I have an additional USB HD connected to TC for TC archiving and file sharing.
My MacBook connects to TC only. Now all works fine. I can use everything together at the same time (Internet, printing, music streaming, TimeMachine) without even having dropping bits when streaming sound in parallel.
Here I must say, that I would have long expected Apple to finally include Air Tunes into its base stations and TC. It's a bit of a joke that you still need to buy an additional Airport Express just to stream your music. Here marketing and product positioning at Apple goes too far and harms the concept of an easy and integrated solution.

Acrobat 8 Pro not compatible with Win 7 Pro 64

When I changed from Win XP Pro to Win 7 Pro I could not transfer Acrobat 8 Pro. Adobe Support just informed me that Acrobat 8 Pro was not designed for Win 7 and that's it. This was pretty frustrating and gave me the opportunity to search the market. I am going to switch to PDF Suite that is coequal to Acrobat but hundreds of times favorable in price!

Support gave you the correct answer. The new underpinnings of Windows 7 makes it impossible for Acrobat 8 to function properly. It should not surprise you that new OSs require new software. Acrobat 9 is very nice software, you can get an special upgrade price from 8 to 9. Acrobat 10 is likely to be available real soon now. There are many programs available to create pdfs. Office can do so natively. If that is all you need then Acrobat may not be for you. However, for some there is nothing quite like Acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 not compatible with windows 7

Hello,
Some years ago I bought Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which I placed on my old computer. Now I have a new computer with windows 7 and the acrobat 6.0 version apears not compatible with this windows version. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Arjen

If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can download Windows XP Mode and attempt to install Adobe Acrobat 6 in the virtual environment. Windows XP Mode uses Windows Virtual PC to run a full Windows XP Professional 32 bit environment virtually, and it is a free download. A limitation you may encounter is that the PDF printer will not be accessible from your Windows 7 programs, only from programs which are installed in the Windows XP Mode environment.
This subject has been discussed on several forums, and while Acrobat version 6 does install and work for some users, the PDF printer does not install on Windows 7. Version 9 was the first version which was compatible with Windows 7, so if this is critical to you, you should consider upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat.

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 not compatible with Windows Vista

On installing this software on my new Windows Vista, incompatibility message says I need to install kernel-mode print driver. Where can I get this from. No luck with the Adobe website technical support!

Then you will need to purchase an upgrade to the current version 8.1.
Note that Acrobat Standard would be a downgrade; to retain all your
current features you'd need Acrobat Professional.
Note that there was no product called Acrobat Writer, if you want to
be exact. And you would normally have only one of "Acrobat" and
"Acrobat Reader". To make it even more confusing, "Acrobat Reader" was
renamed "Adobe Reader".

Acrobat Reader is not properly displaying dynamic drop down when LiveCycle does

I have a sample file that loads a drop down menu from an xml file. This form works fine in the preview pane of LiveCycle. I see the values properly populated. When I attempt to load the same file with Acrobat Reader the drop down menu shows up empty. I have saved the document as a Dynamic PDF. This happens with both Reader 8.0 and 7.0 on two different machines. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a known issue?

How are you merging the data to the form before viewing in Reader? Using the Preview in Designer allows you to pass xml data when rendering the PDF but when you save out a PDF Form from Designer the data is not part of the form. And without Reader extending the form (or using Acrobat Pro) you have no way of pulling in the xml data so that the drop down can populate.
